- How to relieve stress? While a certain amount of stress in our lives is normal and even necessary, excessive stress can interfere with normal daily activities and take a toll on our personal lives and health. Today we at Bright Side invite you to try an ancient Japanese technique of self-relaxation that will not take you more than 5 minutes and can be done just about anywhere. To practice the technique, it is important to understand that each of the fingers of our hand represents a different feeling or attitude.

The index finger 1:03
The middle finger 1:06
The ring finger 1:09
The pinky finger 1:16
How this method works 1:38
SUMMARY:
- The thumb helps combat emotions like anxiety and worry. The index can help you combat fear. The middle finger helps you control anger and resentment.
- The ring finger can help you fight depression and sadness. Also, it’s responsible for making you more decisive. And the pinky helps to calm anxiety and increases optimism and confidence. This finger represents self-esteem.
- To harmonize the life energy in the body, grasp the finger with the opposite hand, wrapping all the fingers and thumb around it. Now hold each finger for one to two minutes.
- If you want to calm your mind, slightly press in the center of the palm with the thumb of the opposite hand and hold it for at least one minute.
- Practice this technique every day to stay calm and re-establish the balance within yourself.

Me:*squeezes whole hand*
😃😃
😂
what about the other finger which is all alone. ha ha lol
Chutu Squishy 😂
Hahaha
All the jokes apart, I tried it right now and it truly works. I was a mess of emotions since the last 2 days. It felt like my body was charged with emotions and I was under so much stress. I decided to hold all the fingers one by one. I first held the thumb and then the index fingers. As soon as a minute went by holding the index finger I automatically started feeling calm and a lot better. After around 10 minutes I even started laughing at some joke I thought. If half an hour ago someone would’ve told me I would feel this calm I wouldn’t have believed at all. I’m leaving this comment here so that anyone who’s here because of any mental health issue knows that THIS WORKS. Trust me I know how worse one can feel due to fear, anxiety , anger, sadness and lack of self - respect. Whoever needs this I hope you find the strength to carry on with whatever task is at your hand.
Thanks so much for your comment because it helped me know that this method really works!🙏🕊️
Thank you for the comment because all the jokes had me sceptical to try
Sanskriti Singh 🙏🏼
Its.. all about ur subconsious..mind
Tnx vry mch bro ❤️❤️❤️
Thumb - anxiety
Index - fear
Middle - anger
Ring - Sadness
Pinky - self-respect
Hero
I guess we have lots of anger
self-esteem
Thanks for summing it up...for some like me it was soo fast to follow and write down. 👍
That explains why the marriage ring goes On that finger
I think it's not about holding fingers, It's about mindset that you'll get relaxed by pressing that finger.
I agree with u
AND THATS HOW I THINK IN EVERYTHING EVEN MEDICINE IS LIKE THAT U THINK THAT IT WILL WORK THATS Y IT DO
Bacause of you..this method failed.
Agreed
I believe you’re talking about a placebo. Which could be a contributing factor! There are also pressure points in your hands c:
Is this the reason why, when holding someone's hand we feel calmer?
Maybe.. I have never thought about that
Wow what a Point
oooh~ that makes sense
Hahaha - no!
that's just bcz your emotions tho!!!
i just lost my sadness while reading the comment lol
Same QwQ
Same here
Uwu
😂😂😂
Truthful
To the person reading this
Remember to always take a moment in a day where you can collect yourself and put your mind at ease. MENTAL HEALTH is IMPORTANT! Whether it’s first thing in the morning, in the restroom, or even a couple of seconds after your park your car, FIND THAT MOMENT AND FIND THAT PEACE!
Very important reminder thank u

You tol hero
"Meeting friends"-increases my anxiety 😷
Shy army??
Relatable
Same but why is it happening tho I cant get it even if its stressful we should stay out there with our friends so why--
Introvert army
Tahmina Yeasmin I think it’s because of the social pressure that comes with having friends. As much as social interacting helps to contribute to a healthy mind, it needs to be managed so that you are limiting spending time around negativity or drama
- Why did you raise your middle finger at me?
- Ah, nothing, I am just angry

Video - 3 minutes long
@@petrastein2531 thx 🙂
hahaha when he said 5 min technique, I checked how long the video is 🤣
@@everydayplayreadforkids3854 haha
He showed it only on the thumb and just the method. He did not hold it for one or two minutes; only talked about it. So, what's the big deal if the video is not 5 minutes long.
One truly astounding fact, the KJV Bible has exactly 7^7 words/numbers.
The middle finger helps you control anger.

