I took a cold shower once because we ran out of hot water in our tank. Instead of just waiting for it to replenish I decided “to hell with it” and just did it and I was actually glad I did. It made me more motivated to get through the shower instead of standing there in the comfort and warmth for 20+ minutes doing nothing and afterward I felt refreshed and invigorated. I tried taking a few more since then but I eventually just gave back in to the warmth. I think after watching this video I will start doing it again

[@dylangrudem7]

Personally i find cold showers very refreshing and i love them. I started taking cold showers a little over a year ago, i saw a wim hof video and decided to start taking cold showers. I was also very very depressed then, and cold showers made me feel alive. It reminded me i was alive and could feel still, which was really nice. I've always taken cold showers since, mainly for the benefit of cold showers (better hair, skin, etc.) and i love them.

Geweldige les weer Wolf! Ik doe ook al 2 jaar lang aan koude douches. Het is altijd een kleine worsteling voor je die douch ingaat en is het heel even verschrikkelijk als het koude water je raakt maar over de tijd heen is het ook zeker heerlijk geworden. Ik kan zeker zeggen dat ik geniet van mijn koude douches, helemaal op hete dagen haha, maar ook in winter omdat je jezelf sterk maakt tegen de kou. Als het super heet is 'nachts neem ik met liefde een ijskoude douche voor het slapen gaan en zo kan je heerlijk slapen onder de lakens zonder dat je last krijgt van de warmte. Als ik een warm douche dan had genomen loop ik te zweten in de nacht en word je niet zo fijn en uitgerust wakker als dat je een koude douche had genomen. Koude douches zijn dan zeker geen wonder middel maar het leert je wel tegen je angst in te gaan en het gewoon te doen. Groetjes en veel succes, Brutus

Cold showers are generally not recommended before bedtime. They energize you most likely through adrenaline, cortisol and/or other hormones, making sleep onset more difficult and may impact sleep quality. Cold showers are best after waking up and after vigorous physical activity or during the day when hot. Better for sleep is a warm bath or shower around an hour or 2 before bedtime because that resets your internal thermostat lower than the usual base. This slight temperature change signals to the body to go sleep among other things.

This channel is inspired by stoicism and the stoics we’re inspired by Diogenes. I’d consider him one of the originators of stoicism with Zeno. Similar to cold showers, Diogenes would hug cold statues in the freezing cold and roll in the hot sands in the blazing heat. He rejected conventionality and pursued virtues like courage, truth, and strength. He practiced what he preached and is said he have inspired Socrates and Alexander the Great. Alex is quoted saying “if I were not Alexander the Great, I would be Diogenes” his wit is shape and probably one of the first trolls. He gets a bad rap for being unkept but Socrates was known for having a dirty beard and toga too. “It’s not that I am mad, it is only that my head is different from yours” Diogenes

Please, I would like to know if it is true that a hot shower is good just before taking a cold one. Thanks a lot.

[@andyc9902]

I just found you. This channel..... Why didn't I see early. Underrated channel.

[@haijin7484]

I always take cold shower even in winter, it makes you more productive and lively.

[@martonhegedus]

What works for me most is to simply say "it's not cold" and it becomes a lot easier to start. "Cold" is relative. The other trick is trying not to resist the cold, but giving in to it, without muscle tension.

For some reason cold showers increase my allergies. Never like hot showers but warm showers do calm my allergies

When I was training for a military exam I would wake up 6:30 to run, and after it I would take a cold shower every time I finished it. Really good. Kept me studying hard till the day of the exam

[@damasterme]

[@naykayta]

[@skrillah6259]

I've been cold showering for almost 2 years and I find them pleasant now and has made me more resistant to cold.

Been going strong for half a year now...can even swim in the scottish sea without any issues.

Thank you for putting this into words and sharing with us.

Why is it that I took cold showers for 3 months and felt no change other than having a shorter temper and being more angry, I stopped because it was just making me pissed off every day

[@nightfighter7452]

Lmao probably b/c it felt like an obligation, something you HAVE to do in order to have a better life, not something you willingly choose to do to improve yourself. Don't beat yourself up, they aren't for everyone. It's more of a mental thing. There are more ways than one to get out of your comfort zone and the added health benefits you can get from just being a healthy person. You don't have to make yourself miserable every morning if you don't want to lol

[@wavy9434]

That's just you.

[@FlyingNutcase]

I'm on 5 1/2 months of pure cold showers only and also kind of disappointed in the results - not negative like you seem to have had, but not significantly positive other than the continuous ability to wonder how the hell I've managed to do it when it feels like being burned by a thousand lasers (mid-winter), lol. Good on you for sticking with it for so long anyway.

[@ToeMass123]

This is such a fantastic channel. Thank you!

[@VampiresCrypt]

With all due respect I feel horrible after cold showers, its the headache I get from the cold water not so much the first cold shock, yeah my body can adjust to it but why should it if I can use normal warm water.

[@jesusspartan8951]

I would attempt to change to cold after I showered. Slowly you can do it

[@rudolfsykora3505]

Nice video man. Your voice reminds me mental stability and trust. Since I moved to Iceland I started swimming in cold ocean and cold shower only for reason I dont understood till this day. Its addiction ;)

[@StopFear]

To me cold showers cause feelings of depression. Also I can tolerate cold very well. It is heat and humidity I cannot tolerate.

[@aby110]

It's used as a torture method...

[@erasmus9511]

I’m Indonesian and I went to Catholic school so we often went to retreats for 4 days high in the mountain. It was very cold. We had to wake up in the morning at 4 and queue to take a shower (it’s 3 shared bathrooms for 50ish people) so we had no time to test the water first, you just go in the small bathroom and immediately pour the freezing water to your body. After that you’d just left shaking and definitely awake.

You don't need to torture yourself to get all that.

[@DieEineMieze]

Eh, yes you do.

[@nightfighter7452]

@@DieEineMieze eh, no you don't

[@jorgeromera3861]

I used to take cold showers long ago. And after that I made up my mind to bath in the sea every single month of the year. The principle behind all that was the philosophy of strengthening by doing something we are averse to, something you've conveyed so brilliantly. By the way, that swimming pool was Picornell?
