Relieve Stress Immediately with Ice

You don't have time for yoga or tea. That's BS, and it's not immediately. You don't have two minutes, but you have about thirty seconds. If you wanted to relieve stress IMMEDIATELY than you've come to the right place. This article is here to introduce you to the "Ice Blind Confusion Maneuver".

Steps

 * 1) Get a smallish ice cube. The ice cube should be small enough that it fits only in the cave in the roof of your mouth. Don't let it touch the sides of your mouth. It should be only touching your tongue, and it should be big enough that when you press it against the roof of your mouth it feels like it's burning. Remember that now.[[Image:Relieve Stress Immediately with Ice Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2) Put the ice cube in your mouth and hold it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue. That's the 'Ice' part.[[Image:Relieve Stress Immediately with Ice Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 3) Cover your eyes. That's the 'Blind' part.[[Image:Relieve Stress Immediately with Ice Step 3.jpg|center]]
 * 4) Inhale deeply, then try to exhale for as long as you can, really slow. You should feel a bit faint, but not too much[[Image:Relieve Stress Immediately with Ice Step 4.jpg|center]]
 * 5) When you open your eyes, you should feel a bit dazed. The roof of your mouth should be numb and the tension in your muscles should be decreased greatly. You should be confused and relaxed just enough to carry on with your decisions. How does this make sense? It just does.[[Image:Relieve Stress Immediately with Ice Step 5.jpg|center]]

Tips

 * If you have blurry vision immediately after, that just means it's working. Rub your eyes or blink.
 * If you have extra time, rub an ice cube on the major muscles of your face, your sinuses, and anywhere else that seems like it has tension.
 * If you don't have an ice cube, just use the last two steps.

Warnings

 * Be gentle with your eyes.
 * Any injury pertaining to this exercise is not anyone's fault. Use at your own risk.
 * Don't do anything stupid.
 * Don't hold your breath so long you faint.
 * Don't choke on the ice cube!
 * Don't use this exercise if you feel insecure about it. Follow your gut.
