Question and Answer
QUESTION: How do biodots help people reduce stress?ANSWER: As a rudimentary biofeedback device, biodots give you biological feedback about what’s going on inside your body. The information, or feedback that it gives you let’s you know whether your efforts have been successful. Say you were trying to meditate as a way of lowering stress. At the end of the twenty minute meditation period, how would you know whether your meditation had actually worked to help you relax? If you were wearing a biodot, and it had turned from black to blue you’d know that the temperature just beneath the surface of your skin had increased and (by deduction) you would know that your capillaries had opened up, that the blood flow had improved and that you had activated the relaxation response. That’s how biodots help people to reduce stress. By giving you feedback on internal functions of the body that you can’t detect in any other way.
Quick Stress Tips
Allow Extra Time
Time pressure is a major source of stress. Next time you snap at the kids, feel stressed in a traffic jam or get chewed out by your boss, look below the surface. Time pressure is often the culprit. To counteract this stressor, build in extra time for everything that you do: For kids who dawdle, for traffic that gets tied up and for assignments that often take longer than you think. When you take this simple advice to heart you'll be amazed at how much stress you'll avoid.

From The Blog
Self-referencing is a term psychologists use to describe the way in which we see ourselves. Most people see themselves in a narrative way, in other words: in stories. Sometimes these stories are positive: "I'm a nice guy, I play by the rules, I have integrity." And sometimes they're negative: "Why do bad things always happen to me; I'm so unlucky; My spouse is a pain; My coworkers are rude."
