Yeah because when you think about it. the water is warm/cold to the touch because its colder/warmer then your normal body temp. So when you get out your body is going back to its original temp.So youll start to feel warmer after a cold shower and Colder after a hot shower

Now understand i grew up in Africa we had to take cold showers we had no other options, Life was Amazing, i was always happy and positive all the time no anxiety or depression. Now i live in UK Life is so comfortable but, it doesn't give me that joy i use to have when i didn't have much. Now i choose to make my life a bit uncomfortable, like sometimes i volunteer to work in Mental Hospitals, after i finish it makes me feel so Fulfilled . I think Humans are not designed to be comfortable.

True. Speaking from personal experience (in the shower, not with crack). The pain is worst at the very first and then decreases dramatically for the first 30 seconds, at which point it's maybe 65% gone, then the remainder goes away until at 2 minutes the pain is gone, and the endorphins and dopamine start to noticeably ramp up. At 5 minutes, it just feels cold, not bad. Jumping out and toweling off feels INCREDIBLE. All day you will feel the echo of fantasticness.

The cold shower really saved me from depression when my wife left me and got my kid with herself, and I almost drank alcohol for 2 weeks and started thinking about leaving this world, but somehow I started looking for a help for myself and researching stuff that could put me up, then I found a cold shower habit and workout out every morning at 6am. After two weeks later it's just magic, it's just new life begins and u feel like nothing gonna stop you! and your body automatically produces dopamine and it's like you're achieved a very hard task on the table. So if anyone having a bad time I will suggest taking a cold shower this thing is a simple common recipe to look life much much better.

@Soroush Kasra if diving in fully submerged into an ice bath is not something you're accustomed to and your body is not acclimated to it overtime with gradually doing hot showers to warm showers or cold showers, then I would recommend starting at Ground Zero. Cold showers and Ice baths are beneficial to your circulatory system and helpful for the healing of the body not just physically but energetically also, in all your 7 chakras. It's always good to start first with turning a hot shower into warm and then cold as you become comfortable with it, and the longer you can stay in a cold shower the more you're going to be acclimated to an ice bath. It's always recommended to start with no more than 5 minutes if you're a beginner. Cuz overtime you'll slowly build up your tolerance from 1 minute, to 2 minutes, to 3 minutes and all the way up to 5 minutes, as far as your physical tolerance and how comfortable cold becomes to you. Once you become comfortable with standing under a cold shower faucet for 5 minutes then move on to the ice bath where you can fully submerge, but again when you start with the ice baths you start again the same way you did with cold showers. Submerged slowly at your own pace, listen to your body, continue to do the breathing and slowly let your body acclimate to the submersion. starting with 1 minute, then 2 minutes, and going up to 5 minutes. As far as I know, only people who have been doing this for a couple of months consecutively if not an entire year consecutively doing this on a regular basis every single day or every other day or every 3 days, they are more able to jump straight into freezing cold ice bath being able to be completely submerged in an instant without stressing the body so much because the body is acclimated to that kind of stress. It's like going to a gym and expecting to be able to do a 300 lb deadlift if you've never lifted before at all. You have to be able to build up the tolerance & the muscle strength before you dive too deep. So yes, it can be hazardous to someone's Health if they are pushing too far too fast. It doesn't matter if you're doing a 300lb deadlift at the gym or if you're jumping into 32 Degree freezing ice bath to do the Wim Hof method. Build up your tolerance. build up your strength, go at your own pace and listen to your body. You'll do just fine, 👍👍🤙🤙💖

Just took my first cold shower today. I've done the James Bond shower a few times but never really ended with the water as cold as it goes, more like 20%. This time I just went in on the coldest the water goes and HOLY SHIT! I started by just leaning the top of my head in and let it run down my face. Then I let it spill down my back and stood up quickly so it would get on my chest next. By this time I was breathing very rapidly and I started to roar like and animal. As the water started to soak every part of my body something crazy happened... I don't know if it was the adrenaline or not but I started laughing hysterically and uncontrollably for about 20 seconds. I just could not stop laughing! It was pure bliss! Then I stood still and the water just splashed my chest in the same spot and I started to feel calm and relaxed, even comfortable. As I got out and dried off I felt giddy and high. Also slightly invincible. 10/10 would do it again.

