Why Hugging a Weighted Pillow Can Ease Anxiety with Quiet Mind CEO Mikey Goldman

from #WeGotGoals by aSweatLife · host aSweatLife

If we were on TikTok right now, I’d be referring to myself as an “anxiety girlie” and as such, I have tried many, many anxiety coping mechanisms and recently, I discovered the Quiet Mind weighted pillow and I am super in love.And joining me today on the podcast is Mikey Goldman, creator of Quiet Mind. We talk through where the idea came from, and a few of his big backers, like Nick woodman of GoPro and Chad Hurley of YouTube.We also discuss the reasons Mikey created Quiet Mind - a diagnosis of ADHD and managing the symptoms that came with taking multiple medications - and how surprising it was to him that a weighted pillow didn't exist already.References: Quiet Mind - code ASWEATLIFE - gets 15% Off!Thingtesting's take on Quiet MindScholarly article about Deep Pressure Stimulation on AutismThe effects of deep pressure on AnxietyBetter Homes and Gardens on the Launch of Quiet Mind  Hugging a pillow while sleeping - advice from the Quiet Mind blog

The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
