How does the tub NOT FREEZE?

[@criminal_ur]

❤❤

[@theturtlemoves9310]

Have you thought of getting a black cover for the tub? It would absorb what little energy the sun is giving and maybe keep the water thawed longer. It would also block the wind.

[@GrammyRose]

We have something similar in Michigan and it's always a really refreshing reset! You seemed really down in this video.

[@jenniferjager6259]

I wonder, who is able to learn a language in 3 weeks? I'm on babble for several months now, trying to learn Swedish, but I'm very far away away from communicating in Swedish. And I'm very consistent, every day for up to an hour (including the time on another language app) Some days more some days less. 🫣

[@jessiehickman6178]

this was such a raw video cecilia. thank you for showing me that you too can get stressed at times. my boyfriend and i recently had a miscarriage two months ago and we just look forward to your videos every week. we even turn on an old video from time to time. thank you for showing us your life & grim & the lifestyle you live. sorry for all the words but we just love your videos. ❤you give us a bit of light on our not so good days.

[@colleenbrown3366]

Praying for your healing ❤❤

[@TheMinimalistTherapist]

I'm sorry you are going through this loss.

[@DDD11239]

You'll eventually feel the urge to be filled in bed, so your miscarriage sadness will soon be overpowered.

[@yourlittelsister]

Same.. We lost our baby daughter a few weeks ago at 16 weeks.. cecilias videos are the only that i can watch at the time.. the natur calms me down and i don‘t have to worry to see little babys..

[@LynetteMcGrath]

As a person who lives in a sub-tropical climate, I feel that Cecilia and I have very different definitions of a 'warm' day and a 'cold' day...

[@DodlDecF]

Me too

[@KiraPu-yx7wo]

Watching from Los Angeles 😂

[@lauriemashek5419]

I love snow but I have never been heard celebrating 15 below as warmer weather. 😮burrr!

[@kaylam1252]

[@totesgene]

I live in the desert. For me, if it’s 70 it’s chilly. I love how she says, “it’s not that cold” when it 5 or 10 degrees F.

[@dianebondhus9355]

I love how Christopher helps you set up your cold tub, all the while probably thinking I'm glad I'm not doing this. 😂

[@cavalierheaven]

My thoughts exactly 😂

Lol 😅

[@willowslater9961]

He’s like “..my crazy lady”😂

[@english.conversationforadults]

Something I've learnt from you Cecilia, is no matter how I feel or the weather...I must go outside for a walk with my dogs because that's something that has a positive impact on my mood and helps me a lot to control my anxiety... Never stop making videos! Please!🙂✨️

[@rachelcampbell8567]

Thank you for being you! you are relatable and entirely and authentically you!! Absolutely adore you. You warm my heart and so does baby Grim!! Yay!!!

[@BostonHeather]

From one introvert with anxiety, thank you for your video!!!!

[@amadoujallow6994]

Cecilia, thank you for your complete honesty about feelings of anxiety and stress,which so many of us can relate to.Even though you lead a very special life on Svalbard, it doesn't stop you from being overwhelmed by everyday pressures. You certainly know how to make a perfect video and the ending just with Grimm was beautiful and so heartwarming.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

🧡🙏🏻🧡

[@cavalierheaven]

Your videos take me to another place. It’s so beautiful and peaceful. Thank you and take care.

[@melissaeckstein4094]

After a week of stress and anxiety of things going on in my life, I’m reminded of how grounding your videos have become for me. Thank you for sharing your life. You have such a calming energy.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@jimh.8138]

I live in Arizona in the U.S. I’m currently trying to get my pool water up to 80 F so I can get into it. All I can say is…WELL DONE. 😅

[@kendycruz7389]

😂 right! I'm next door in Vegas, also don't jump in if the water is less than 80° 😅

[@ROCKDEES1]

The desert southwest is the hottest in the USA. Nothing like it! 🏜

[@veeemit9719]

The ice crystals falling on Grim were so perfectly shape-I could see their individual patterns so perfectly against the back drop of his beautiful hair.

