this guy is bizzare
Im never taking a hot shower ever again
I always take cold showers in my wetsuit. Not too bad then ;)
As long as I start it with warm water it's not that bad
They used to say: "End your shower with cold water so your pores close up and let not the bacteria in after you go out".
This makes sense to me, but when you ONLY take cold shower, you do not give a chance for those pores to be cleaned anyways coz they will be closed up immediately after exposing to cold water. Am I correct?
I have been having cold showers for about 4 months now. Probably it has been the best time of my life so far
I take cold showers on a regular basis to give me the mental strength to face a stressful day in office.
Cold showers makes me fresh after waking up early or after returning home from office
It makes me ready to get out of the house.
Have you tried the Wim Hof breathing technique before your cold shower? I've only recently tried cold showers. Did cold showers straight and then looked into how to do them easier. Can't claim that I enjoy them or do them regularly. But, I thought the Wim Hof method helped. FYI, cause the research took me a minute, you lie down and take 30 deep inhalations followed by exhalations. Then you hold your breath for 1-2 minutes. Repeat the cycle 3 times. I experience a tingling in my hands by the end of the first inhalation cycle. I found while doing this that my body didn't experience the shock of the cold shower practicing the technique as opposed to not. Mind you, I wasn't trying to stay in the shower for a long time.
I was so addicted to cold showers I lost my day job. I’m in rehab now.
Cold showers help prevent nocturnal emissions. Big help when you been on nofap for 3 years.
I've been taking daily showers for a month maybe but it's Summer, Winter will be the test, maybe then I will be able to relate to the little girl comments. Lol.I have made some life changing decisions during this time. Frankly I don't know if cold showers are making the difference but I am definitely in a good place with my life right now so I'll persevere with it. "Making the decision to be uncomfortable" was a powerful statement. I have tended to retreat into my comfort zone now I realize that it is an unhelpful kind of dysfunctional habit.
Doing the ice water enema while in the cold shower is the touchdown.
Instead of jumping in cold water for 5 minutes, it's a lot more sustainable to slowly increase the duration and/or coldness over a series of days/weeks. Also, breathing techniques are highly important and effect
jesus i cant go trough this without getting asleep, and i just took a pretty decent nap
scream like a little girl wooow thats sexist dude
that guy got you good joe
r/im14andthisisdeep
This guy is the worst...nob.
Next time...don't run fr cover when it rains...just walk calmly...people will think you are crazy...
He should have gone into how epic you feel after you take a cold shower - you get an energy rush like some sort of drug and your mind clears to absolute clarity.
Very much interesting. What I would add (beside highlighting physical benefits of cold showers, see Rhonda Patrick and Wim Hof for more) is that you do have to willfully accept it as a challenge. Not like 'yet another stress in my life' kind of passive approach, but as chance to learn to confront and overcome discomfort in life. 'Discomfort is the 'price' we have to pay to *achieve* our goals, make our dreams reality: accept it, face it, embrace it, go through it until you can look back with pride from your rightfully conquered spot.
You may not willing to do it (or not again) but push yourself into it saying I can do it, I want to do it, I'm building resilience, I will enjoy so much the time after this... And you will. Next time, easier.
On a side note: screaming 'like a little girl' isn't realistic, nor fair. 'Or boy', that is. ;-)
I learned to do this naturally wanting to force myself to be more uncomfortable.
Great talk
BRAVO! Loving my cold showers - 3 weeks in (thanks to Wim Hof 🎉)
so... does one use soap and wash... or is that done in a hot shower followed by gradually turning down the hot water?
I start luke warmish so it's bearable to shampoo or brush my teeth etc. then I slowly make it colder and colder. I found this making it a lot easier
I find myself in this story, but i think 5 min cold shower for the start is not ok .
I have been diving into the ocean in Alaska every morning for going on two months now at dawn, dead of winter. In and out. I cannot do 5 minutes. I am 63. I am a heart patient. There is science behind this. I do WIMHOF breathing before I go in. I envision comfort, not discomfort. My pulse and bp are down to normal.
Cold showers daily right here
“Objects in cold shower are bigger than they appear”
*WATCHING THIS WHILE IN MY JACUZZI ...*
"I screamed like a little girl." - poor choice of words.
