Impact
I can only hope Good Vibes Color Therapy Glasses will be as helpful as they were for me. I started Good Vibes Eyewear as a 20 year old, who went through lockdown in high school from the pandemic. Anxiety from one minute to the next, so much uncertainty, and the Depression from isolation, not being able to interact with my friends was rough. Then right after high school, at 17 years young, I made a decision to go to the United States Army to serve my country. My Grandpa is a Korean War Veteran and has a Purple Heart, so I felt the pressure of thinking I had big shoes to fill. Right after Army Boot Camp and AIT, I was honorably discharged. Life felt tough and I started feeling the pain of anxiety and depression. One day my mom gave me a pair of ugly, large unattractive ChromoTherapy glasses, they worked but were uncool. When I complained, she challenged me to “come up with something better” and I did! After lots of study and research, I worked hard to find manufacturing for a sustainable, recycled product with the money that I used from my saved military pay. Last April I started Good Vibes Mood Boosting ColorTherapy Glasses that look trendy and anyone can wear anytime, to protect our mental health… with no shade! We have been part of a pilot in 4 school districts, across 24 classrooms schools and found 79% of the students wear Good Vibes daily without any prompts from the teachers. The kids LOVE wearing and benefit from Good Vibes, now we can celebrate a 92% effectiveness rate. Teachers are wanting more colors in their classrooms. Last year 77% of students experienced anxiety or depression. 35% Anxiety and 27% Depression.
Stress places a high demand on your brain or physical body. Anxiety is a reaction to stress and response to daily pressures or a threatening situation. Depression is common. We all feel sad sometimes, it’s normal, especially when bad things happen to or around us. Depression can affect just about everything in your life. We are giving everyone an opportunity to Check their vibe, and wear the vibe. Get the help they need because We know Anxiety and Depression is very real, so let's remove the stigma.
