NYC can be fun, but it can also be very stressful (obvious statement).
The sirens, the hot weather, the smells, the crowds, the non-stop and the go-lifestyle can get to you.
Now, savvy New Yorkers are carrying around ‘panic pouches.’
According to the Wall Street Journal, these pouches act as ’emotional first-aid kits’ that are stocked with items meant to ease acute anxiety. Anything from worry or dread to a racing heart and upset stomach.
Here are some ideas for what to pack in your ‘panic pouch.’
- Sour (or another strong flavor) gum or candy
- Photographs of favorite places or people
- Fidget spinners or other fidget toys
- A small fan
- Stress balls or squishy toys
- Lotion or oil with a soothing scent
- Medications
