"We are ancient beings living in this modern world."

​

Our bodies are built for this! With the right mindset, approach + process to the cold, it can make a world of difference.

​

Mindset Upgrades

1. The cold is not bad - it provides a lot of sensation and sensation is good because that means YOU ARE ALIVE.

​

2. The cold represents our fears + deepest insecurities, meaning the things we want to avoid. Begin to flex the muscle by learning to lean into discomfort.

​

3. There is no ego involved with the cold. Don't get caught up on going for the most time or to break a record - it could be dangerous to your health + the cold will humble you. Go inward on your journey, meet yourself where you are at + be proud for showing up.

​

The Surrender Experiment

Learn to accept the cold + see where you can begin to soften, relax, let go + release. This can be physical release - loosening the jaw, relaxing the tension in your shoulders or clenching your fists - or mentally pushing through the sensations.
