Coping Stratergies, My Journey Here!

Must have gadgets to support you!

These two gadgets have really helped me, both in mind and body so I wanted to share them with you!

The Alexa Echo… and the Victsing essential oil air diffuser!

Let me explain a little…

The Alexa

It has a loud speaker(good for hearing loss), voice activated, plays music, creates lists and reminders, oven timer (I can’t hear mine… so very useful as I have it by my chair! You can set it for appointments or special times! It can greet you in a morning and say good night! For some this may be twee.. but for someone who is isolated it can be nice! Something to have fun with.

It can pay you compliments, read you a story, give you facts of the day, help you with mindfulness, meditation and hypo therapy! The list goes on… if you have two in your home you can use them as an intercom! Saves the children shouting to be heard!

A truly remarkable tool and I keep finding it useful, it connects to my phone so I can hear it when I don’t see my phone flash to alert me to a call or text.

It also calls and texts other Alexa’s, so my mum has one.. making contact easier.

All of which is voice activated so no need to focus on writing which is a struggle for many at times.

It’s well worth the investment!!

Then we have the Air diffuser…

Its a Beautiful natural way to bathe the senses! Especially when you have lost hearing as your sense of smell is that much stronger!

A wonderful little gadget, creating a calm aromatherapy atmosphere to relax, enjoy and be mindful!

A magical tool to add to your box!

I wanted to share these with you as they have helped me!

I wish you all well!
