❓ How to complete the mission

We admit – this takes some strength and dedication but the benefits are well worth it.  According to the Wim Hof Method the benefits of taking a cold shower are: 

  • Reduced stress levels
  • Higher level of alertness
  • More robust immune response
  • Increased willpower
  • Weight loss

Along with the above, cold exposure can also lead to: increased endorphins and an improvement in your metabolism and circulation.  

🤓 How?

The key to successful cold immersion is to ease into the habit and slowly build up the duration and intensity.  Begin with your shower at its regular temperature then finish off the last 30 seconds cold.  Then you can gradually increase this time as you progress.  Alternatively you could start by lowering your shower temperature to a temperature that is slightly uncomfortable, then stay underneath for two or three minutes focusing on breathing deeply. The following time you will lower the temperature slightly more and try to stay underneath longer. With both these methods you will find that you will tolerate the cold more and more.  Perhaps you will even begin to look forward to the morning ritual?
