In this episode, I talk about the Ice Cube Method. This method is simple, quick, free, and effective. It can be done almost anywhere and any time and requires virtually no supplies. All you need is an ice cube, cold water, a cold shower, a cold wash cloth, fresh air, or fan. This technique can help your body and mind go from overloaded and overwhelmed to back in the present moment and ready to evaluate your emotions. This technique can help people who suffer from panic attacks, PTSD flashbacks, stress, anxiety, and more. 

I have personally used this technique for almost a decade and it is something I will always carry with me. While I can't say it will work for everyone, I can say it's always worth a shot to try. What do you have to lose?

This Mini Series is based on my article, "10 Ways to Instantly Reduce Stress and Anxiety" https://empathyisbadass.com/10waystoinstantlyreducestressandanxiety 

*trigger warning* there is mention of self harm in the video, but it does not go into great detail. There is an in-episode warning before the topic is discussed.
