Two things I've learned from this video:
1. Cold showers are great.
2. I really want to get in shape.

Jorge Hernandez AND U CAN DO THAT IF U REALLY WANT TO! I believe in u ✨
Sara Bregaj don’t need what?

Sara Bregaj why not. I’m trying to get in shape as I want a healthy body and healthy mind. I want to live a good long life and to do that a healthy body is important.

Cold shower is like we are doing very difficult things in our life, we feel butterflies in our stomachs, your mind says: "stop it man, this is very difficult for you", but if you keep going and go ahead and finish the challenge, your mind says, "Wow, I didn't think you were so strong"
Stay hard.
Wow
Exactly
It teaches you some discipline
You motivated me bru
No cap 🧢
Stay what? 😐
I have been taking cold showers for about 5 months now and I will say it has affected my mental strength GREATLY. It has pretty much erased the anxiety I used to struggle with daily and it's almost like I unlocked a new part of my brain that gives me the strength to handle situations I never thought I had the ability to. The first 5-10 seconds are still a pain to deal with but the shock is worth it and you always feel better after. I definitely recommend trying it if you struggle with anxiety.
@Elena P. you’ll get the benefits either way but I will say that if you do it at night, you’ll likely build greater resilience
Also:
-It makes you faster in the shower
-Makes you put your clothes on faster
-gives you a soothing feeling after your done changing
-you feel proud
True.
True!

But yet, every summer, we jump in that cold pool. Starting with a hesitation, a flinch, but upon being in the cold pool for a few minutes, it feels good. We feel refreshed from the heat of the sun, and our body exerts heat from our heart rate rising from swimming. Then comes another, forgotten in the moment, flinch. Getting out of the pool, back into the heat, and only feeling the breeze that graces our skin raising goose bumps and shivers. Wild.

The best thing is when you come out of the shower and it’s warmer instead of colder.
Ikr, a bunch of questionably smart people in the comments writing "But I'm always cold when I get out of my warm shower". Yikes.
my favorite lol it sucks though cause sometimes u sweat right after
Trending Videos that’s how u know it’s cold
My house is freezing though so it's not much warmer lol
Yeah that shit feels so weird
When you mentioned "this is the least enjoyable moment of my day" it made me think about one of the best benefits of cold showers. By doing that uncomfortable thing 1st thing in the morning, you get a hard part of the day done, which leaves you feeling more confident for the rest of the day.
As a challenge I took cold showers for about 7 months. The most valuable thing I got from it was that I can do it, and not many CAN do it. Highly recommend it to those wanting to become more mentally tough.
You are mentally tough just for having an open mind, and listening to yourself without doubt that you are or aren’t doing something such as changing habits or taking cold water rather than hot. Not for the action, but for being able to clear your mind. Most people are bound in this illusion program they set up for themselves and always have agitated minds. Letting go is the greatest yet most challenging thing one can do. You have to literally let go of everything in your past to awaken into spirituality through the crown. ‘Let go of the persona you manifested and become the one who manifested the persona’. Get it?
After a while you get use to it and it's no longer a challenge.
Anyone can do it but most don't want to and won't do it. If someone can find a strong enough reason to do it then they will do it because anyone yes anyone can do it.
@@skywalker9770 thats usually what makes a strong mind. doing something you dont want to do. dont wanna work out? force yourself to workout. dont wanna take a cold shower? take a cold shower. people have been too accustomed in staying in there comfort zone. I too love staying in my comfort zone, but i know its bad for me.
And thank you for showing temperatures also in Celsius.
Jonas f I thought he said the water will be 40 degrees Celsius
I was so happy went i saw that hahah
I was getting ready to convert Fº to Cº in google when I saw that haha
Yeah when he said 61° F that's sounds really hot but it's only 16°
What season was this? My shower is 28°C on full cold... Summer in South Africa!

