Boost your mental and physical resilience while reaping the benefits of cold exposure.

Steps:

Gather Supplies

Acquire a tub or container large enough for you to comfortably sit in. Fill it with cold water and ice cubes.

Start Slowly

Begin with shorter sessions of a few minutes and gradually increase the duration as your body adjusts.

Control Your Breathing

Practice deep, controlled breathing to manage the initial shock of cold water.

Embrace the Discomfort

Focus on staying calm and mindful during the cold immersion. Embrace the tingling sensation.

Listen to Your Body

If you experience extreme discomfort, numbness, or pain, exit the tub immediately.

After the challenge, warm up with blankets, hot drinks, and gentle movements.
