Full Episode
90 seconds is too much. It just is. I can't do 90 seconds. And I can't do 90 seconds because my brain can't compute 90 seconds. But I can do 30 seconds. And I can do 30 seconds forever. As we navigate our day-to-day, it's hard to see that. Because so often our day-to-day lacks clarity. So what can we do about it? Well, we can place ourselves in situations where we are reminded.
One of them, I've talked about before, being the cold plunge. Immersing yourself in cold water. We're sure there are health benefits, some of which are debated and disputed, but I certainly notice value in that department. But to me, that's not the biggest value add, not even close. To me, it's simply the daily reminder that I can do hard things, that it's who I am.
We need to reestablish that consistently. Confidence is earned. And I know in my life, I must earn it repeatedly. And when I'm immersed in the cold and shivering, there's always a point in my mind, however brief, that I'm thinking I want out now. The other day, I was at this point, looked at my watch, 90 seconds left, and that day and that moment, it felt like an eternity, just too much.
And those of you who are endurance athletes, for example, You know that when your body's operating at max capacity, you're suffering, you're exhausted. 90 seconds is truly a lifetime. When you look at it like that, it's too much discomfort for a minute and a half. Your heart starts beating, your mind starts worrying, right? So what do we do about it?
We look at it a little differently because from a different angle, you can skip it. You can do 30 seconds. The brain can grasp and digest 30 seconds. You can do anything for 30 seconds. Okay. So you start counting all of a sudden 30 gone. Now what? Well, you just did 30. You see how quick that went to another 30. Okay, done. Just like that. Now what? 30 more. But this is the last 30.
You don't even feel anything on the last 30, right? Come on. Adrenaline's going. You can feel the finish line. This is free time. This is a gift. This is cruise control. And now, done. You didn't have to do 90 seconds. You only had to do 3 by 30. And anyone saying, come on, man, that's the same thing. Yeah, it's the same when you're not under duress. But it's a miracle when you are.
So why is running life? Why is cold plunging life? Why is putting your body through stress or difficulty life? Because you remember that life... is taking big, difficult, seemingly complex things and breaking them down into manageable tasks. That is life. The pieces are always manageable.
Now the monster we allow the pieces to become when we stack them up and give them an invisible face, that's not so manageable. That's self-sabotage. And so to arm yourself with the understanding that all big things must be broken down is to green light the extraordinary.
On day one in 2014, a YouTube channel with zero subscribers growing to help over 100,000 people a day, that's a 90 second cold plunge. That's unfathomable, unthinkable, impossible. one video weekly at least for nine years, that's a 30 second cold torture. It was very doable. Standing in front of the mirror, practicing storytelling and speaking, it's 30 seconds in cold water.