Take a cold shower
My first 2 cold showers were TERRIBLE but during my 3rd shower, I realized something. There’s a state of mind that you have to enter and lock on to when you hop in the freezing shower. It’s basically ignoring any and every thought/feeling of panic that pops up in your mind while you’re in the shower (thoughts like “damn this is cold!”). I learned to become unemotional like a rock and pay the water no mind and the showers became super easy. After that moment of realization, I thought “Let me start using the rock state of mind (that I use in cold showers) in my day to day life” and ever since then, I’ve been wayyy calmer and not so emotional. Act like a rock! 🪨
I like your thinking, (the rock) it saves a lot of stressing. I am two days into the cold showers to try and make me sleep better.
Yea it's called grey rock method

@@samuelflimel2207 I was doing cold showers about 2 months ago, it lasted for 3 weeks and towards the end I could shower normally without shivering or shaking, I stopped doing it because a warm shower is relaxing before work, I wake up 45 min extra just to stand in the shower, once I get home from work the only thing I enjoy is eating dinner and sleeping idk why I typed all this I’m high
Imagine having a life so good that you had to invent torture for yourself just to feel alive. GOALS!
Wow that is so true

It has been happening like this for a long time. Even the stoics practiced "voluntary discomfort" in various ways, and this was over 2,000 years ago. Comfort is relative, but it's very real.
First world problems
I took a cold shower and went into third stage hypothermia. Felt really good.
It's actually called hyperventilation. When cold water hits you, that drastic change in tempreture causes you to go into panic mode. This results in heavy and rapid breathing, which could result in taking in too much oxygen, or fainting.
Swag 193 hush because we’re talking about temperatures
Swag 193 I only get hyperventilation when it’s really hot q
Swag 193 Yeah, and it’s also called “temperature.”
Swag 193 Hypothermia is when the body loses heat faster than it can produce heat, causing a dangerously low body temperature. It makes sense what he said, we’re not talking about hyperventilation.
When he said "wakes you the fuck up" I felt that
Cold showers never get easier, you just get stronger.

@William Chambers it's not hypothermia. Your body forces you to take a deep breath to fight the cold. Hypothermia comes later.
He could just be taking warm showers and we wouldn’t know, he just flinches when he walks in
Nah you can’t see steam rising
What would be the point? He'd probably get MORE clicks by trashing cold showers since he'd be going against the trend and pepper love to look for naysayers on CZcams!
Then that's on him. Cold showers have great benefits
I start warm and slowly go to cold, did the first time today. Might try beginning with cold sometime!
edit: sometimes I go all cold, but most is 80% hot and then I finish with cold! when I turn off the shower and do a 2min meditation, it's pretty good =)
I use hot water...but sometimes mom won't allow to boil water (boil cuz the water heater broke)...so I bath in cold water and its actually okay...maybe I will start again...and I actually go straight into cold water...cuz 2nd way u can feel anxious or something b4 the water hits each part of the body so I just go straight in and let the water hit all at once so I won't be anxious for each part
Naw just start off hot then switch to completely cold. You don't even need it to do it long just 10 seconds is enough

AWESOME. Love the entire concept of preparing yourself for the flinch in the real world. This reminded me of the Stoic philosophy of the obstacle being the way. There is so much reward in doing difficult things, rather than always looking for an easier way. Changes your entire outlook on life. Makes you tougher and more compassionate at the same time. I have survived and even thrived overseas in really difficult situations because I knew how to get my mind in the right place. You are a great example to others.
Been taking cold showers for almost three months, it’s helped me to do something that I’ve always wanted to do and that is to walk into the cold Atlantic sea for a swim without any huffing and puffing. I now do this on a regular basis and I love it!!! Still cold showering too.
I see what you did here. You picked the shortest month 😉
hahaha but I think he mentioned in his IG that since Feb has only 28 days, he will be extending the challenge until march 2 or 3.

Dude I live in Pakistan and I take cold shower in winter and I fell really good so many months I don't got time to make hot water so I do cold water shower and I start workout at home winter is coming and it will make more strong
Me: Ughhhh I don’t wanna get in the showerrrrrrr
Also me: stays in the shower for 5 years once I get in
I have found that sometimes the water gets “warm” at times but when water hits another part of my body it’s cold again
Yeah I feel this specially on the chest.
That may be due to vasoconstriction, where your blood vessels constrict as a response to being exposed to fairly low temperatures. The parts you feel coldest are probably the ones that haven't had this fully applied. I am no medical professional and I am just guessing
@@Degaliuss I think it has to do with the way the water hits your skin while showering. Maybe it kinda numbs that part of your body. I say this because I feel the water gets "warm" when I shower and stay in the same position for a little bit but this doesn't happen when I get into a swiming pool with cold water for example.
@@reymagnusneeto5207 It definitely isn't only due to numbness

I have this same feeling you described every single day, in the warm shower about to turn it as cold as it gets for 5 mins. I really liked the correlation to “the Flinch” it’s perfect! It’s simple, in those moments we decide if we will get in or get out. it’s up to us!

