Bizarre hacks for anxiety …that actually work
Almost every day someone will ask me for a quick way to help deal with anxiety. There are lots of different little “tricks” that can help when you feel anxious or stressed.
These are all great for dealing with anxiety in the moment and this one is a great way of bringing you back into the present moment and feeling grounded.
I know it’s not always possible to do but if you are at home or out in a bar/restaurant when anxiety kicks in then this is a good little tip.
The next time you feel anxious grab some ice cubes and just hold them, try to hold for as long as possible without it being too uncomfortable.
It stimulates your Vagus Nerve so putting you into “rest & digest” instead of “fight or flight”, it ca help slow down your heart rate and reduce your blood flow as well as bringing you to the present moment and helping you to feel grounded.
If you feel you need help dealing with anxiety the please tech out to find how I can help you.
