[Music] today I'm going giveing you a little bit of advice I think is going to help you if you choose to accept it now in this world there are a lot of things that we think about and we plan we plan on education plan for jobs we plan for health vacation many things and we're also looking into the future but what I'm going talk about today is looking into the present and accepting things the way they are anything that you want want it never materializes in the future it happens in the present time that means you need to learn to experience the present time and accept it as it is and how do you do that like for example if you were eating your favorite meal or your favorite dessert a lot of times you eat so quickly you don't enjoy what you're eating
but you remember the sensation of eating it or you remember the thought of wanting it but the present situation you're going through it without really thinking about the enjoyment of the present moment and in your life the only thing that you ever really have is the present the past is gone the future doesn't exist the only thing you have is your present reality so something that I'm going to suggest that you try to do after watching this video and if you don't want to do it just turn the video off and come back when you want to do it it's take a cold shower now why I take a cold shower because a cold shower is something that you probably fear it's something that you probably never done before at least not on purpose and something that you don't
want to do for a long time but I'm telling you that when you are able to stand in a flurry of cold water hitting you and turn and let it get in your hair and on your back and on your chest and just stand there and experience it you are experiencing a present moment like you've never felt before you get a chance to think about your life you think about what you're going through what it means to you and it also it really shows you that probably nothing in your day will ever be as bad as that sensation of that cold water hitting you and it really isn't that bad at all the thought is worse than the reality but once you can actually stand there for 5 minutes in a cold shower and turn around and let it hit your back and hit your face and hit your chest
you start to conquer realities start to understand that this is a present moment and it's probably the worst fear of anyone and it becomes your power it becomes your Solitude it becomes your place of Tranquility where you can just understand that life isn't really that bad that you can overcome anything if you can just stand there and take it now also as a side it's also good for your skins your hair and help you lose weight but that's not my purpose the purpose is overcoming the need to put things off into the future overcoming the need to push your present moment away and not to experience it in its fullness take a cold shower do that now I recommend at first when you get to the
shower you put it maybe to just 50% of cold and then move it up slowly slowly move it up move it up it becomes like a goal to see how far you can take it if you want to go straight into a cold shower be my guess but I recommend that you just let yourself experience the moment and then keep changing the temperature and once you get to full 100% cold water and you can stand there and you don't make any kind of repent you don't scream or or make any kind of you know faces you just let it hit you and say this is life this is the present moment you really understand it but you have to do it to understand it if you don't it's just a conversation you need to experience it but once you experience it you will never be the same so enjoy your cold shower and I will talk to you later bye-bye

The Importance of the Present
In our daily lives, we often find ourselves preoccupied with what has been or what is yet to come. However, as the speaker notes, "The only thing you have is your present reality." This statement encapsulates the essence of mindfulness—recognizing that the present moment is the only time we can truly experience life.
By focusing on the present, we can cultivate a deeper appreciation for our experiences, whether they are mundane or extraordinary. Engaging fully in the moment allows us to savor life’s offerings, leading to greater satisfaction and emotional well-being.

The Cold Shower Challenge
Taking a cold shower is more than just a physical challenge; it is a practice in confronting discomfort. As the speaker emphasizes, "Once you can actually stand there for 5 minutes in a cold shower... you start to conquer realities." This experience teaches us that many of our fears are often exaggerated in our minds.
When the cold water hits your skin, it forces you to be present, to feel, and to breathe. This immediate confrontation with discomfort can shift your perspective on other challenges in life. The cold shower becomes a sanctuary—a space where you can cultivate resilience and clarity.
Gradual Exposure
For those new to cold showers, a gradual approach can make the experience more manageable. Start with a temperature that is only partially cold—around 50%—and slowly increase it. This method allows your body to acclimate to the sensation, transforming what may initially feel overwhelming into a more controlled experience.
As you progress towards 100% cold water, you may find that each moment spent under the cold stream enhances your mental fortitude. The discomfort becomes a stepping stone to empowerment, reinforcing the idea that you can face and overcome challenges in your life.
Benefits Beyond the Shower
While the primary focus of taking cold showers is to foster mental resilience, there are additional benefits worth noting. cold exposure has been linked to improved skin health, enhanced hair vitality, and even weight loss. These physiological advantages complement the mental clarity gained through the practice.
Ultimately, the ritual of taking a cold shower serves as a reminder that embracing discomfort can lead to profound personal transformation. As the speaker states, "You need to experience it, but once you experience it, you will never be the same." This sentiment captures the essence of the cold shower challenge—a transformative experience that extends far beyond the bathroom.