[@totowashere]

I feel it's so relatable that you talk about struggling with stress and anxiety, especially since you seem like a really postive, down to earth person overall. Thank you for that, it made me feel less alone.

[@bunny_0288]

Cold water plunges and even just taking cold showers has helped me soooo much with my anxiety/panic/nervous system issues.

[@wainber1]

Taking swims in cold water is also a very common tradition within Slavic Orthodox Christian communities, with the former Soviet union known for such traditions, including early in January to mark Epiphany.

[@mixym9064]

Your positivity in every aspect of your life is so contagious ❤thank you!!! 😊

[@lettiekirk5967]

You are so right - she is the best! She makes me laugh and 😊!!

[@1CreativeChaos]

Riiiiight!!! Cecilia is actually my most effective antidepressant. I know it sounds cliche. But watching her videos is so inspiring and can get me out of a depressive episode much faster than any of the techniques I’ve learned in therapy. ❤️

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Aww thank you so so much ❤

[@shannonsullivan1968]

I got the chills just watching you immerse in the cold water! You are far braver than I am.👍🏻😊

[@alysiasmith2447]

I loved Grim’s photoshoot at the end. What a gorgeous pup!

[@sophiaantropova5874]

Those final seconds of the video with Grim in the falling snow are so majestic they brought tears to my eyes 🥲

[@hereandthere6001]

he really has such an angelic face ❤

[@finer_dove]

I once got in a cold bath of 55 degrees F and thought I’d die, I’d never been so cold! 😅 Can’t imagine what your bath felt like, Cecilia!

[@suzisaintjames]

I thought of a free way to keep the water in your ice bath from freezing... Igloo. Make a driftwood frame over the tub. (Drift wood from the remote cabin.) Put a tarp over the frame and let the snow cover it. Leave a doorway in the tarp, so you can cut the ice away from the door to access the tub. 💕🌞🌵😷

[@BethiaB1722]

The last image of Grim's face is precious!!! 💝

[@lindatheresa8449]

With all that snow around, don't you crave a hot tub? Guess I'm not into icebath therapy at all. Love the idea of snowy landscape occasionally, as I live in the tropics in Qld Australia. Cheers Cecelia, Christopher and Grim. ❄❤

[@fran0162]

Girl!!! You are a warrior...ice bath in the artic!!!Beautiful video!

[@Kath1813]

OMG! An ice bath!! I can’t think of anything worse! Love watching you from nice, warm Florida, though!

[@katherinelittrell9689]

Your personality is awesome! Grim's face!!!😍 What stunning views you shared today! Cold water therapy...emmm, I think I'll live vicariously through you on that one.😁😂

[@darettablack3794]

Grim has one of the sweetest faces…the smile I get from looking at his precious face 😊. You’re amazing and inspiring,thank you so much for sharing your experience. It was so enjoyable watching you enjoy yourself. Awesome video!!! Have a wonderful Sunday….🍃🌷🍃

[@Im_Bennythebooman]

Thanks for taking the time to describe the process so well. Before, during and after. Intrigued

[@JanaJacob-ii1bq]

Grim is so happy and smiles whenever he is next to you!Cristofer is totally in love with everything you are!

[@adventureswithjosie]

I'd love to try an ice bath someday! You and Christoffer should get a sauna to use with your ice bath!

[@rushpinn]

To anyone who experience anxiety, I also highly recommend this. For me it has been incredibly efficient. You don't need to go all in with a tub and -15 degrees. I finish my usual shower with about 1min of cold water and it works too. And don't use the coldest setting on the tap either if that is too overwhelming, just turn it down enough for it to feel cold and shocks your body. After 3-5 times you will realise the difference in every day life. AMAZING!

[@Kristen-kp6dh]

Good morning from Minnesota! Sunday mornings are always my favorite because of your beautiful and relaxing uploads🙂

[@dwitch]

Ahhh Sunday. Coffee and Cecilia. 🥰 I have anxiety as well and I have found that jumping(not literally) into a cold shower really helps, and I got the idea from watching you take your granny dips in the ocean. I can deal with an anxiety attack much better because of it. So thank you! The sun on the snow covered mountains is beautiful, but I will miss seeing the blue hue. Have a great week! Love you♥️

[@SewTexas]

Christoffer, I think your audience would love to see you dip into the cool waters!

