00:00Hey, welcome to the change guru. This is Hey, welcome to the change guru. This is a place where we get a change. Hey, a place where we get a change. Hey, a place where we get a change. Hey, speaking of change on, I mentioned in my speaking of change on, I mentioned in my speaking of change on, I mentioned in my energy hack video a few videos back that energy hack video a few videos back that energy hack video a few videos back that I was experimenting with taking cold I was experimenting with taking cold I was experimenting with taking cold showers every day. And I recently showers every day. And I recently showers every day. And I recently finished 30 days of doing this little finished 30 days of doing this little finished 30 days of doing this little science experiment of taking cold science experiment of taking cold science experiment of taking cold showers every day. I know, insane. And showers every day. I know, insane. And showers every day. I know, insane. And for me, completely insane because I'm a for me, completely insane because I'm a for me, completely insane because I'm a person who tried to avoid feeling cold person who tried to avoid feeling cold person who tried to avoid feeling cold nearly my whole life. But I've been nearly my whole life. But I've been nearly my whole life. But I've been reading about how cold showers are so reading about how cold showers are so reading about how cold showers are so good for productivity. There's really good for productivity. There's really good for productivity. There's really awesome scientific um proof coming out awesome scientific um proof coming out awesome scientific um proof coming out that they are might even increase that they are might even increase that they are might even increase longevity, immunity. Um they're longevity, immunity. Um they're longevity, immunity. Um they're supposedly good for women that have hot supposedly good for women that have hot supposedly good for women that have hot flashes. I don't get hot flashes, so I flashes. I don't get hot flashes, so I flashes. I don't get hot flashes, so I haven't experienced this, but get hot haven't experienced this, but get hot haven't experienced this, but get hot flashes. And so there's a host of great flashes. And so there's a host of great flashes. And so there's a host of great um evidence coming out how good cold um evidence coming out how good cold um evidence coming out how good cold showers are for you. So I got a little
01:00showers are for you. So I got a little showers are for you. So I got a little bit hooked in. I really wanted to try it bit hooked in. I really wanted to try it bit hooked in. I really wanted to try it for myself. Um one thing that I do is I for myself. Um one thing that I do is I for myself. Um one thing that I do is I kind of hop into the shower when it's a kind of hop into the shower when it's a kind of hop into the shower when it's a little bit warm still because the idea little bit warm still because the idea little bit warm still because the idea of going in cold turkey into a cold of going in cold turkey into a cold of going in cold turkey into a cold shower is a little bit too radical for shower is a little bit too radical for shower is a little bit too radical for me. And also I started this experiment me. And also I started this experiment me. And also I started this experiment right in the heart of Australia's right in the heart of Australia's right in the heart of Australia's winter. So, when it gets to summer here, winter. So, when it gets to summer here, winter. So, when it gets to summer here, then I'm going to go for it full on cold then I'm going to go for it full on cold then I'm going to go for it full on cold shower time. But in the meantime, I just shower time. But in the meantime, I just shower time. But in the meantime, I just get a little bit warm to get myself in get a little bit warm to get myself in get a little bit warm to get myself in there and then I pull it off, put on the there and then I pull it off, put on the there and then I pull it off, put on the cold water, full blast. Anyways, I made cold water, full blast. Anyways, I made cold water, full blast. Anyways, I made a quick video of me in the shower um a quick video of me in the shower um a quick video of me in the shower um doing my cold shower. Um, no nipples are doing my cold shower. Um, no nipples are doing my cold shower. Um, no nipples are shown um during this, so it's all shown um during this, so it's all shown um during this, so it's all G-rated, but trust me, you wouldn't want G-rated, but trust me, you wouldn't want G-rated, but trust me, you wouldn't want to see the nipples during the cold water to see the nipples during the cold water to see the nipples during the cold water experiment anyways. You know what I experiment anyways. You know what I experiment anyways. You know what I mean? All right, have a look at the mean? All right, have a look at the mean? All right, have a look at the video. Okay. And let's um go for the video. Okay. And let's um go for the video. Okay. And let's um go for the cold glass. [Music]
02:00Yep. I'm getting pretty used to it right now. I'm getting pretty used to it right now. It's day 30 for me. Um, so it's not It's day 30 for me. Um, so it's not It's day 30 for me. Um, so it's not terrible. Oh, at first it would take my breath away at first it would take my breath away completely doing it. Oh, I like to stay in here until like um Oh, I like to stay in here until like um I almost get like a cold ice cream head. I almost get like a cold ice cream head. I almost get like a cold ice cream head. You know that feeling when you eat ice You know that feeling when you eat ice You know that feeling when you eat ice cream really fast and your head gets cream really fast and your head gets cream really fast and your head gets frozen cold? I I like that kind of frozen cold? I I like that kind of frozen cold? I I like that kind of feeling. I'm getting used to it now.