The only problem with cold showers is a few hours after I take them I get sleepy and tired
We talking winter or summer? You shouldn't be screaming like a girl in the summer when outside temperatures are 25C°+ if it's winter time and it's bellow zero and the pipes are frozen then you can legitimately hit those high notes. That being said, who seriously showers for 5 mins anyway? You will spend most of that 5mins rushing to wash you won't even have time to enjoy the beauty of the cold as it slaps your face. What about washing your hair? I hope you don't skip the best part... it's like 1000 needles beautifully penetrating your skull. By that time you have forgotten it cold and find yourself reaching to turn the temperature down. I gave up on cold shower years ago I take ice baths now much more relaxing
Especially when it's a cold shower, I want to get out of there as soon as possible lol
Is it cheating if you add a tiny bit of hot water?
Do you only take cold showers or do you allow yourself warm showers or baths from time to time? At night perhaps? Always wondered this when viewing these videos of people who take cold showers.
Good presentation :)
Not sure the temp of shower is going to fix peoples problems think about the people cant pay gas or elec bill to keep water warm there life are prob very confutable
Most unconviencing Tedtalk ever! IMO
I take cold shower with Kangen beauty water. I have Kangen Water machine and I use for taking cold shower. Machine remove all toxins from water.
I bathe in ice water....wim hof set me off
Yes it's true that cold showers are great for you for many reasons but this speaker is boring. End of story.
Graduate to golden showers. Cold showers are so yesterday.
Damn that was inspiring. Im gonna take a cold shower now
Taking cold showers is the key to freedom. Love and light
same thing applies to running about which there is a story told by Will Smith, as I remember he was saying; when you are running and get tired there is a little guy appears in your mind saying "enough, I can't do it anymore" but if you don't listen to that voice and keep running you will have the sense of triumph against him, in other words you will learn not to be giving up against the difficulties you encounter in your daily life.Because you chose running which is a difficult for many people instead of lying on a sofa in front of the tv, computer e.g, you chose to suffer and this is going to make you stronger as mental and physical!
Hahahaha dude I find this hilarious, here in South America is normal to take cold showers, wake up at 5am, walk your way to work, working hard from 7 to 8 and we don't get to brag about it in a Ted talk. I'm always amazed by the things white people take pride of.
Cold showers does feel great. (after) the most important quiestion at this point do you have a standing shower or a bath
Ancient Indian knowledge. You learn this now.
First day and it’s already comfortable, gives me pins and needles. I actually find it rather relaxing, no clenching or uncomfortable feelings so far
Visit my channel for my cold plunging to boost my immune system. I am losing my eyesight and am on a journey to cure myself. I also eat plant based foods. I started my vegan jouney 8 months ago
3:05 Did he wanted to say "Cold Approach"? RSD affiliate! :D
I really wish he would of at least told them the physical benefits of cold showers!! Not just the mental side of it. I've been taking cold showers every single time, multiple a day, for years, I'll never go back. Many health benefits.
Took my first cold shower yesterday....30 days in a row here I come! 🥶
Wim hof method + Rebounder + 5 Tibetan Rites + Heartmath HRV training + jogging every (other) day + Vegeterian or Vegan diet= becoming superhuman
It’s like compressed progressive relaxation if you try to relax and breathe deep and slow
what are the drawbacks of taking cold showers?
+BaronVonComment feeling cold
Shrinkage.
Amazing, gonna try it !
Thanks
What if shower just once in a week?
Taking a shower everyday sounds luxurious. Having access to a shower/bathtub/water hose sounds luxurious
Little boys are allowed to scream too you know???
553 people need to take a cold shower
I put the shower to cold...I started shadow boxing just to release all the energy.
What about golden showers?
I’m taking cold showers I feel the water cold but when I’m done I’m not cold I feel little warm weird but is true
do we need TED talks to talk about a cold shower? If you travel at all, you know most of the world takes cold showers... Many people lack access to clean water. ... what the F??
Gonna start this tomorrow morning
what a waste of time this video is.. the guy just says "I take cold showers" throughout the whole thing.
I pretend the cool to cold shower is a waterfall in Yosemite...starts or ends a beautiful day....
Thanks I really enjoy cold showers!
what if its august in texas? Does that cold shower count?
not sure if this helps but if i take a hot shower and stay in too long i feel tired afterwards.