Okay, as one of many who has been through this 30 days challenge, here are my thoughts toward this video: 1. Cold shower can make you more resilient. I used to be a little whiny bitch, want to enjoy everything and never pay much effort. But after 30 days without any compromise, I have much stronger will power and execution. 2. Cold shower can benefit your health. It gives you better skin and hair, but most importantly, for man, it boosts up your metabolism and sex performance.Tested. No kidding. 3. Cold shower is one of view ways of torturing your self while benefiting you at the same time. I personally think it is one better way of putting your self in a optimum condition when you feel that you need to put your shit together. 4. Cold shower saves time. I used to do hot showers that at least last 15 min. I would get too comfortable and hate to get out of the shower(I know you do too). But taking cold shower is completely another story. You would feel 2 minutes of standing in there takes way to long. So usually I cold shower within 5 minutes. Not only excited for the rest of the day, but also I am able to be more alert and productive. 5. .... There are many good reasons to take cold showers. I understand people wouldnt do it no matter wut because certain people cannot bare the coldness. But trust me I was no where near enjoying that coldness like 2 month ago, and I still dont like it now. I just got used to it. So would I recommend this method and do I agree with wut the guy said in this Ted Talk? Hell Frickin Ya.

I see improvements in the clarity of my skin, my immune system when outside in winter cold, and I feel more energetic. Combined with my noPMO streak of 33 days I'm on a good roll. Cold showers are beneficial for both mental and physical health.

You don’t have to jump into a cold shower, you can go in it hot and slowly turn it to freezing. It’s no about shocking yourself, or making yourself scream, it’s about those 3 to 5min in a freezing shower. So weather you want to jump right into the cold or gradually get there is the same thing.

Cold showers in the winter, when outside temperatures are below freezing, are harder to endure than those during the summer. Here, it taught him not to obsess and fear uncomfortable situations. In fact there are many things which are difficult to do but also beneficial to do, such as learning a new skill, an instrument to play, or language, but it could also be an exercise program or eating healthier before you are told to by your doctor. Cold showers can be beneficial medically, but then again so can hot showers. It takes wisdom to know when to take which.

I just let my mind think about something else like I just dose off in to space

Saw this video two months ago and it inspired me to do the 30 day cold shower challenge. I now do it most of the week and it feels great after the shower. The first 3 days are the most difficult. After the difficult first 3 days its actually not that bad. Thanks for the inspiration Joel.

This cold shower therapy has literally changed my life..There are so many benefits to cold showers for your mind & body. All I know is that if you want to improve your life and try something new & completely crazy, you should totally head to your shower and prepare yourself for one of the best (and worst) experiences you will ever take in your life.

I love cold showers. They’re uncomfortable but at the same time they’re invigorating! They give me a blast and it makes me feel alive and ready for anything. It makes me feel powerful because it’s cold but I deal with it anyway.

Taking these types of challenges.. makes you think that no matter how harsh life is.. you'll be fine.

I'm doing Wim Hof Method and taking cold showers is a breeze!

I've been doing this form of therapy for years now! Just not consistently, only when I have anxiety. Great to see other's are enjoying this convenient therapy!

I've been taking cold showers for about six months now first thing in the morning about six am for five minutes ,I think it definitely helps with your mental state other than that I just like getting outside of my comfort zone once a day

I just had my 3rd day of cold shower therapy!!!! I am happier!!!! I feel fresher!!! My scalp and skin feel invigorated!!!! This is unreal. Life changed.

I've been taking cold showers every day for 9 months straight now & holy fuck has my life changed! Watching this video makes me recognize how it has!

ive taken cold showers for the past week minus 1 or two days and trust me it helps with your mental fortitude and ability to withstand uncomfortable situations. Plus the entire shower isn't shitty, just the first 20 seconds or so. After your body adjusts to the cold shower...like jumping into a cold pool or lake, it's not as bad as you might think. And afterwards you feel great. They truly do help.

I've been doing the opposite of what most people do for awhile now. I just heard of the idea of taking cold showers and was immediately intrigued. The cold feeling is almost similar to being imprisoned in a cell and you know you can't do anything but endure and calm your nerves or take the easy way out. I believe by constantly exposing yourself to this experience you will gradually become a better human being.

Btw, this is changing yourself mentally. Just nothing to do with morality.

