Face ice bath
Recommended by Mo
Basically hold your breath and dip your face in an ice water for about 30 seconds. Helps activate vagus response and triggers vasoconstriction which will reduce stress and help to cool you down (not to mention putting your face in ice will just generally cool you). can also be done by putting ice water in a zip lock bag and putting it over your face if you want less mess.

This is fantastic tool for distress tolerence, as an autistic who struggled with mental health I was put in a residential program when o was 14 that was specifically focused on DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) and learned this through the TIPP skill I whorls highly recommended poking in to the skills dbt teaches the founder (I think) Marsha Lighningham (that was not the correct spelling, I can feel it) has some books on it. It’s a really great tool based therapy that I think is really accessible because it combines a lot of other methods as well as some Buddhist teachings as well!
