Sour candy
Sour candy is super helpful for regulating your nervous system!
I like the spray because it's easy to keep in your bag and it's long lasting, extremely helpful when you are anxious!

Another sour candy, these ones are useful since they are pre-wrapped. Also a lot of flavors!

Cold temperatures
Similarly to sour candy, using cold temperatures can help to regulate your nervous system!
Using cold things is another way to shock your nervous system and reduce anxiety. These are patches you can place anywhere and they are very small, so you can easily put a few in your bag!