I’ve been taking cold showers for about a week now.
Not gonna lie, they always suck. Honestly, if you had told me a month ago that I would even consider taking cold showers, I would have laughed in your face.
But I get it now.
It’s not about the cold showers.
It’s about forcing myself to do things I don’t want to do. I want to be a better person but in order to grow, I’ve got to get used to putting myself in situations I don’t want to be in. As uncomfortable and ridiculous as it sounds, If I can’t force myself to do something as simple as take a cold shower, how can I expect myself to have the discipline to become the person I wanna be? It’s drastic but I wanna do it despite knowing I don’t have to.
It's the right way of thinking.
Perfect example
Preach
damn.
Pimp King it’s highly uncomfortable
I do have one more way, the way I do it
I just take handful of water and splash it over my body for 3 times, after that I get directly into the shower.
Splashing water 3 times does:
1. Diverts my mind from the fear of cold water.
2. Makes me more confident about doing this.
3. Makes me get ready before going into.
I know it might be dumbest way to do so, but it's all about tricking your mind to do tough things like these.
I would like to thank Matt for bringing up this video.

Watching the video motivated me to take on the challenge myself, and I can say it was really cool.
My personal strat for cold showers is to let the cold water hit my feet legs and lower body for a few seconds then put my head and body under, works every time
Works better to submit to the cold slowly rather than rush into it. That’s the idea you’re referring to right?
But he said that's the coward way
@@Etrehumain123 Matt like the drama…he says #2 is to start with the head and then go to the rest of the body (also coward) but the back is the worst part because we have so many nerves there.
I think starting at the feet would be easier. And who cares if someone thinks you’re a coward?😂 go for it!
Cold showers are also better for water conservation. Because hot showers are so comfortable I end up wasting a little too much water.
Love the vibes you send out Matt. They've helped me with my videos.

I've been having cold showers since June last year. It's the first winter in my life when I've not been I'll. I'm 38.
Dagum autocorrect
Well done
I have had the same experience this past winter
Same !💪💪
Almost the same time i've been having!! Almost a year without a single hot bath and i'm loving it, sometimes it's f**king hard but I'm not giving up, i'll keep doing this till i can it's part of my life now, i'm not even like "oh shit it's the cold bath time" anymore, it's just bath (and i'm luck to live in Brazil in a very tropical weather state, so here's never thaat cold even with the winter currently going on...)
I miss the hyper ventilating, the uncomfortable feeling of being in cold water, that was gone on the 3rd day, now I hop in cold water with no reaction for 20+ minutes. Haven’t showered in warm water in a few months.
I absolutely love your material my dude!!! Videos are very well done and eye openers. I'm starting my 30 days of cold showers today!! I've done something similar before(like 7 days tops) but never 30 so im kind of excited to see how it goes!! This sort of challenge plus eating well and exercise should really get me back on track. Thanks a lot man your an inspiration for sure!!
explain to me bud? also how do i write to your admin im new to that!
“Cold showers are hot right now”