I guess you could shut water off when shaving your legs, if not.........shivering with a razor??? 🤨
do you think a cold BATH for 30 mins would do the same?
The next step on feeling unconfortable to strengh you, just make a surgery without anesthetics. Certainly, after that, you´ll be a badass strong person to face big challenges on life ! 6 months on the army is also a big strenghter !
Yeah nah, here just taking cold showers because I wanna save money, time and most importantly water.
Yes, choose the hard way and you will improve and see things differently.
Been taking cold showers for a couple months now.... worth it my mind set is wayyy different
I took cold bath while watching this video.
Cold Shower Therapy (CTS) is the best! There is even an app for it!
Can i do ot wit clothes on
White people are soo soft
Good idea but you pause to much when u speak kinda wanna slap u to get the words out your mouth
The slow pace of this talk was really uncomfortable....I guess that was on purpose!
Poo in the shower whilst doing the 30 days, I felt amazing afterwards!
Cold showers are legitimately turning me into a psychopath. Been doing it for 3 weeks now
I take cold showers for health benefits. With that said I like this guys perspective on cold showers, its true cold showers help me through sticky situations,and I 100 percent advocate for them. Take a cold shower per morning for a week and see the difference for yourself. It helps digestion blood flow thermoregulation sleep patterns and causes a dopamine blast within the brain inducing happiness. Try it. Ted if you want me to do a talk give me a ring.
I just went 30 days on nothing but cold showers. Bit disappointed on how easy it was. Now waiting for the winter to really test the cold shower and hopefully manage to swim in the sea at winter time :O
Wow get to the damn point
People scoffed at him in the beginning
I've been on cold showers since the winter of last year and the only difference I've noticed is a cheaper utilities bill.
i really hate how much he said he screamed like a little girl just wtf is that supposed to mean
Very interesting concept I believe lifting weights or running has the same effect for me but I'll try the shower thing.
I’ve been taking cold showers for a week and this morning I went to take a warm shower and my body was not having it. I’m strangely addicted to cold showers
Take hot showers and turn it gradually to cold, allowing the body to adjust, with breathing getting deeper and deeper. It’s easy that way and gives same benefits, more even for the blood and lymphatic system, which likes the two extremes. This makes it doable and as each shower goes by the body adapts more and more to the feeling of the cold water, getting more comfortable in the discomfort.
I'm two weeks into my cold showers now and loving it, but today after about 30 seconds i had this burst of heat rush through me. I thought maybe I'd knocked the tap but it was 100% cold. Anyone else experienced that?
Ive got toilet paper pieces all over my face now..... Don't shave in a cold shower
Yup...best thing I ever did. Twice a day...will never take a warm shower again. This WILL give you the edge, I guarantee.
I was in the Philippines with wife and we stayed at her friends guest house. It came with it's own pool so her friends were not poor. They were rich and I was so surprised that they did not have hot water. The guy was the vice governor of the province, all my wife's family were big shots but she didn't know how to operate the hot water at the hotel in Manilla. She'd never had hot water. Now living here 8 years she is spoiled with the hot water like me.
How could a talk on cold showers be this dull? There's no enthusiasm at all in his voice. I mean we're talking about making a conscious decision to submerge your testicles in FREEZING COLD WATER ON A DAILY BASIS here.
I wish he'd gone into more detail about the many benefits and history of cold showers in order to give people more incentive to try them besides just the idea of making oneself immensely uncomfortable. Or at the very least mentioned the euphoric energized feeling it gives you.
I love going in the ice cold bath after sauna. But that’s when I’m heated like a mofo. Today I tried my first cold shower. I was not prepared. I auto-jumped away from the water as if it was boiling. Afterwards I did a hot to 80% cold. Tomorrow I will go hardcore, after my fasted cardio.
So yeah I went this morning. Fist did some high intensity cardio which was good for raising my bdoy temperature. Then got in the shower and went for it. First 30 seconds were pretty intense. Then a big relief but still cold. After a couple of minutes and getting fully soked in the cold water I got out and then I felt really good. Warm. Nice. So yeah will try and do it some more days.
Cold showers are useless to me. In the city I live it's 32ºC (90ºF) all day, everyday of the year. Cold showers are extremely pleasurable here!