[@kezzien56]

Oh wow you are incredible Cecilia I applaud you my friend!! So picturesque so if you are going to do an ice bath I guess you might as well have this beautiful scenery. Thank you as always love everything about your posts and Grim Omg such a treasure ❤👣🐾❄️🩱

[@artelina]

Incredibly scenery with all that blue as a background to your pink bathing outfit. Looked so awesome ! Well done there !

[@philipbonafede7320]

My daughter has our 2 year old grand daughter and so she is dealing with stress all the time. She introduced me to Green Compass CBD. One gummy in the evening soothes the savage beast! Stress is best dealt with on all fronts including a good nights sleep, fresh clean air, peace and quiet, healthy thinking, me time (mute phone), exercise, a good diet, and I definitely admire your ICE BATHS!! U rock!!! Love the videos! Always look forward to Sunday mornings with you!

[@judegambling5482]

Love your videos Cecilia....brave to jump into that ice bath...the back drop is as breath taking as you getting into that cold water. ❤

[@KingsMom831]

Would you and Christoffer consider making an update video on your new/current espresso machine? Thanks for another incredible video!! Grim, you’re a good boy!❤

[@heatherward6175]

ive never been a fan of cold weather at all but youre videos have made me change my mind, theres something so beautiful about the snow and ice

[@mita6010]

My one comment about an ice bath; WHY 😂. I’m glad it’s you not me, but I commend you as a warrior woman. The absolute stunning beauty of the surrounding landscape is what makes everything you do pure joy.🤩

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Wow well done with that cold plunge aww The photo of Grimm at the End just adorable .

[@andreas7136]

10:16 I am shivering, just watching this!

[@rebeccadanvers884]

I am not used to cold weather. I live in a warm country in southern Europe. I started cold water immersions two years ago. I take 0 degrees celsius baths up to 3 minutes 3 times a week, no socks, no cap or gloves, and I have never had to control my breath. I have a nice feeling when the body core rewarming starts, but nothing like the exhilarating effect you describe. Cold water baths are a challenge for me, but not a physical one, but a mental one. And little physical reward comes out of it for me.

[@KatischeHaberfield]

Hi Cecilia- your optimism and joy in the everyday reminds me of my niece who I don't see very often. Thanks for the laughs. But take it from a middle aged woman- I'm pretty sure that a lot of menopausal closet Cecilia watchers could take your ice bath suggestions but simply have a really cold shower to help relieve anxiety which comes with a mid life crisis and hormonal changes blah blah blah. Keep sharing your insights, you never know who they will help! Namaste.

[@SuperChicken666]

If I were ever to be arrested, just the threat of a cold shower would have me confessing. I can't imagine taking an ice bath without the promise of extraordinary compensation.😊❤❤❤

[@dawnw.6559]

[@velocitygirl8551]

Saaaame lolol

[@lynnejacobsen9675]

I will have to take your word on that cold water therapy. A good snuggle with my dogs relieves my stress and anxiety. I d love the very cold winter temps and snow! ❄️🩵

[@StashaA.]

When Cecilia says: "Today is not really cold at all, it's minus 12". And I'm still in my winter jacket on plus 11. 😂😍

You are a comic! We love you too. You make my day!! 74 year old granny from South Africa! Blessings!

[@cazinaus4917]

Positively balmy....you know we ALL want to see Christopher join you 😄 Those snowflakes on Grim on the out-take are just captivating....thank you.

