I could just go take a cold shower.

It'll be easier, faster.

but you know, I always fight that fight and end up in the cold plunge for somewhere between three and four minutes.

Um, and that's where I get to like really slow down my breathing, really get centered, really get focused.

The cold plunge is, uh, you know, obviously there's a lot of talk about cold plunging and all the health benefits.

And for me, I really do believe, and I've been doing cold plunge for probably about 10 years.

And, um,

For me, it's understanding this idea that we are going to have to do things that we don't want to do if we want to get to places that we've never been.

Right?

Because every day, I mean, every day it's a battle to get in that thing.

39 degree water in a, you know, 30 degree garage, if not colder in the wintertime, you know, it's just, it's hard.

It's hard.

And so I set myself up for success, giving my, you know, grabbing the confidence to just go in there and do it.

And then I get out of there and I'm like,

Like every system in your body, especially...

if you're able to slow down your breathing.

And, you know, for years I used to cold plunge with my hands under my armpits and my legs crossed.
