Cold immersion and exercise
with the assistance of psychological flexibility and metaphor
create greater resiliency in life’s difficult situations.
Have you ever been held back by procrastination?
You’ve wanted to “dive in” and make some changes in your life, but found yourself putting it off until tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow…
Have you been curious about getting into cold immersion, but have hesitated so far?
Have you seen people taking courageous leaps into icy water - felt intrigued - but said “I could never do that?”
Let’s take a look at how intentionally introducing ourselves to controlled stressful situations (such as cold immersion) can be used to develop our resiliency and willingness to step through difficult life situations.
We’ll discuss:
the paradoxical effects of seeking comfort
psychological flexibility in our exposure to stress.
practices that deepen presence and help us separate from our painful thoughts.
Using metaphors from experiments with stress to help in other life situations.
We’ll also dive into the beneficial, adaptive effects of cold immersion and exercise.
Using the cold you can:
Learn to keep perspective when stressful situations arise
Learn to make choices led from a wiser part of yourself that is capable of being unfazed by the circumstances around you.
Tap into your inner resources for resiliency and feeling truly alive.
Understand how the process of immersion and exposure can also be applied to exercise as well as any desired activity that brings up hesitancy and resistance.
Make friends with that part of you that holds you back from pursuing the changes you dream of, and learn to take more meaningful steps toward those goals with less stress.
This meeting will give you resources and a blueprint for developing a practice of resiliency and mindfulness whether it’s in cold immersion, or exercise, or some other desired activity.
