Article: Clean the sink thoroughly first. Then stop up the sink drain. Fill the sink basin with tap water and add several ice cubes. There should be more water than ice in the sink or bowl.  If you prefer, you can use a large bowl such as a punch bowl wherein you can fully submerge your face. Add some slices of and cucumber or chunks of watermelon if desired. Hold your breath and dip your face into the ice water for ten to thirty seconds. Do this several times, with a few seconds to a few minutes in between.  The feeling of this process is intense, and has a temporary side effect of discomfort or pain due to the sudden temperature change. If it doesn’t feel at all intense, you may want to add a bit more ice. Other than temporary discomfort, icing your face shouldn’t cause any negative side effects, as some skin products can.  Don’t do this for longer than fifteen minutes. After facial skin icing, apply skin products if desired. For instance, moisturizer, toner or acne treatment (if needed). If your skin tends to get dry, go with a moisturizer. If your skin is on the oily side, use toner, an astringent which removes the film of oil leftover from cleansers. Saturate cotton pads with skin product and apply it to your face and neck.

Fear can make you feel out of touch with the here and now. Ground yourself in the present by reconnecting with your 5 senses. Look around you and find 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste. Reach out to your loved ones when you are afraid. Talk to them about what you are thinking or feeling. Ask them to help distract you from your fear. Or, make a practical request. You might say something like, “I'm afraid to sleep here alone. Will you stay with me?” Use a positive affirmation to empower yourself when fear happens. You might repeat statements like, “You're perfectly safe at home” or “This, too, shall pass” to remind yourself you can get through anything. If you're afraid of something like asking someone out on a date or speaking in front of a crowd, embolden yourself by saying, “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” Fear can cloud your perspective and make you feel like there's nothing but negativity in your life. Override that by purposely seeking out the good. When you feel fearful, try to identify whatever's going right. For instance, if you feel afraid of public speaking, you might list “good” things like, “I'm dressed well. I prepared all last night for this. My friends are in the audience, so I can look to them for courage.” Go outdoors and get some fresh air to help you calm down when you are afraid. Take your dog for a walk, plan a hike with friends, or take a book to a nearby lake.