I've been taking cold showers (in some fashion) for about 9 months now. First 30 seconds, then 1 minute, and so on. But, for most of the 9 months, I've taken a warm part first, then ended the shower with about 5 minutes of cold. My advise: do as Joel Runyon says and go full-cold, start to finish. I'm doing that now and it represents a whole new realm of mastery.

I just had an anxiety attack. I just took a cold water shower and it fixed the anxiety attack within minutes. Issue fixed 💯

normally after a warm shower you get out and you're cold, when you have a cold shower it's bad for a minute then you seem to get warmer it's pretty cool (no pun intended)

I took my first freezing shower before seeing this and this was just the encouragement I needed for taking another one tomorrow.

I took my first cold shower and it wasn't that bad! My body immediately warmed up and the cold shower didn't feel cold at all. The cold shower did restart my energy! I'm hooked.

Just took a 10 minute cold shower from start to finish , autumn in London so it was pretty damn icy cold. Feel like super woman. Now I just look at everything I don't feel like doing, even if I want to, but succumbing to distractions as an exercise. Stop worrying about the outcome, do it to do it, to see if u can. Trust the process. The rest will work itself out, you just need to show up.

Its been 40 days of cold showers for me. So far i have noticed many pleasant differences regarding my circulation, skin and attention. Also beneficial for my thinking, actions and clarity.

Very very into cold showers!!! The deeper sleep, cooling effect on my body and I get more wild dreams... outrageously brilliant!

Breath into the cold. Be one with the discomfort. Your mind and body are one. Reach deep.

He hits home at the end. Really pulls it together. Since this video, there has been much more information released about the possible benefits of cold showers. A stronger mindset based on discipline is definitely one of them. Cold showers are great.

I was so addicted to cold showers I lost my day job. I’m in rehab now.

My water heater broke, I’m on Day 3 of cold water showers and feel great! My theory is along with working out in the morning, your body has gone through the toughest part of the day and everything else will seem easy. Therefore, less stress and more energy 💪

I just started literally 20 minutes ago, it felt AWESOME and when I hopped out I noticed immediate change and became a bit happier and energetic

I really wasn't consistent about it but after watching this. This changed my life COMPLETELY

I know this talk for almost two years and I think I have watched it something like 10 times. I already did cold shower therapy before I start watchting this video, sometimes one hour. This video helped me to understand the cold beter, myself, fear and it is really interesting. I have also tried to implement: "choose to be uncofrmatble and see what happens" in my life. For example I do comfort zone challenges from exposure therapy. Like the laying down challenge or stretch my arms up and walk around a public place. I also really like how Joel talks. He really fascinates me with his story and the structure of his story is so good! I also really like how he thinks and he is a big example for me!

Sometimes it's good for the soul to take a cold shower every once in a while. I actually haven't had a hot shower and almost 30 days now. the Wim Hof method of cold showers every other day and the Wim Hof breathing every morning before my feet even hit the floor is very very addictive. I'm super stoked to do a video on that here in the coming days and I definitely recommend the cold showers even if it's involuntary in your situation😅😅

WOW. What a talk. One of the best ted talks I’ve listened to. Truly transformative.

@@nusans I suffer from anxiety, panic attacks and depression as well. I am taking cold showers since a week. I feel this helps me feeling uncomfortable and i just breath through it. In my nose out my mouth and relax... I think taking cold showers help you with breathing though attacks as well, because it is uncomfortable.. You fight off attacks the best with breathing.

I suffered from being cold for years. I would have a runny nose a lot. Always had to wear a jacket to go in the supermarket. I started exercising and sweating hard so I’d take a cold shower afterwards. Felt so good. After the shower my body is warm. I found myself not feeling cold anymore and didn’t need a jacket in the supermarket.

The connection I have been able to make with my mind and body with taken cold showers and water immersions has been remarkable. One thing for sure it is breath taken but the experience is powerful.

Insightful video! Every morning, first thing I do is take a cold shower. What's amazing is that even after my current 5-month streak, there is always a few moments that I think of all kinds of excuses why I shouldn't do it that day. And every time I just do it anyway, it feels like a little life lesson. I do believe there are physiological benefits--for instance, used to be very sensitive to cold and now I wear t-shirts when others wear sweaters-- but the psychological benefits Joel highlights here are definitely the most important reasons why I keep doing this. It appears to be a very good way to kickstart good habits in other areas of life.

First cold shower right after watching this video!!!! This men is very motivating.

