Craver
Intense stress makes it hard to resist cravings and the habits you’re trying to change.
Your answers pointed to the pull of habit under pressure. You told us stress makes it hard to quit a bad habit, that you overeat or reach for indulgent behavior, and that you turn to things like smoking, drinking, spending, or gambling when stress hits. The urge is real — and it’s loudest exactly when you’re most depleted.
The win lives in the pause between the urge and the action. Meditation/Mindfulness and Healthy Thinking widen that gap over time.
Remember, don’t beat yourself up if you give in. Use it as a learning experience and take action to improve in the future.
Small shifts that help
- 1Identify the times of day you’re most likely to crave, and try to control your environment.
- 2Seek connection with others when you’re feeling low, rather than a quick fix.
- 3Physically distance yourself from whatever you’re craving to help you refocus.
- 4Cravings can arise when you’re tired — take a power nap and try to get more sleep.
- 5Recognize when you’re craving and actively distract yourself.

TouchPoints for Calm + Zippered Sweatbands
When an urge spikes, use the purple/fast setting for a few minutes to ride it out. Cravings come in waves — giving your nervous system a calming input helps the wave crest and pass without you having to white-knuckle it.

Thodian™
TouchPoints are your moment-of-choice tool — purple/fast to interrupt a spike and ride it out. Thodian works one layer beneath that. With continuous, background regulation it smooths your overall state, so urges arrive smaller and less sticky — turning down the amplitude of the craving itself rather than only helping you hold the line at the peak. The waves that still come are easier to let crest and pass.