Campton Rose ha
Campton Rose lol what if I put it up
And showing it increases anger..
That's Why we show that when we are anger. 😃
True that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you get stressed out after doing this technique for 20 minutes instead of studying
LOL
I used the stopwatch on my phone to do this.. I did two minutes for anxiety and a minute each for the rest. I feel so much better and so calm thank you so much for sharing this! 💜
Only holding or stretching fingers also
Mee too ...
I’m Japanese and I’ve never heard of this lol
It's an Indian method
Idk why he said Japanese 😂
😂😂 i thought its chinese method anyways it still asian method
That means your father is from africa,,their the press something else to releaive stress
Hehehe hahahah thats so funny becuse it doesn't even work i nerly ripped all my fingers in pain

I remember this method by AFASS
Anxiety, Fear, Anger, Sadness, Self respect
That's a cool way to remember the finger

Me in pain, anxiety, fear of non recovery & stress watching this with a hand that go through a surgery for cut flexors, nerves and tendons 😒 We people don't realize how lucky and gifted we are until lose something 😔 Hopefully i can do this in future with recovered hand ..... hopefully. At least im glad for other people that seems this video is working for them and i will definitely save it for future.
If you’re feeling bored while in meditation, this could be a nice activity to do while meditating!
I am a Japanese therapist and I always start telling my clients this method. It is real! It helps to balance the levels os stress.
I think your video is quite nice. May I use it in my classes?
thank you!
BAD
Of course
@@bestcubing3856 why
Iam scared that a therapist believes this 😅
Should we hold left hand fingers or Right hand one?
And should we hold them tightly ??
This is the only way to release all stress and has been scientically proven, I cut off all my fingers except my pinkies, I no longer have anxiety, anger, fear and sadness. But I still have self respect 👌
😂
😂
🤣🤣
😅🤣
You also don't have 4 fingers now, duh.
Its very effective. When i feel like im going mad i do this😆it works more than breathing exercise for me. Im on medicines for a longtime, but with that this and meditation keep me alive.
Listening to this while reading the meditation guide "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels. Sooooo nice.
U put a wedding ring on ur ring finger and it is sadness so marriage is sadness
Robin Kwatra It's believed that you're ring finger is directly connected to your heart. "Vena Amoris" or love vein.
Random Gamer The Vena Amoris doesn't exist, it's just an old belief.
Instead of putting your opposite hand to grasp the ring finger (sadness) you Put A Ring On It 😆
Random Gamer toshay
Robin Kwatra ring finger is the finger of left heart cuz that finger has a connection to your heart.
when he said meeting friends I heard beating friends lol
LOL , then that means , you really wanna do that :P :D
You know it can help !
Princess hahaha 😂lol
That's a better idea to become happy! 😋😀
Princess that helps relieve stress.....if the' re the ones causing it LoL 💪🏼😏
But beating friends does help, honestly saying.
This is from Jin Shin Jyutsu. If you want to treat your whole body at once put your hands in a prayer position. It doesn't matter if you fold your fingers with palms together or touch both hands together palms facing each other and fingers straight out from palms. You are treating all your meridians, organs and all your body's systems. Do this as often as possible.
No wonder Japanese are what they are!For me it was not difficult to do this as I am a fan of accupunture.
It was so relaxing and the effect is long lasting ,it gives a soothing effect.Thanks for sharing this wonderful technique .Iam going to teach this to my students,so that they can remain calm even during exam days.
so, technically a classical guitarist uses all of those 5 emotions to create music. amirite?
Right!
Excellent line.
Good observation
Thats very deep and meaningful 🔥🔥
Yes
Tried this when I had difficulty falling asleep sometime last week. Simply worked wonders. I fell asleep in no time and it was a very calm and refreshing sleep. Have been doing this ever since and it’s really improved my quality of sleep. Thanks a bunch for doing this video.
Which finger did you use for sleep?
@@rl1890 i think the thumb
I totally agree with you.. thanks for this video..
I'm gonna be doing this every day for sure I'm a teenager and I have unwanted thoughts every day and that makes me very depressed so I'm for sure gonna be trying this technique thanks😊
This works like a charm... I've been following the role fingers have in energetic intentions for a while now and this opens up a new world of questions for me.
Thanks
Really True..it works.without medicine , you can get RELIEF EVERYWHERE. EXUBERANT 👍👏
this actually worked i feel so much bettet
How much better? Scale of 1-10.
I've actually been doing this since I was like 6 without knowing it was already a thing... I always held my thumb growing up and it always made me feel better
I fiddle with my thumb index and pinky fingers almost all the time and didn't know what it was till today 🥴
this technique really helped me during my presentations and exam time. i am really glad that such techniques really exists.
I just tried it on my thumb. It changed my mood. It really works
*needs hands for exercise*

