For those of you who are doing exams or stressed for various reasons, did you know that stress balls actually work.  According to Occupational Therapist, Carolyn Fitzgibbon, this sensory stress relief is not a gimmick and genuinely relieves tension (Wellbeing Issue 164, page 54).  Other forms of touch that can relieve tension include, patting a cat or dog, playing with a smooth stone or piece of Blu-Tack.  You can get this cute world globe stress ball from the ABC shop.
