Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Look, I was as skeptical as anyone when I bought the thinking egg. My first thought was " how exactly is a metal egg going to have any effect on my mental health?" But after it arrived, I started to understand how the egg isn't representing its value in a tangible way, but more as a trigger for a different mindset. After years working in a high-pressure financial firm, living under constant stress was a way of life. In fact, I would often pride myself on being able to "handle" the constant internal and external demands of the job. It wasn't until recently that I discovered what kind of long term damage this type of lifestyle can have on your brain and your creative abilities. I couldn't continue to allow my mental health to take a back seat any longer. I needed some way to constantly check in with myself and focus on enjoying the moment. I tried doing this on my phone at first but it completely defeats the purpose. The second I would see a reminder to step away, another email would come in. Another text, another client demand, another thing to drag me back into the relentless work zone. It was escaping this cycle that the thinking egg represented for me. Every so often, I'll reach in my pocket and feel the egg. Instead of grabbing my phone and mindlessly scrolling, I'll hold the egg and check-in with myself. How am I doing? Am I happy with what I am doing today? How are my friends and loved ones doing? How can I be a better person for them? These constant reminders have done wonders for my own mental health and has stopped the cycle of just pulling out my phone whenever I'm not occupied. For that, The Thinking Egg has near-infinite value to me. When it is not in my pocket, I usually keep it displayed at home. I get a lot of comments on the design of the eggs and they are often noticed as soon as someone comes over. Thank you Orijin for helping me to train myself into putting my mental wellbeing first!
