I hold strong to my mission, and I believe in its power, but I’m not dogmatic about it. I’m no puritan. On the contrary, I believe that you should live life as you feel. Intuition and gut feelings have been repressed by dogma and doctrine for too long.
Take a proactive approach to coping with stress. By putting your body in low-stakes, stress-inducing environments like the ice bath, you allow it to react and adapt. The more you practice, the better you become at dealing with the higher-stakes stressors of your daily life.
The foundation is breathing and cold thermogenesis, it will be a greater starting point for anything else than our common understanding. Cheers on life
“The cold is merciless, but it is absolutely righteous. It goes past the mind, past the conditioning, past all comfort-zone behavior, past our weakness, and makes us strong” - Wim Hof
Alert: when a study says to do cold immersion in cold or ice water to the neck they don’t mean just put your head under water for 1-5 minutes! (Keep your head out while immersed to the neck). Yes, this tweet was prompted by a question about this.
Get cold easily? Exposure to cold water (shower, ice bath, cold plunge etc) for 11min per week (divided into 2-3 sessions), adjusts brown fat (around the heart mainly) which in turn heats the body more robustly and raises comfort in cold environments. Burns body fat as well.
This study beautifully illustrates the synergistic effect of the first two pillars of the Wim Hof Method (breathing and cold exposure) and why you want to make sure that you’re practising both: https://t.co/qWlXFUGoiP
To me the cold is like God, you could say that. I think the cold as a noble force. It's just helping me, training me, it's bringing me back to my inner nature the way it is meant to be. And this way I do not only endure the cold, I LOVE THE COLD ❄️
