Did you know that certain tastes can stop anxiety? That's why I always put something sour in my panic pack. If you're feeling really anxious, or if you're having a panic attack, or maybe you're just feeling kind of blah and tired and uninspired, find a sour candy. Something that you could suck on that will kind of activate your brain awareness to that part of your body. It can distract your thoughts, it can ground you and set. Sour in particular can activate the vagus nerve to make you feel more calm. So when in doubt, eat a sour candy.
