01:00challenging yourself and going out of challenging yourself and going out of your comfort zone and strengthening your your comfort zone and strengthening your your comfort zone and strengthening your mind so when I really decided whether or mind so when I really decided whether or mind so when I really decided whether or not wanted to do this 30-day kind of not wanted to do this 30-day kind of not wanted to do this 30-day kind of cold shower challenge I just I knew I cold shower challenge I just I knew I cold shower challenge I just I knew I had to do it because I hate the cold had to do it because I hate the cold had to do it because I hate the cold and I figured if I can do this then I and I figured if I can do this then I and I figured if I can do this then I can really cast my mind to have even a can really cast my mind to have even a can really cast my mind to have even a greater willpower to do anything else greater willpower to do anything else greater willpower to do anything else and I figured if it gives me even half and I figured if it gives me even half and I figured if it gives me even half the benefit that I see that is giving the benefit that I see that is giving the benefit that I see that is giving other people online then it would be other people online then it would be other people online then it would be worth the risk not really rich but it'd worth the risk not really rich but it'd worth the risk not really rich but it'd be worth the effort so if you're looking be worth the effort so if you're looking be worth the effort so if you're looking online you'll see that there's a lot of online you'll see that there's a lot of online you'll see that there's a lot of benefits that they claim can come from benefits that they claim can come from benefits that they claim can come from taking cold showers so I want to go over taking cold showers so I want to go over taking cold showers so I want to go over some of the things you can expect if you some of the things you can expect if you some of the things you can expect if you take cold showers and compare it with take cold showers and compare it with take cold showers and compare it with some of the myths that come from taking some of the myths that come from taking some of the myths that come from taking cold showers the first thing that you'll cold showers the first thing that you'll cold showers the first thing that you'll see is that you'll become aware you see is that you'll become aware you see is that you'll become aware you become energized you become very become energized you become very become energized you become very container genic so people say that container genic so people say that container genic so people say that online a lot that's the benefit and I online a lot that's the benefit and I online a lot that's the benefit and I agree it is a benefit now I don't agree it is a benefit now I don't agree it is a benefit now I don't particularly think that the being particularly think that the being particularly think that the being energized in alert fulness or energized in alert fulness or energized in alert fulness or wakefulness come from the cold shower I wakefulness come from the cold shower I wakefulness come from the cold shower I think when you take the cold shower it think when you take the cold shower it think when you take the cold shower it forces you to do a lot of heavy and deep
02:00forces you to do a lot of heavy and deep forces you to do a lot of heavy and deep breathing and heavy in deep breathing is breathing and heavy in deep breathing is breathing and heavy in deep breathing is what oxygenates your cells which what oxygenates your cells which what oxygenates your cells which actually makes you feel energized it actually makes you feel energized it actually makes you feel energized it wakes you up cuz even before I stopped wakes you up cuz even before I stopped wakes you up cuz even before I stopped taking the cold showers when I wake up I taking the cold showers when I wake up I taking the cold showers when I wake up I have a certain breathing have a certain breathing have a certain breathing Rutina go through now if you want to Rutina go through now if you want to Rutina go through now if you want to know about that i'll create a video on know about that i'll create a video on know about that i'll create a video on that leave a comment below and that that leave a comment below and that that leave a comment below and that energizes me that wakes me up so I don't energizes me that wakes me up so I don't energizes me that wakes me up so I don't think the cool does it but I think the think the cool does it but I think the think the cool does it but I think the call leads you to breathing which call leads you to breathing which call leads you to breathing which actually have that benefit of of actually have that benefit of of actually have that benefit of of energizing you and waking you up now energizing you and waking you up now energizing you and waking you up now another benefit they say you can expect another benefit they say you can expect another benefit they say you can expect that I totally agree with is that cold that I totally agree with is that cold that I totally agree with is that cold showers can help you increase and showers can help you increase and showers can help you increase and strengthen your willpower absolutely strengthen your willpower absolutely strengthen your willpower absolutely true as soon as you turn the knob as true as soon as you turn the knob as true as soon as you turn the knob as soon as you turn the knob you see the soon as you turn the knob you see the soon as you turn the knob you see the water going down and you know it's cold water going down and you know it's cold water going down and you know it's cold your body has like a reaction because your body has like a reaction because your body has like a reaction because your body's telling you don't do it like your body's telling you don't do it like your body's telling you don't do it like it's not safe and then once you go in it's not safe and then once you go in it's not safe and then once you go in there your body screaming at you to get there your body screaming at you to get there your body screaming at you to get out and so you have to go against your out and so you have to go against your out and so you have to go against your natural instincts to remain there to natural instincts to remain there to natural instincts to remain there to control your breathing gotta breathe control your breathing gotta breathe control your breathing gotta breathe by doing that day after day after day
