Our bodies are incredible, and with the help of science, there are new tricks we can learn, many of which can be done at home.
It’s empowering to know that we have control over our own bodies and find little hacks that really work, let’s begin!
Blowing on your thumb for anxiety
Blowing on your thumb for a few seconds is believed to stimulate the vagus nerve that runs from your brain to your abdomen, which can help to calm you down.
The Ear Trick
One technique believed to aid in falling asleep is by stimulating the pressure points in your ear. To try it out, place your fingers behind each earlobe and move them just below the bony protrusion. Hold the pressure for a few seconds, then release and repeat.
The Tongue Trick
To help you concentrate and wake up, try this trick that reduces tongue movement and the cognitive processing of forming words. Stick your tongue out as far as possible and hold it there for a few seconds.
The Nose Trick
One purported trick to relieve a stuffy nose is by stimulating the blood vessels in your nose. You can do this by simply pinching your nose closed and inhaling through your mouth. Hold your breath for a few seconds, then exhale.

One way to improve your pronunciation is by practicing tongue twisters. These tricky phrases help stimulate the muscles in your tongue, making it easier to pronounce words more clearly. Give it a try with popular tongue twisters like “She sells seashells by the seashore” or “Unique New York, New York’s unique.”
