Learn effective exercises to reduce anxiety quickly using ice as therapist Christa McCrorie guides you through techniques using ice or cold exposure to stimulate the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulating our body's response to stress, and these simple cold exposure exercises like using ice packs or taking cold showers can help trigger the "diving response," slowing your heart rate and calming your nervous system. These techniques are particularly beneficial for those dealing with anxiety, offering immediate relief by tapping into your body’s natural instincts.

While these exercises may not be suitable for everyone, especially individuals with nervous system or blood pressure issues, they offer a promising method for many—including disabled individuals who may struggle with other forms of anxiety management. Cold exposure can provide a quick, accessible way to manage stress without requiring complex physical activity. If these methods aren't a fit for you, stay tuned for more videos featuring alternative approaches to calming the body and mind.