As someone who has done this for just over 14 months everyday, I can attest that neither the flinch, nor the discomfort will disappear.
thank you. how cold water do u use iw ant to do this and i only use the cold shower part but jesus christ its so cold
I was gonna say, this this this this. I’ve consistently done cold showers since high school (I’m about to graduate college now). The flinch will always be there, the first ten-fifteen seconds will always be painful.
Has it changed my life? I mean, I’ve been doing it for four years. I don’t think my personality changed much since high school. Still that awkward kid that turns annoying once you get to know him. Sometimes I’m productive, but other times I’m still lazy. I’ve done some interesting things though, like asking a straight guy out and getting flat out rejected, or taking two classes at an Ivy League school that was adjacent to mine. I’ve also texted people some really mean things when I felt angry at them. Those didn’t end well. Did I become more impulsive?
What was I getting at? Oh, the cold showers thing. Nah, not too life changing. I guess my skin and hair look better, although I wouldn’t be able to tell. Idk, it makes the rest of the day feel better when you start off being extremely physically uncomfortable. Everything also feels warm after you leave it, which honestly feels great, too. I’ll let you know when I become president or something after doing these for another four years, lol.
jjsdl really enjoyed this more realistic response lol
I highly doubt these supposed theories of “discomfort exposure,” on trivial things like cold showers. Ironically, if the person that starts taking cold showers also believes they have a limited willpower reserve, this action will probably add onto resistance to follow through with other habits they’re trying to ingrain throughout their day.
I think if one were to make themselves uncomfortable, you’re better just waking up early and going for a run. Much more evidence on aerobic exercise and brain health.
jjsdl maybe its about the mindset. Every time i got out of the shower i felt fresh and like I’ve had the strength to get out of my comfort zone once again. Everything can be impacted positive on your brain if you define it like that. For the last 3 months I’ve never felt better in my life. It completely changed my perspective on things. Like i would be more productive with things and dodge procrastination as much as possible. If you are a reader and trying to decide if cold showers are really for you just do it. There is nothing to lose and always something to gain from doing something different.
Sometimes I make myself very excited or motivated to take cold showers and so I don't feel any discomfort (the adrenaline probably helps quite a bit), but on the days that I feel very unmotivated, I still have to concentrate on my breathing and after like 10 seconds, the shock goes away. I usually do it in around 40 Fahrenheit and my head starts hurting when I wash my shampoo off.
this is amazing. Thank you for this.

@Kathryn Mercier Right but your body adapts like you said and produces more. Also, everyone should be getting sufficient exercise. If you don't have to shower, you didn't work. (Or you like staying dirty either way). The only reason your comment has upvote is because you handed the lazy people an excuse and enabled them.
@Kathryn Mercier The exercise doesn't always have to be lifting weights. It can be light exercise too (which SHOULD be done every day).
When you live in a hot city, a shower is mandatory or else you go to bed all sweaty and greasy, not comfortable at all. I actually don't know many people who don't shower every day, we almost all do!
I've been taking cold showers for a solid year now since i started my fitness journey and i've felt soo much improvement over the time, i definitely noticed i can endure winters alot better and it's improved me mentally and physically as well.
@Elena P. Everyday i take strict cold showers, even after work and before the gym i'll usually take a cold shower and head out.
The 'cowards way' still makes you stronger and provides the same benefits. Start hot then instead of easing in just switch to straight coldest setting. Its easier and hot showers have their own benefits as well especially when if you workout regularly. Best of both worlds and you only need to stay in that cold for 15-20 seconds.
Are cold showers good if you workout?
@@benaw4603 THEYRE the best showers if you workout. All athletes take ice baths after games and workouts

Hot showers are better for recovery
Next challenge: golden showers for 30 days.
No no no no no no no nonononono no NO NO NO NO NOOOO!!!!!

