gather and reflect
on the day’s gathering.

Anxiety can make almost any promise of relief feel worth looking into. When stress sits in your chest, your thoughts race, or your body feels stuck on high alert, it makes sense to wonder whether something intense and physical might interrupt that cycle. Some people become curious about ice baths for anxiety because cold exposure is often described as energizing, mood-shifting, or mentally clarifying. That interest is understandable. Still, the research is not strong enough to say
