However, you don't have to be an extreme athlete to start practicing the Wim Hof method. Begin with short, cold showers: • Start with just 15 seconds at the end of a warm shower • Gradually increase duration over time Remember to listen to your body and go at your own pace.

Your relationship with cold exposure is a reflection of your mindset. On days when you're struggling with negative self-talk, you may be tempted to skip the cold shower. But if you can face the cold despite inner resistance, you know your mind is primed for success.
