Deep dives

Building resilience through deliberate cold exposure

Deliberate cold exposure can be used to build mental resilience and toughness. By setting specific goals, such as counting the number of 'walls' you overcome in the cold, you can gradually increase your tolerance and stay in the uncomfortable environment for longer periods of time. The key is to recognize and push through the resistance you feel and gradually challenge yourself more over time. This protocol helps develop the ability to remain calm and maintain mental clarity in stressful situations in real life.
