@dailyfitnessai what is facial ice bath ?
@ethan_tole Basically a prepare a bowl of ice water, then plunge your face only into the water and hold you breath for like 20 seconds.
it is medically proven to have instant reduce in anxiety as it simulates your 'vagus nerve'.
@dailyfitnessai got it.. why not do full body ice bath that includes the face.. ?
@dailyfitnessai you should use a chest freezer or freeze ice like i do.. i have 3 10 litter boxes
that i freeze every day

@ethan_tole @dailyfitnessai I'm sorry but sounds like something Partick Bateman would do ahahahaha /lh
To manage stress, you can identify stressors, practice time management, engage in relaxation techniques, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy diet, prioritize sleep, seek social support, pursue hobbies, practice mindfulness, and consider professional help if needed. Additionally, limiting screen time and reducing stimulants like alcohol and tobacco can contribute to stress reduction. Remember that individual strategies may vary, so it's important to find what works best for you and be patient with yourself.

Taking a break from social media and walk in nature, or if the weather is too bad, doing some light reading with hot chocolate 😍
I would definitely check out the TED Talk "How to make stress your friend" by Kelly McGonigal. Turns out the worse you think stress is for you, the more negatively it impacts you. Change your mindset, change the effect.

Exercise, video games, spending time with friends and loved ones, hockey, being super fun and cool :D Hahaha no but seriously, optimism plays a big role in my day-to-day!
Accepting the fact that sometimes it's ok to be stressed out, to not feel ok, and binge on chocolate for a bit :)
I sleep well, and the next day, alone, I go for a walk in a city a little far from where I usually go!
