Ard Al-eab is the model to help people calm themselves. This model had a manual and required creative assembly. This model replaces their ineffective coping mechanism with a positive one, resulting from improvements in their financial and psychosocial well-being. This model is a bridge between engineering and psychology. The methodology uses using Bernoulli principle, Torcelli's law, and the grounding technique with the five senses. Eventually, the feedback has not been established yet, but this model can reduce plastic footprint by 83.5kg per year. The model needs to be improved with the establishment of quantitative and qualitative data of the user.