[@valeriechristie1075]

I started taking cold showers a few years ago but hadn't taken one for months until I watched you taking your cold bath and felt inspired to restart my cold shower routine! It feels really good and is so beneficial for my mental health

[@Natalie-xy7zy]

I love the shots of Grim at the end of the video. He's so precious. I'm allergic to dogs, but I wish I could have one. I appreciate all the time you include your precious pup in the videos. :)

[@truestindian5243]

Great est excitement of Life👍👌 Lots of love to three of you all the way from Western India 🇮🇳

[@danendsley9310]

Staying in that long is impressive. I was expecting a quick in and out. We always start our Sunday mornings with you new videos. Next years we're doing a 13 days "northern lights" cruise on Viking. We love to travel. Thanks for all you do to show us Svalbard and your lifestyle. Hugs to you and Christopher...and Grim.

[@Arieslove176]

I can’t sleep well and I found myself watching your videos and I find them uplifting and inspirational and you’re a joy to watch. Thank you for this ❤ 🙏

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

What heavenly views!! That arctic blue really is something else. Happy spring!

[@deebee.14]

Grim is just so adorable and you Cecilia, jumping in that ice bath 🛀 is plainly bad ass thing to do. I shivered on your behalf. Great vlog as always. Thank you ❤

[@AK-et8ff]

The non-chalant way you're like, I just hate hiking with a weapon. It's so real and just life. I love hanging out with you Cecilia. The slow video of Grim at the end. He just is so beautiful!

[@KatySimpsonLive]

I watched this in a highly stressed state and just watching it and imagining doing the ice bath has helped massively. Thank you Cecelia!

[@Momma_Stina]

So gorgeous~ You really do such an amazing job of capturing the light and the feeling from Svalbard~

[@bunnyflower]

This is just the MOST beautiful video. Thanks you Cecilia, for sharing your life - the good and bad - and this spectacular place with all of us. I'm so grateful! ❄

Hello Cecilia, Christopher & handsome beautiful Grim! So happy to see your posts on Sundays. Glad you got your cold therapy splash bath conquered. You go girl! Have a wonderful week. Love your videos & looks like you’ll be hitting 800,000 subs soon so yayyyy! 👍❤

[@elizabethcameron6045]

Warrior Woman! You rock! Somatic body and breathwork does it for me and the water here will NEVER be as cold as in your beautiful, frozen land. Be well, Cecilia!

[@marciahanson456]

Love to spend my Sunday morning with you, Christopher and Grim. This video was great, what a beautiful day!!! You know Cecilia you have such a wonderful man!!! He helped you so much getting you ready for your bath!!! And then made you a coffee after!!! What a love!!!

[@DanielleInTheWild]

yaaayyy!!! Thank you for sharing your reset with us. It's also a great reminder to do the things that push us outside our comfort zone in order to heal and to grow. And you NAILED it with saying it's a kind of cold that's 'scary', I was like 'YES THAT'S IT!'. It feels like a kind of attack almost... so scary! But it's so important to have the right mindset going in, and knowing how to control the breath. But also... can we just have a moment for Grim's lil FAAACCCEEEEE?!?!? GAH!

[@lizridley8951]

M sorry you was feeling stressed and anxious, but I am pleased you was able to reset and feel better. Love you ❤

[@kid_cat_dog]

I love seen new videos from you. You're a ray of sunshine from an arctic location! Makes me want to visit Svalbard to experience its beauty. Today, when you discussed your struggles, you showed a side of you that is so relatable. I think we all have these times at one point or another, but often have to 'fake it until you make it' moments just to get through the short term situations. Love you Cecilia! You're a true 💎 💎 💎

[@thelaundress11]

So excited. I didn’t get the gloves until I did the Svalbad ocean dip on Svalbard with -.5°C water and how saltwater freezes colder than tap water- I got ice burns on my palms from climbing down the ladder and touching the ice for only seconds !

[@Motherhubbard170]

and you girls do this for fun?😁

[@jody-annesullivan4547]

When I was around 10, all us kids were having a shower one after the other, and my Uncle came in to the bathroom and said to me ‘put it on cold at the end, cold, it’s good for your skin’. In Australia in summer that is not hard..in winter it is hard to do. To this day I do in summer, in cooler months I try, not always manage, to do. The cold water on my face and body is so enlivening. It is Autumn here, cooler in the morning now and am doing it daily again, re-remembering the lesson! Bless you, Uncle Bill, xx

[@classicashley3925]

Hello from Cincinnati, where it will get up to 81 today! My therapist told me that I could put a cold compress to the right side of my neck and or dunk my face in cold water to calm anxiety.

