I’ve used the progressive muscle tensing/releasing for years. It works—-😃That’s why I use it. The ice part is new to me, so can go in my “ok-it’s-time-to-relax” bag!
Barbara wrote what I would have written here as far as the “second P” is concerned. I start with my toes and work my way up my body, generally stopping around the stomach area, as I’m calm(er) by then. As far as the T/ice is concerned, is that the same principle as the ice bath your retired cop uncle is doing daily and feeling major benefits of the practice?

I also use Amy Carmichael’s saying:
“If you want to live life free,
Take your time, go slowly,
Do a few things, but do them well.
Simply joys are holy.”
I'll need to find this song! Love it.