thanks sinister brick you made my day
Robotic hands: I'm gonna save this man's whole career.
People with no hands :Am I a joke to u 😐😐😐😒😒😒
while doing this method i started cracking my fingers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
stop it u'll get arthiritis
Same
Hannah Luc its not proven to cause arthritis.. I've never cracked my bones and I've got juvenile arthritis
The masked Waki Shaki me tooooo!
Galaxy Kitty That's just in your case. If you were to never have gotten arthritis, but say you cracked your knuckles a lot, then that would say something. But it sounds like you've never cracked your knuckles or anything, but you have arthritis. My grandma and my uncle both have arthritis because of knuckle cracking.
This actually worked really well I have trouble falling asleep so I tried this and laid down and in 5 or so minutes I was asleep when it usually takes me hours!
Me too I fell asleep immediately after doing it
Great! I just got my mind cleared from the Brain Fog I was experiencing for many days. THIS ACTUALLY WORKS! Thanks Bright Side! And, anyone who reads this comment. I hope you have a great day!
Wow. I don't know why but it works. I've tried humming technique, tapping, relaxation music, breathing techniques for anxiety but this works quicker. Best of all no headphones or anything required, easy and convenient to do, love it. Thank you so much for this 🙏🏾❤️🤩
Thank you for the feedback.
OMG! It works! I was stressing over my exam and I did this. I calmed down right away!
The thumb and the index fingers help me before and during the exam...
The centre of the palm help me during sudden uneasiness and above all the pinky finger helps me during emotional breakdowns....The science behind them us outstanding and I really thank God for installation such mechanisms in us!
That's all from me☺
I just had one of the best experience in my life. Thank You for this, I will be doing this everyday. It works!!!!
I feel like what makes it more real just thinking that it will work makes it work even better
I pressed my fingers too hard....yes it worked, now my mind got diverted towards the pain of the finger
So it actually worked 😂😂😂😂
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅
🤣🤣🙏
It worked super! I had never heard of doing it, now it is going to be a part of my every day routine!

I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert like Mr Nicholas Burke-Gaffney, he helped me recover what I lost trying to trade for myself
Effective. I used this method for anxiety before 1 night from exams.
I don't know why but it worked! I'm kind of caught off guard because it seemed unusual but I still liked it.
Red Ericson nice!
I can see why the middle finger is "Anger"

haaaaaaaaaa
I was feeling basically hopeless for my exam next week! I'm truly thankful!
This truly works, I was stressed for my studies and I was not able to manage everything at time I was kind of dipressed coz I was unable to do as my other classmates were doing , I just searched in youtube and guess what I'm really glad that I saw this video!!!
Me while watching this: taking deep breath realising nothing would work when you are not relaxed.
To practice the technique, you must 1st color your fingers accordingly... 😂
How do I get it off I used sharpie

