How to make yourself feel better with just one quick trick?

Are you having a bad day today?

We encounter many good and bad news everyday, while it may seem weird, the water-splashing technique is a reliable trick when you need to make yourself feel better when you face bad news. It’s called the mammalian diving response. You don't need to go to the pool or lake just to splash your face like in the movies or dramas to feel better though. You just need to fill with your average bathroom sink and you will feel better. Lady, don't forget to reapply your makeup after.

Why splashing your face with cold water make you feel better?

According to expert Liz Kelly LICSW:

"Kelly explains that the diving reflex is the body’s physiological response to submersion in cold water. “When people experience the diving reflex, their parasympathetic nervous system, the body’s ‘rest and digest’ mode, is triggered,” she says.“Your heart rate slows and you feel calmer.” It’s the body’s attempt to make sure you survive being underwater by conserving oxygen and slowing your heartbeat. It also makes the vessels on your skin constrict, driving blood to your internal organs. Once your nervous system slows, Kelly says, you’re no longer in “fight or flight” mode, and can look at your situation from a more relaxed perspective. It’s a good way to calm yourself down in a pinch."
