💦 Feeling anxious, nervous or overwhelmed? Try cold water.

Splashing cold water on your face can trigger what’s known as the diving reflex — a natural response involving the nervous system that may help slow the heart rate and create a moment of calm when your body is in high alert.

Focus the cool water around your forehead, eyes and nose, then give yourself a few moments to breathe.

Simple. Free. And something you can remember when stress or anxiety suddenly feels BIG. 💙

Have you ever tried this?