Might as well just go homeless
I’ll see if I can make one
R. Kelly be like 🌚
This whole video seemed bigger than just taking cold showers
Nigga even did a whole research on it lol
Jesus saves. Find Him quickly.
Definitely lmao
Wow it seems almost as if that was the point
@@amale2689 lmaooo
There is no coward way, ending with a cold shower is always good!
I do the “cowards way” and I feel great afterwards
amazing and useful
thank you😍
I do it for the skin benefits. My back acne and shoulder acne is pretty much gone. Yes it works.
Awesome. This is another reason for me to take cold showers.
aggsimalone I take lukewarm showers- cause we all know warm cleans better, but I finish off with a gradual(10 seconds) increase to cold on my hair and face. I’ve been doing it for 15 years and my skin has benefited from it for sure. I told my friend to do it and within two days his skin started clearing up, less bags on eyes on morning and much more benefits.
no way?!
Ong?
Huh so your acne is gone...I’m gonna try that because I have acne too in the shoulders
I took cold showers everyday for 16 years. Came to the U.S. and learned there was something called a “hot shower”. So much for advancement.
You got that right, respect your honesty too. Seems like everything is a new find in 2019. Most of the trendy stuff, has been around forever. Us dinosaurs and others know that!
Jack Johnson I guess the real human heroes were the ‘dinosaurs’.
Where were u?
Derick Shalo sameee
Totally agree man! These millenials are just fucking batshit stupid. It's all exciting and very easy to do something knowing you have options (the hot water tap), but the true test is adapting to a situation where that easy option doesn't exist and you are forced to accept it.
It most definitely does not only last a second "the flinch and relax"! It takes me 2 solid minutes to relax into it... I've been taking cold showers for 4 months for 3 minutes a day.
It really is a great help for depression and anxiety, I suffer with BPD and find it a great help 👍
Done this for 30 days today. I did it every morning, not going from warm water to cold water, i just had it on cold water for the whole 30 days. I didnt take warm 1 shower. I can say that it was an interesting experience. My body managed to tolerate the cold better as each day passed. Now i can jump into a cold shower with little to no discomfort.
If you are planning on doing the same, remember that its just a shower. Its not that bad.
Although the experience has beeb great i can honestly say that th best part was taking my first warm shower...
This is bringing back memories of having to take cold showers after swim practice before school, not because we wanted to, but because we had no hot water.
For me it brought back memories of growing up & the shower going cold midway through because someone in the house was also using hot water. Then you'd yell as loud as you could "DON'T USE THE WATER". It was great. We didn't have a lot of hot water.
Matt D'Avella same here!

"Cold showers are so hot right now"
Yeah I cringed a little
Yeah nice stolen joke

Nice name
Now you inspire me to do it @MattDavella !

I remember this being mentioned nearly a year ago in one of his vids.

That is so funny!!! 😂
Great video - one of the psychological theories on this is Stress and Adaptation Theory: This theory suggests that exposing oneself to controlled stressors can lead to adaptation and increased resilience. 👍
I thank God that I managed to find such content. The fun starts on Monday, as an athlete I am used to taking cold showers only after hard training and as a recovery. Continue to succeed in everything you do.
Ha, caught this 41 seconds after upload. Just wanna say dude, your video on getting up early had a HUGE impact on my life. Been getting up at 5.15 consistently now for a few months.
Amazing!

Cold showers make me feel clean...like I'm purifying myself ❄🌊💧
That’s how I feel about hot showers. If my skin doesn’t feel like it’s going to melt off, I’m not clean. 😂
Brooke B Hot showers,especially for long periods of time,are proven to be unhealthy since they dry out your skin and take away healthy bacteria.It can even weaken your immune system.
@@malacki6554
I completely agree...it ages you.
BlackRadiance A cold shower is good for you, it helps your blood circulation, but a freezing cold bath can shock you.
@@cyphvirtu how cold would the water have to be to be unhealthy?
Dude I'm crazy the last couple days I been trying out cold showers and my whole family calls me crazy

@@ishanmuthu5434 yessir
@@ishanmuthu5434 when I’m done with my showers, I can see steam coming off of me. Maybe I should try this cold shower thing.
same homie
The best thing about cold showers is that you come out refreshed and minty cool. It is a good feeling. :)
im sure cold showers are nice but nothing beats a steaming warm shower on a cold day!
@@zakbarakat6767 the real torture is getting a cold shower IN cold weather 😁
like 5 gum
White Emerald_ yea I hate getting out of hot showers and felling really hot
idk, i get extremely cold after a hot shower but if i take a body numbing cold shower i feel amazing after.
I thought for a second you will be spending 30 days in a cold shower
Brain haha same
Brain same
Me too
Only for a second
Your username is brain so it’s kinda ironic😂😂 not hate tho because I thought the same thing for a second
Who else thought he was floating in the air in the thumbnail?😂
The water heater went out - tonight is my second cold shower, the repair person can't make it out until tomorrow. Your video came up in my search to psych myself up for tonight -- I'm trying to see it as a learning experience. And they say it's good for anti-aging :)
I take morning showers, I usually take hot showers, but this video has inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and try something new.
Thank you.
I showed this comment to a fly... Well they only live 3 days but I hope it learned something
LemonBoy same
SAAAAAME i always take a hot shower before going to school and i want to try it out but i live in the uk so my body gets cold after a really hot shower soo a cold shower wouldn't be the best idea
Slayden Rodrigues it would better so that u adjust to the weather
It’s a trap
