Uncomfortable Situations
If you haven't been to Texas in the winter then just know that since we have high humidity the temp can feel extremely colder than it actually is. This past weekend there were once again weather reports about ice and what not. So I said perfect! This would give me the opportunity to not only wake up at a time I'd rather be sleep but also to expose my body to the elements.
The rush you get from exposing your body to cold temperatures is hard to describe without feeling it for yourself. It's a surge of energy. Your blood starts rushing through your body in order to try to heat your body up. The key is to control your breathing and take deep breaths. You should try to suck in as much oxygen as possible. I promise it helps. I've been taking cold showers for over a year now and actually going outside in these kinds of temps is just another way for me to put myself in uncomfortable situations. It's all mental. You are much bigger than the cold.Would you do this challenge?
@humanearl,
Now your body is accepting this challenge after a series of cold showers! But unfortunately mine is not like that :D
Cheers~
I'm used to it now. Yepp.
You are a courageous soul @humanearl! And I am sure you are quite right; being in the cold strengthens the body — it's much like the Tibetan monks who sit and meditate in the snow, high in the Himalayas. They don't get cold, and they hardly ever get ill, either.
The subtext in your message, for me, is that there were no promises offered that life is going to be easy or comfortable so we have to be ready to take things as they come for us.
Bright Blessings!
The way you read it is right. We are not entitled to a "good" life. This is why I train my mind to deal with not only life's struggles now but the times we are headed in.
Cold can kill
With extreme cold weather comes health hazards like increased risk of heart attacks, frostbite to mention a few.
Cold can heal
Just playing on my keypads though...☺️. Nice post @humanearl
Isn't that crazy how it can do both? It's cools to me.
I'm fan of Game of Thrones and I'll name you King of the North. Haha. Hello Jon Snow. Conquering the cold is one of the most terrifying things for me. Haha. I, too, live in a cold temperature place here in the Philippines and every morning is a challenge for me. But I overcame it by taking a bath with no heater. My body get used to the cold. And I barely feel it while taking a bath. Hahaha. Nice post brother. Thanks for the support man. I will be posting pizza tomorrow. Haha. Hope you check it out. Thank you!
Haha. I haven't seen G.O.T. Ahh pizza! Send me a link when you post it.
Hahaha. You should see it man! Haha. I will brother. Haha. But how?
Just copy and paste the url of your post and include it in a comment.
Okay brother. I will keep that in mind. Haha. Thank you. You can also check my other posts. ;) I post almost food and some love letters and past experiences. :) check it our bro. Haha. Thank you
When im fighting the cold i always loose, i beginn to shake. But like you said just accepting it, will make your body handle this situation.
Chears bro!
And I know Berlin is a icebox in the winter. Does it get that cold in Bayern?
For sure! Spezialy the Mountain side ;)
Man you have got nerves of steel and your motivation level is awesome. You are trying every time a new experiment to amaze your followers.
I appreciate your will of endurance and wisdom of your mind.
I love that quote. That's why I say it is all mental.
I would to named you..The Conqueror of the cold..I feel all my bones are frozen when i saw your video..Godd bless you.
Lol. Great name. I would like to try even colder weather and see how I would do.
I'm from Texas and really hate the cold weather. I can't stand even getting out of the shower when its cold. I don't know if you know who the life coach Tony Robbins is, but he has a morning routine where he sits in an extra hot sauna for 5 minutes and then dips himself into a pool of 18 degree water. Supposedly it a finnish tradition that helps keep your heart healthy.
I know Tony. I don't listen to him though. Only heard of soundbites. The alternating between hot and cold is another method too.
@humanreal, I saw you uploaded Dtube video of Texas winter season. Its rough winds here. Cold temperature very difficult to face. I have never experience about winter season's temperature coz my country has only summer. But I can give some suggestions for solve this cold condition. I saw from you, you are more healthy and fit , the more easily your body can cope with these stresses. I think a good technique to stay warm in a cold climate is by the use of the inner furnace to generate heat from within.This is your body's way of telling you it needs more fuel to keep warm. If you can put up with constantly feeling cold, it's a possible way of losing weight. Probably cold weather can be increase heart-attack risky. When we are cold your body reduces the circulation to the extremities and skin surface. This increases the internal blood pressure. Also you can do fast walking or jogging in fact. It increase inside of body temperature.
