?? Feeling on fire emotionally? Cool down—literally. When your stress is in the red zone (overwhelming emotions, intense cravings, or panic), you need a quick reset. Enter: Cold Water Coping. ???? Here’s how: 1?? Splash cold water on your face—think ice-cold tap water. 2?? Hold an ice pack, frozen veggies, or ice cubes on your cheeks, under your eyes, or in your hands. 3?? Immerse your face in a bowl of cold water for 30 seconds (if it’s safe for you to do so). ?? Why it works: Cold water triggers the "dive reflex" (a survival response), slowing your heart rate and calming your body down FAST. ?? Pro tip: Keep something cold handy—water bottles, ice packs, or freezer veggies—for when you need relief right now. ?? Have you tried Cold Water Coping before?