03:00[Music] And I just um I just try to breathe And I just um I just try to breathe And I just um I just try to breathe really deep really deep really deep just like meditative just like meditative just like meditative deep breathing while I'm doing it. deep breathing while I'm doing it. deep breathing while I'm doing it. Just it gives me something to focus on Just it gives me something to focus on Just it gives me something to focus on for one thing. And um that way I can for one thing. And um that way I can for one thing. And um that way I can kind of count the amount of time that kind of count the amount of time that kind of count the amount of time that I'm in here as well. Okay, one more blast on the bath. Glad I did that. So, the results for me Glad I did that. So, the results for me with the cold shower experiment, uh, with the cold shower experiment, uh, with the cold shower experiment, uh, productivity, does it help? I think it productivity, does it help? I think it productivity, does it help? I think it absolutely does. Otherwise, it's a big absolutely does. Otherwise, it's a big absolutely does. Otherwise, it's a big coincidence. And and truth be told, I coincidence. And and truth be told, I coincidence. And and truth be told, I have been doing a lot of things to
04:00have been doing a lot of things to have been doing a lot of things to really support my energy levels. So, really support my energy levels. So, really support my energy levels. So, it's really hard to identify one it's really hard to identify one it's really hard to identify one particular thing, but all I know is particular thing, but all I know is particular thing, but all I know is during this time that I've been doing during this time that I've been doing during this time that I've been doing the cold water challenge, I have really the cold water challenge, I have really the cold water challenge, I have really increased my productivity uh increased my productivity uh increased my productivity uh substantially. I mean, it's really substantially. I mean, it's really substantially. I mean, it's really noticeable. I also noticed that when you noticeable. I also noticed that when you noticeable. I also noticed that when you do it and you get out of the shower, you do it and you get out of the shower, you do it and you get out of the shower, you feel fantastic. And that feeling goes, I feel fantastic. And that feeling goes, I feel fantastic. And that feeling goes, I really felt that feeling of it. really felt that feeling of it. really felt that feeling of it. literally feeling that feeling of it in literally feeling that feeling of it in literally feeling that feeling of it in my body for like 3 or 4 hours after. my body for like 3 or 4 hours after. my body for like 3 or 4 hours after. It's incredible. You do get used to it It's incredible. You do get used to it It's incredible. You do get used to it after a while. I'd say by day 10, at after a while. I'd say by day 10, at after a while. I'd say by day 10, at first would absolutely take my breath first would absolutely take my breath first would absolutely take my breath away and then by day 10 you start away and then by day 10 you start away and then by day 10 you start getting used to it and now I can kind of getting used to it and now I can kind of getting used to it and now I can kind of be in there longer than a minute or two be in there longer than a minute or two be in there longer than a minute or two minutes if if I have to if I force minutes if if I have to if I force minutes if if I have to if I force myself to do it. But the one really myself to do it. But the one really myself to do it. But the one really super interesting thing that I've gotten super interesting thing that I've gotten super interesting thing that I've gotten out of the experience is that it out of the experience is that it out of the experience is that it reminded me that I can handle reminded me that I can handle reminded me that I can handle discomfort. discomfort. discomfort. It really helped me kind of get me give It really helped me kind of get me give It really helped me kind of get me give me the feeling of being able to push
05:00me the feeling of being able to push me the feeling of being able to push through discomfort. So, if you're going through discomfort. So, if you're going through discomfort. So, if you're going through a time in your life where you through a time in your life where you through a time in your life where you kind of need to get out of your comfort kind of need to get out of your comfort kind of need to get out of your comfort zone, I think this could be an very zone, I think this could be an very zone, I think this could be an very interesting experiment for you because interesting experiment for you because interesting experiment for you because you kind of feel like if you can do you kind of feel like if you can do you kind of feel like if you can do this, then you can do anything. And I this, then you can do anything. And I this, then you can do anything. And I really, this last month, I've had to do really, this last month, I've had to do really, this last month, I've had to do a lot of things that are kind of a lot of things that are kind of a lot of things that are kind of psychologically uncomfortable, do things psychologically uncomfortable, do things psychologically uncomfortable, do things that really push me out of my usual that really push me out of my usual that really push me out of my usual comfort zone. And so, this was a really comfort zone. And so, this was a really comfort zone. And so, this was a really nice kind of parallel experience I was nice kind of parallel experience I was nice kind of parallel experience I was going through. And I really like that going through. And I really like that going through. And I really like that that maybe there was some type of that maybe there was some type of that maybe there was some type of connection that really helped spur me on connection that really helped spur me on connection that really helped spur me on and pushed me into um new areas that I and pushed me into um new areas that I and pushed me into um new areas that I hadn't been before. Maybe it gave me a hadn't been before. Maybe it gave me a hadn't been before. Maybe it gave me a little bit of liquid courage. I don't little bit of liquid courage. I don't little bit of liquid courage. I don't know. So anyways, that is my little know. So anyways, that is my little know. So anyways, that is my little science experiment. I would love to know science experiment. I would love to know science experiment. I would love to know if this is a challenge that you would if this is a challenge that you would if this is a challenge that you would like to take on or are you already a fan like to take on or are you already a fan like to take on or are you already a fan of cold showers?