03:00by doing that day after day after day by doing that day after day after day you find yourself becoming stronger and you find yourself becoming stronger and you find yourself becoming stronger and stronger towards doing the thing that stronger towards doing the thing that stronger towards doing the thing that you know you don't inherently want to do you know you don't inherently want to do you know you don't inherently want to do it's kind of like I'll find a water fast it's kind of like I'll find a water fast it's kind of like I'll find a water fast I did a few months back I'll put a link I did a few months back I'll put a link I did a few months back I'll put a link to it right right here I'll put a link to it right right here I'll put a link to it right right here I'll put a link right here for five days I was eating no right here for five days I was eating no right here for five days I was eating no food only drinking water for five days food only drinking water for five days food only drinking water for five days and both of these things really improve and both of these things really improve and both of these things really improve your willpower now as time goes on you your willpower now as time goes on you your willpower now as time goes on you find yourself being able to do things find yourself being able to do things find yourself being able to do things way quicker then you used to be able to way quicker then you used to be able to way quicker then you used to be able to do it right usually when you have do it right usually when you have do it right usually when you have something you know you need to do you'll something you know you need to do you'll something you know you need to do you'll you'll procrastinate you'll procrastinate you'll procrastinate you'll second-guess yourself or you'll you'll second-guess yourself or you'll you'll second-guess yourself or you'll find something else that you need to do find something else that you need to do find something else that you need to do on your to-do list and you do that first on your to-do list and you do that first on your to-do list and you do that first and you'll constantly be avoiding the and you'll constantly be avoiding the and you'll constantly be avoiding the main thing that you want to do that you main thing that you want to do that you main thing that you want to do that you feel uncomfortable doing you know what I feel uncomfortable doing you know what I feel uncomfortable doing you know what I mean now another major benefit of taking mean now another major benefit of taking mean now another major benefit of taking cold showers is the benefits to your cold showers is the benefits to your cold showers is the benefits to your skin for me I've always been the type of skin for me I've always been the type of skin for me I've always been the type of guy to take hot showers I get in there guy to take hot showers I get in there guy to take hot showers I get in there put it hot my body jumps adjust to the put it hot my body jumps adjust to the put it hot my body jumps adjust to the temperature I've put it even hotter and temperature I've put it even hotter and temperature I've put it even hotter and it feels good but then when you get out it feels good but then when you get out it feels good but then when you get out what happened well for me my skin is what happened well for me my skin is what happened well for me my skin is already turned red but even worse is already turned red but even worse is already turned red but even worse is that my skin is super dry instead of
04:00that my skin is super dry instead of that my skin is super dry instead of having like a smooth soft feeling having like a smooth soft feeling having like a smooth soft feeling there's external amount of friction when there's external amount of friction when there's external amount of friction when you come out your skin feels soft you come out your skin feels soft you come out your skin feels soft somewhat dry it out and it's the way the somewhat dry it out and it's the way the somewhat dry it out and it's the way the sensation on the outside of your skin I sensation on the outside of your skin I sensation on the outside of your skin I can't even explain you just gotta he's can't even explain you just gotta he's can't even explain you just gotta he's gonna do he's gonna take the cold shower gonna do he's gonna take the cold shower gonna do he's gonna take the cold shower and experience it for yourself now and experience it for yourself now and experience it for yourself now another common benefit of taking cold another common benefit of taking cold another common benefit of taking cold showers its thicker and softer hair now showers its thicker and softer hair now showers its thicker and softer hair now for some reason I didn't notice a for some reason I didn't notice a for some reason I didn't notice a difference at least it does here I don't difference at least it does here I don't difference at least it does here I don't know what here but here totally soft but know what here but here totally soft but know what here but here totally soft but it makes sense that you would if you it makes sense that you would if you it makes sense that you would if you took a cold shower right because the hot took a cold shower right because the hot took a cold shower right because the hot water strips your hair of oil just like water strips your hair of oil just like water strips your hair of oil just like your skin so if you take cold showers it your skin so if you take cold showers it your skin so if you take cold showers it wouldn't do that now another benefit wouldn't do that now another benefit wouldn't do that now another benefit people claim that comes from cold people claim that comes from cold people claim that comes from cold showers is weight loss like you burn fat showers is weight loss like you burn fat showers is weight loss like you burn fat because you're burning more calories because you're burning more calories because you're burning more calories whether that's true or not you're not whether that's true or not you're not whether that's true or not you're not gonna burn enough calories to see a gonna burn enough calories to see a gonna burn enough calories to see a difference of weight so if you're taking difference of weight so if you're taking difference of weight so if you're taking cold showers thinking you're gonna see a cold showers thinking you're gonna see a cold showers thinking you're gonna see a difference in your body you offer a difference in your body you offer a difference in your body you offer a disappointment now I understand that the disappointment now I understand that the disappointment now I understand that the thought process is that when you taking thought process is that when you taking thought process is that when you taking cold showers your body is working harder cold showers your body is working harder cold showers your body is working harder to maintain a certain core temperature to maintain a certain core temperature to maintain a certain core temperature so it's bringing more calories that's so it's bringing more calories that's so it's bringing more calories that's probably true but if you're burning like