Meditation can help to reduce my stress. I give myself alone time (no music, quiet time) to meditate, relax, practice deep breathing, and a peaceful mind 5-10 mins every morning when I wake up. Stay Healthy! Best wishes!
My main problem with yoga is i start feeling too sleepy whenever I try to do yoga ,🤣 can you plz tell how to cope with this problem
@@shivakd7198there are many types of meditation you can try, i recommend you to try some meditations that make you focus on doing the movements
Even me as a Japanese person didn’t know that. Wow, thanks to my ancestor. I’ll try this method from now on! Thanks:D
Thanks for posting this 👍🏼✌🏼💞💞💞
Yes , this really works for me .
I close my eyes and relax , while Im holding my finger , until I feel the pulsing .
Sometimes it happens right away , other times it takes a bit longer .
Amazing how very easy this is to do .
Thanks for sharing this technique with us. This is really useful for me as I have anxiety and I get stressed easily. When I'm stressed, I get emotional. It now makes me feel a bit better that I have a method to calm myself when I do get to that stage. Thanks again.
after 3 years does it really works?..
It really works, I tested it and was relieved.
Wow thank you, it actually made me feel better over something that has been really making me stressed.
Wow, this really helps, i was in fear of my phobia means the point finger and i tried it and it worked! Thank you so much Bright Side
It’s amazing it help from school stress from test and rude people and drama
As always, another great video from Bright Side. Thank you!
Works or not, I donot know, but this still gives a ray of hope! Will definitely try. May everyone at pain right now, recover soon
Thank you. If this can take my anxiety away, I’ll reward you a big time.
Well..I felt sleepy all of a sudden!! Magic??🤔

Must be because of the video

100% works! Squeezed my severed finger collection and felt joy and peace!
Its like a mini meditation session woth each finger, I just focus on the different emotions and how I can be better
It's weird that I came across this today. I couldn't sleep last night and remembered this method from a video I saw years ago. I tried it and was fast asleep by the ring finger. I was able to get four good hours of rest finally. So I guess I can say it works at least for restlessness. Cheers!
Japanese focus completely on task at hand, honesty, integriy, hardwork is their principle s, very respectful to each other, believe in team management,
I seriously can’t explain the sensation
I feel some humming inside of me
I feel very calm now
Thank you very much
Really?
My mami was not well so I was searching to be calm it truely helps now my mami is well and I was kept calm thank u
This is so inspiring and emotional video. One of my friend had been disabled for the past 10 years of his life and when he saw this video, immediately he started walking. Thank you so much for your courage and your fighting spirit. I hope others can replicate this act of bravery.🙏
are you sure he was disabled?
@@pencilerasersharpener7774 I have the same question :D
Amazing I will do this everyday to calm myself!
Now i get it why i feel relaxed holding & squeezing each of my fingers. (I do this when i feel overwhelmed and comfort myself when I feel bad about my life)
Im actually scared for my dad to die since his 74 and the life span is 80 yrs this actually helps me i cried at night over thinking What will happen when his gone i realize i have to save money so when he die's i have enough money to feed myself and to feed my family.
What?
The world has different types of lifespans
@@digitalgamingctcc4110 yes
@@digitalgamingctcc4110 I currently dont know but the only thing ik is 80 is the life span some people passed that level

works suprisingly fine for me. Love it, especially when I cant sleep. Its easy to stay in bed, an just hug your fingers :-)
That’s lovely I was in bed discovering some methods when I came across this
Aside from the jokes. This really does help me when I have my freak outs. If I can’t listen to calming music almost nothing can help this method really works, with it I have a method that can help me when I need it it’s extremely useful.
please share with us.❤❤
I squeezed my hand so bad that my pain is now diverted... thanks a lot!👍🏻
Interesting technique to calm down the mind. I practice this since last 5 years. In addition to this I do exercise daily and take balanced diet. Obviously proper sleep is also essential. Hats off for you.
I will try this because i have troubles with social anxieties and occasional depression. Thanks bright side
Thanks BRIGHT SIDE this worked and it helped me alot!
I loved this & felt better when done! Great tip to use daily, even for mindfulness, when no time for a quick breathing exercise. Thank you🙏🏽✨