This is really fantastic and it totally sums up why we don’t do things we know we should .. pain avoidance. Seems like cools showers are a good way to face up to what we have to do if we want to achieve anything. Thank you for this Joel, really really great. This is bravery training! I know that because I’ve just had one and I hated it, but I knew it was learning something beyond the pain.

A few weeks ago I couldn’t do 20 seconds. Now I find myself lingering in a cold shower. I feel amazing during and after. Definitely try it.

I am writing this for the soul purpose of hyping myself up before my cold shower. I will go and take my cold shower now for the same amount of time i do all my other showers and i will not once turn it off or back away from the water. I will come back and reply to this after my shower and say how it went and also confirm how i followed through with exactly what i said. : ) brb

Welp i am back and it was a little easier than i thought. What this guy said in the video was very true. This made me realize that not only do big task seem harder to achieve before u even try them it also made me realize that sometimes the pain of regret and disappoint u get from giving up on something outweighs the pain of going through a hard process and achieving it. Over these past 2 weeks i have been constantly been learning more and more about spirituality and the true power ur brain and the right mindset holds. On my next shower i plan on taking it a level up and putting the water really hot then instantly putting it to cold. I will also push myself into uncomfortable situations more often to get the same effect as this exercise. Wish anyone reading this the best u are capable of anything!

On Day 24 right now... It has become addictive. It would now be a sellout for me to turn on the hot water. Loving the alertness first thing in the morning!

I've been taking cold showers for a long time. Since my high school days and let me tell you the feeling I get when I get out is amazing. I do 10min full cold and just let my self relax and it just feels regular.

Very powerful advice..we would indeed live extraordinary lives if we could tolerate feeling bad in doing productive or risky things.

Cold showers are actually amazing. I just had a freezing cold shower and afterwards my skin and hair feels so soft and smooth. Also it can help clear your mind and reduce stress. I’m trying to lose weight and cold showers significantly help me in my weight loss journey. I can safely say that I’ll only be taking cold showers from now on. Another thing is that a cold shower feels so satisfying after exercise

The biggest lesson I take away from this talk is - "why haven't you started your own company yet?"

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

Good stuff~! I've been doing this all summer, but about the winter? Just man up? LOL

I love cold showers. I try to take 2 a day, once in the morning, once in the evening. It's harder in the winter when you are already pretty much at the point of shivering to jump into icy cold water, but that's also where the "facing your fears" is the most rewarding/beneficial. Of course you should have a way to warm up pretty quickly once you get out, or at least warm up to a safe temperature so you don't get hypothermia.

Just finding this now and I decided to take the challenge. Took my first cold shower tonight and it was breathtaking (literally). Looking forward to challenging myself in the next 30 days.

that was the chlorine !

Been taking cool showers for months, never going to take a hot shower again. Cool or cold is good, the feeling is amazing afterwards. You feel super comfortable. Also the inflammation in my body went down a lot and made me fall asleep extremely fast. If I take one in the morning I feel like I had a big coffee.

Cold showers have helped me lose weight, feel immensely invigorated, avoid illnesses except getting COVID (but due to my strong immune system) I have had worse cases of the flu, while unvaccinated. It has helped me develop spiritual and mental discipline as well and I am convinced of this!

Amazing video ! I clicked on it because I was hoping to see a video about the "top reasons why you should take cold showers" and stuff about your health. But instead I found a nice approach about the comfort zone and how can taking a cold shower can help you about it ! Great video sir !!

I did it the first time today. Profound feelings before, during and after the shower. Pretty sure it will heal my nervous system

Thanks so much for this video. It really inspired me. The timing couldn't be better. Namaste.

I LOVE COLD SHOWERS I FEEL SO ALIVE. shocks the body so hard. Breathe 6 seconds in, and 6 seconds out for as long as you want. Just focus on the breath and put your mind somewhere else like on a warm beach. Then your arms and head might go numb just keep breathing, step out for a minute and go back after a few minutes.

thank you for the lesson!

Done it, Felt amazing after you get trough the first minute, After 7 minutes i felt like been pumping muscles for an hour at gym. Its an amazing experience, and looking further to do it again

This brings back some memories. Our old and outdated gym in Jr. High School didn't have hot water and we were required to take showers after P.E. class. You got in and out as quick as you could but I can tell you that you found yourself much more alert for the rest of the day. I haven't taken a cold shower on purpose since those days.

One of the best videos, beautiful.