05:00probably true but if you're burning like probably true but if you're burning like 10 extra calories over a 10 minute 10 extra calories over a 10 minute 10 extra calories over a 10 minute shower that's not a reason to take cold shower that's not a reason to take cold shower that's not a reason to take cold showers so let's let's scratch that up showers so let's let's scratch that up showers so let's let's scratch that up and now another thing it's certainly not and now another thing it's certainly not and now another thing it's certainly not a benefit but if your a benefit but if your a benefit but if your expect some shrinkage short-term but expect some shrinkage short-term but expect some shrinkage short-term but expect it and watch out for that and now expect it and watch out for that and now expect it and watch out for that and now a very available benefit that I got from a very available benefit that I got from a very available benefit that I got from taking cold showers now I didn't really taking cold showers now I didn't really taking cold showers now I didn't really read a book online it's learning how to read a book online it's learning how to read a book online it's learning how to control your breathing breathing through control your breathing breathing through control your breathing breathing through the chaos so what I mean is we need to the chaos so what I mean is we need to the chaos so what I mean is we need to call it showers and you've probably call it showers and you've probably call it showers and you've probably experienced this you set the experienced this you set the experienced this you set the hyperventilate so you start taking very hyperventilate so you start taking very hyperventilate so you start taking very small short shallow quick breaths well small short shallow quick breaths well small short shallow quick breaths well when you learn to breathe through the when you learn to breathe through the when you learn to breathe through the cold you learn how to take intentional cold you learn how to take intentional cold you learn how to take intentional breaths so what I do is intentional breaths so what I do is intentional breaths so what I do is intentional breath in deep breath now not only does breath in deep breath now not only does breath in deep breath now not only does that prevent you from getting the that prevent you from getting the that prevent you from getting the anxiety and stress that comes from anxiety and stress that comes from anxiety and stress that comes from taking cold showers or getting out of taking cold showers or getting out of taking cold showers or getting out of your element but it actually helps you your element but it actually helps you your element but it actually helps you regulate your body temperature so regulate your body temperature so regulate your body temperature so initially you'll be really cold but when initially you'll be really cold but when initially you'll be really cold but when you take those deep controlled breaths you take those deep controlled breaths you take those deep controlled breaths you start to warm up and in a weird way you start to warm up and in a weird way you start to warm up and in a weird way after you've been in there for a couple after you've been in there for a couple after you've been in there for a couple minutes minutes minutes you actually feel warm the cold isn't
06:00you actually feel warm the cold isn't you actually feel warm the cold isn't registering in your body so a major registering in your body so a major registering in your body so a major benefit is taking control of breath and benefit is taking control of breath and benefit is taking control of breath and that applies to everything in life when that applies to everything in life when that applies to everything in life when you're stressed out when your days not you're stressed out when your days not you're stressed out when your days not going so well when you're mad breathing going so well when you're mad breathing going so well when you're mad breathing controls your state of mind in your controls your state of mind in your controls your state of mind in your state of being so a major benefit of state of being so a major benefit of state of being so a major benefit of taking the cold shower and along with taking the cold shower and along with taking the cold shower and along with the other benefit a huge benefit with the other benefit a huge benefit with the other benefit a huge benefit with cold showers is reducing stress and cold showers is reducing stress and cold showers is reducing stress and becoming present it's kind of like yoga becoming present it's kind of like yoga becoming present it's kind of like yoga where you do yoga because you want to be where you do yoga because you want to be where you do yoga because you want to be present you want to keep your mind in present you want to keep your mind in present you want to keep your mind in the now the here and now you don't be the now the here and now you don't be the now the here and now you don't be thinking about the past or having thinking about the past or having thinking about the past or having anxiety about the future well when anxiety about the future well when anxiety about the future well when you're in the cold shower you literally you're in the cold shower you literally you're in the cold shower you literally can't think about anything else is going can't think about anything else is going can't think about anything else is going on I don't care how bad your day has on I don't care how bad your day has on I don't care how bad your day has been when you take a cold shower your been when you take a cold shower your been when you take a cold shower your mind is not thinking about what happened mind is not thinking about what happened mind is not thinking about what happened the past in the future doesn't exist all the past in the future doesn't exist all the past in the future doesn't exist all that matters is right there and now so that matters is right there and now so that matters is right there and now so when you take a cold shower you're kind when you take a cold shower you're kind when you take a cold shower you're kind of isolates you in that moment it makes of isolates you in that moment it makes of isolates you in that moment it makes you very present which is the opposite you very present which is the opposite you very present which is the opposite of what I'm used to because usually I of what I'm used to because usually I of what I'm used to because usually I take long hot showers because it allows take long hot showers because it allows take long hot showers because it allows me to reflect I'm always thinking about me to reflect I'm always thinking about me to reflect I'm always thinking about the past in the future or my goals and the past in the future or my goals and the past in the future or my goals and what I want to do take note of that a what I want to do take note of that a what I want to do take note of that a hot shower allows you to reflect a cold
