I am homeless, I live in my car. After losing my young mother suddenly to death, my husband leaving me unexpectedly, being forced to sell my home after divorce, losing a lucrative job I'd fought for, and losing my extended family who turned their backs on my children and I after my mother's death in 2023... I didn't care to live, but I couldn't take my life. I had no will to fight to live...I didn't care one way or another about life...as a matter of fact, I beckoned death...he didn't come for me. I packed my car and left the town that I grew up in and moved to Texas, where I drive Uber and live in my car and try my best to LIVE again. Up until now, I've only gone through the motions of life. Meaning, I feel nothing, not even pain, or the bad emotions. I just tried the thing where Wim said exhale and hold your breath, and from first try, my heart BEAT thunderously and I felt SHOCK. 2nd time my brain recalled all the trauma of last year in 2 seconds, and tears welled up in my eyes. 3rd time, I was balling, crying so deeply...like I've never cried before in my life...and now I FEEL EVERYTHING!! My mind seems UNBLOCKED!! I can THINK, FEEL,....EXIST RIGHT HERE WHERE MY FEET ARE. whereas before, life felt unreal...like I was gone...not here!.. I'm intrigued!! How can I do more with this?

Winter is a season that often brings a deep sense of gratitude for its unique beauty and profound quietude. The cold, crisp air carries a refreshing clarity, and the blanket of snow that often covers the landscape transforms everything into a serene, white wonderland. This season encourages us to slow down, offering a time for reflection and introspection as the world outside rests. The warmth of a cozy home becomes more appreciated, and the joys of simple pleasures, like sipping hot cocoa by a crackling fire or watching snowflakes drift gently from the sky, feel even more special. Winter's chill fosters a closeness among loved ones, as we gather together for warmth and comfort. It’s a time that reminds us of the importance of rest and renewal, providing a natural pause that allows us to be thankful for the quiet moments and the gentle beauty of a world at peace.

Wim Hof is amazing! For four years I am struggling with depression. I took cold showers for 3 months and my mind was better than ever. I took increasingly colder showers until it was only cold water, for 10 minutes every day. I started to automatically do breathing exercises because of the shock. The breathing exercises are the ones increasing the body temperature. It was amazing. I stopped because something personal happened and I didn't have the energy to take cold showers anymore. When I was taking them, my body temperature increased in anticipation of my cold showers, I know it may seem crazy, but I was yelling in the shower and I could feel my cortizol level decreasing (stress hormone). When I think now of my cold showers I remember how it would calm me greatly. Today I will start my cold showers again. Healing comes in cycles, it's ok to to have ups and downs. Thank you Wim Hof!

Luckily, my spouse and I were able to pay off our mortgage early. We took the money we were spending to accelerate our mortgage repayment and invested it right away while we were both still working. We were able to retire early after accumulating what would have been our home payment for over 7 years and maxing out our 401K/403B plans. Thankfully, both of our parents taught in us the importance of living within our means.

I came across wims video on KZfaq and was desperate to stop these attacks I would of tried anything (which I did but nothing worked) I opened up to this. A video that said never get sick again. That day after the breathing exercises and cold water therapy I went from attacks every day to 1 or 2 a year and I can deal with them because of wims method. If you suffer, try it.

I started cold showers in the winter when my Father was put into hospice. I didnt want anything repressed. He meant more to me that i couldve ever imagined. i thought it was only right that i never short changed my emotions for him. The cold and active breathing taught me to consciously confront all the feelings inside and out. I leaned into the cold and bathed in all emotions. I embraced it all while actively letting all the thoughts and feelings flow through me. Although i know ill always miss him, it really helped me through each of those days all the way through to months afterwards.

Steve, listening to Wim about his beautiful wife who committed suicide, it dawned on me that she may have had severe post partum depression. This incident, his grief traumatised him to such an extent that he can withstand intense cold. I may be wrong but listen to the pain in his voice, it's real.

@mygirldarby Күн бұрын

He said she had schizophrenia. She was a squatter when he met her. Many squatters (obviously not all) have severe mental illness and/or drug addiction. He said his wife had schizophrenia and bipolar, which today is called schizoaffective disorder. That combination of mental illnesses is very devastating with a high rate of suicide. Wim said she wanted to have another child but he told her she had to get mentally healthy first. A year later she committed suicide. Their youngest child was 7 years old at the time of her death. It wasn't postpartum depression in her case, although that can be a serious mental illness as well.

There are certain types of pain that are not ever fully gone from your psyche and soul. You learn ways to cope with and overcome the trauma, even turn some of it around and help others heal from their trauma or pain. In other words the parts of your experience that you learn to heal and live with in a healthy and productive way becomes part of who you are. Don’t try to get rid of the trauma or pain. Learn how you can heal from it and help others to find some inner peace. We are all different people and we all need unique paths to heal. You have to try things until you find what works for you

Finally our guy is in. It is amazing that you invited him in! Thank you for doing it and keep going, you are showing the world that our mind and health are connected. You are literally showing the world what fascinating creatures are we, the humans. Incredibly adaptable and able to learn. We motivate ourselves via each other. We can become stronger together, despite wars, despite negativity, despite anything dark in this world.

Thank you for this incredible insight today to remind us that we have everything we need already inside of us! The world does not want us to know who we are. Thank the Lord for this man. He has proven and shown that the worse thing that can happen in your life does not have the ability to break you. We all have a choice in life no matter the circumstances. WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE!

To be honest, when this interview started off, I wanted to click off because Hof seemed a bit too "crazy" for lack of a better word; I was skeptical. But the more I listened, the less skeptical I got - I checked out the studies, they're accurate and reliable... It all seems so far fetched but it's actually true. This is mind blowing.

Despite of all his Guinness world records, ability to change his immune system response through pranayama and cold immersions.. he is still caring a grief of the loss of his wife… that trauma is so deep in him that it makes me think he is blaming himself for losing her. All his achievements seems to be a way to either “punish” himself or distract through the process..Anyway, amazing interview @TheDiaryOfACEO as well as the one with Steve-O

@sheilaclancy2355 Күн бұрын

Yes i agree that he still has grief regarding his wife. No one method has all the answers, but he is definitely correct about saying that human beings have a tremendous potential and we know nothing about it. We have the power through breathing to activate the parasympathetic system which relaxes and repairs. Also the awareness of the power of words is astonishing, every world resonates in the body and effects the biochemical mechanics of all the systems of the body. So we have to tap into this potential, I certainly have done it.

It is somewhat similar to taking magic truffles for example that changes neurochemistry in a similar way. It temporarily inhibits the prefrontal cortex which usually guards our "scary" emotions firmly. When we don't have that for a moment, we regain access to it.

These are the exact methods I used to give birth with out medical assistance 3 times. Using your voice actually refocuses pain. Deep breathing and counting through contractions knowing they will end after I reach 100 so every digit brings you closer to the end of the pain... mind over matter and knowing you are a part of nature and participating in the natural process via your amazing human body! Its so simple but you have to stay present with yourself.
