It takes practice. It didn't work instantly for me either. Once my body got used to that as a cue to calm down it started to work.
I also have in mine...
A small pencil and some paper to write thoughts.
a prn for emergency shut downs when the box just isn't doing enough.
Emergency contact numbers, like the help line.
But... I've had a box for 7 yrs now. I think it can work. Sometimes it needs tweeking or adding to.
My box fits in one hand so I can take it with me.