Yepp. Being in the cold helps to lose a certain kind of body fat. Good stuff you mentioned.
Yep exactly. Thank you..
Happy Valentine Day my friend @humanearl.
O my!haha I think I can't really do the challenge becaused I can't stand with cold temperature. This is good for individual who can take it but this can caused HYPOTHERMIA that if you can't bear with it this can lead to death..
No worries. I know it's difficult for some.
Wow dunno how you do this bro but I really hate cold showers. It makes me sick. I have always hated it since I was a kid.
Coming out in the cold is something I coukd try out but having the cold water toch my body might just kill me...hehehe
Yea cold showers are not for everyone. No worries. Even cold air can give you great benefits.
Wow, have never thought cold or cold shower could have a positive effect on the body, thanks for adding another knowledge to me, I will surely try this and see the difference in my body. Thanks @humanearl
Here is a great resource on how this is beneficial. You wouldn't think of it that way but it's surprising.

This is a strong video
You have learned to be intolerant of the cold. This can be compared to know what? This can be compared to the fact that under the cold you mean your life's problems and difficulties. But you show yourself and all of us that you can get used to all life's difficulties! Every problem can be overcome. It is necessary to take the small step to meet your place and not be afraid of anything!
Thank you for motivating me with this! I have very difficult times now
I hope things improve for you. This is why I want to continue motivating others because we all deal with tough life problems.
I think excess exposure to cold climate may be harmful for our body. Please take care bro.
I agree. In excess.
Many beautiful motivational posts, I always pay attention to your posts, because your post contains many important information that is very valuable to me....
Thanks for that. I appreciate it.
The winter in Texas uh? I can only imagine as I stay in the tropics.
About the cold killing and healing, you are very correct. There's a saying where I hail from that
Texas in the winter can be stinging cold.
Happy Valentine's Day to my loving friend @humanearl sir......

So much love to share,.. and Yes,... with the one who appriciate it everytime
Thanks for the support
After #coldshower now cold in a different form is making you immune.
I tried cold shower many times in past after reading your blog.
But I believe whatever be the case, waking up early in the morning gives a different form of energy to our body altogether.
Thank you and Have a great day.
Glad you tried it at least.
Internally our body maintain a certain temperature and if cold is being resisted by body upto certain extent it is good for health as it will make the pumping of blood more so as to maintain the body temperature but again this theory hold good upto a certain limit.
Thank you...steem on and stay blissful....
Of course too much cold can harm you.
You just got to live each moment without worrying about its outcome :D learning many life skills from you : )
I try to live that way. Thanks for the encouragement.
Haha. It's not that bad.
COLD is GOLD
But it depends upon individual body resistances and those who can resist cold are definitely stronger than the other in terms of resistances of body.
Such wisdom. It's fitting though.
Мужик ты сумасшедший! Но мне это нравится :)
I also like to watch you from day to day tempering yourself, temper your body and your mind. You're getting stronger. The main thing in the life of any person is movement, and this movement must be forward. Even if it is slow - you must continue.
You and America are now quite cold, this winter surprised you very much. But we in the Slavic countries - it was always very cold and there was a lot of snow. Now we have little snow and the winter has become very warm. What does this tell us? The fact that the world is changing climatic zones. This is bad.
But tempering yourself to the cold is good, your body must get used to the changes and inconvenience. This is useful.
Wow I didn't know it was getting warmer over there. I think there's much evidence for global climate change.
I also love what you wrote in your language. It's Russian right?
Yes, the first line is written in Russian
I thus expressed my emotions from watching your video, I liked it
before winter was much colder here. In the new year (December 31), snow always rejoiced - now the last 2 or 3 years we do not have snow for the new year. Snow appeared relatively recently - less than a month ago. But this happens cyclically, the temperature rises and the snow melts. The day passes and the temperature drops - the snow falls back.
well buddy your cold shower challenge was quite great by the way !& yes buddy every little step makes the way more easier and great in the coming times !
It helps to get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself. I think it helps to deal with hard times in life.
Every situation that is out of comfort zone does indeed makes one to be stronger than before !
Keep it going buddy !
