Other times we catch ourselves before we get to 100 but still need a calm down activity that snaps us out of it Sometimes it really is something so simple and seemingly small that does the trick or at least gets us turned in the right direction.

Getting extra oxygen that is cleaner and more pure is always a benefit, but more so in times of stress. It reduces levels of our stress hormone, cortisol and helps regulate our levels of serotonin and promote happiness and well being.

This can be as short as a few minutes. The chill from the water signals to your brain to release endorphins, the feel good hormone and it also helps with calming thanks to the cool water’s effects on circulation and hormones If not available, try just taking cold water to your face. This has a similar effect.
