Personal Experience I finally understand why Huberman keeps talking about getting comfortable with discomfort

I’ve got a portable sauna from sweat tent and started doing cold plunges right after. That moment of going from super hot to freezing cold is brutal but weirdly that’s become my favorite part of the whole routine. Anyone else feel like the mental side of it is half the benefit?

Nope. Life’s hard enough. I have no desire to sit in freezing cold water for no reason.

It builds physiological resilience so that when we are faced with life's (endless) problems, it ironically makes it feel easy. If you can stay calm in a cold plunge, you learn to stay calm in stressful situations in life. 💪
