fiddle bracelet for coping with overthinking that guides eventual positive behavioural changes
“I ponder about what could or could have been...How might I alleviate overthinking before and after an interaction”
Overthinking often occurs unexpectedly, hence, the wearable nature of the Forget-Me-Not bracelet is accessible and convenient. The silicon petals are folded back and forth whilst one thinks. However, their thoughts are disrupted once they reach a black glitter-textured bead, which acts as a tactile notification to change the user’s train of thought, preventing the cyclical and toxic abyss of overthinking.
User testing found that the matte silicon offered a satisfying tactile sensation that was pleasant to fiddle with the unique form of the petals providing a playful bounce when folded. Over time, users found the interaction became a pleasant, meditative practice.
