I am currently in the middle of doing the ice man challenge in my own way. When I first saw Wim Hoff on telly, I thought “who is this crazy man, getting people to jump in iced water?” Now I am a devotee! After spending 40 years being dismissed as a ‘nutter’ he is finally being recognised for the inspired leader that he is. As he says, he is a man who dropped out of school, and he is now teaching top scientists how the human body and mind works. I am doing his 10 minute breath work daily, its free on Youtube (so no excuses) along with a freezing cold shower. I have yet to dip my toe in the iced water, but I know that is coming…
We also have freezing winter seas near me, so I think I might be dipping more than a toe in that also. I have only been doing it for a short while but can feel the immediate benefits. My mood lifts, and my thoughts are brighter and clearer. I feel physically good also, and strong. I can’t recommend him enough for helping to stabilise the brain stem and calm down the fight or flight impulse that causes so much mental health problems. I am recommending it to all my clients, so cold showers all round. With fuel increases we might all be having cold showers anyway soon, but I bet one side effect will be the increase in the health of the nation. Try it, it’s free and once you get into it is not that difficult to do.
With love,