[@cherissemiranda3187]

I love doing cold plunges. I always feel amazing afterwards. You’re so right, after the first few seconds where you get your breathing under control, it’s not bad. I’ve only ever done it in lakes. I find my hands are the worst. They get really sore. I have a goal next time to dunk my face.

[@monicasgh68]

The colors are absolutely gorgeous outside. Your pink robe is perfect with the background colors! Grims precious face at the end is beautiful.

[@Alan-y5v4z]

.....I LOVE COLD...I HAVE COLD SHOWERS EVERY DAY...AND YOU FELL ALIVE ...LOOKS GREAT THOSE ICE TUBS ...WHEN I VISIT NORWAY I'LL TAKE THEM MYSELF....BUT GREAT VIDEO... RELAXING TO WATCH...!!

[@shinylittlepeople]

Incredible explanation.... Cecilia you are spiritual and you just experienced a spiritual experience .... I'm not religious although I would go to church with my grandparents but they were more spiritual than religious... what you just did is wake up your spirit a bit more. I'm glad you did this... I might .... try it one day... haha... the closest I've gotten to doing this was jumping in really gold Lake Huron in northern Ontario Canada which would probably not come close to this but it was COOOOLLLLDDD!!!! and you are right your body instantly "warms up" which is a weird concept but I know what you are talking about... just shows how intelligent our bodies are. Love your channel... every single bit!

[@chriskeentechnician]

This was cool to see as the first video of yours that I ever watched was one of your cold plunge videos. I’ve religiously watched your new videos ever since! Love your work 😀🤙

[@alanaUK]

Amazing to receive through you the cold bath experience. So beautiful to see you so relaxed and joyful. ❤

[@dadadapna]

I hate the cold and your channel helped me befriend winter time and cold things! It's great to see you back doing the cold plunge. Also, I've had anxiety all my life. I can't relate to the idea of not being an anxious person!

[@Longevitylifequest]

Cecilia, I love this! We embrace the Swedish minimalism and space loving style in our home here in Arizona! We have duvets for our bed, similar soft grey furniture and a small house (very cabin-like). We simply love it! I will figure out a way to hang our duvets outside more often in the warm, dry air. This might make you smile, because we had a little remodeling over the last few years, and our designer calls our style, "Desert Scandinavian!" 😄 Keep the cool videos coming! I could never stand on the porch in a long-sleeved T shirt with 14 degrees F! Much respect!

[@albertarose1433]

I’m so amazed by you Cecilia. Well done on the ice bath. And walking with Grim as you do. Well done! 👍🏼 ❤

[@lucindasutt7365]

I'm so happy for your satisfaction in the cold water, then being out. Wow, I never realized the possible benefits.

[@kathyv3909]

Thank you for those last few moments with Grimm, so beautiful and peaceful.

[@annettemurielle]

Cold water is so healing. I try to remember to run my shower cold for a few minutes before I get out as I've read that is also so good for us. Thank you for another wonderful video. 🙂

[@catzenhouse]

Seeing you go into that ice bath, Cecilia, just made my head explode - instant migraine!! Eeeiiiii!! But everything you show us is so gloriously wonderful so I will endure. From one Swede to another - best wishes from the Pacific NW.

[@Erika-gm2tf]

I love that you've rarely felt anxiety in your life. I've, unfortunately, taken anxiety as a given. I'd like to be less anxious. Whatever it takes. Thanks for the gorgeous video❤ And yes to cold baths! I just started ending my showers in cold water again. I stopped last fall, because I wanted more comfort, but I feel sooo alive afterwards and do at least 45 secs of cold shower at the end whenever I remember. It's so good. I live in a big city and dont have an outdoor plunge. You gotta do what works for you.

[@SimranMadaan-v9p]

You are such a bliss to watch! Thank you for sharing love and happiness Cecilia!🎉
