One of the great things about nature is that is brings us back to our roots. Embracing nature in all it's fullness means that we get to experience both the things that we love and also the things that feel a bit uncomfortable - like changes in weather and temperatures.
That is where the cold is being used by people all over the world - made popular in recent times by Wim Hoff. Whether it's cold showers or cold water dips and swimming, one of the great benefits is getting used to making choices to feeling a little 'uncomfortable' learning to deal with that small stress of uncomfortableness and building resilience through a choice you are making.
Many other stresses in our lives feel like the come on us, attack us - rather than us choosing the stress. The cold is a great example where we can start to take back control of the stress that we feel, build resilience to it by getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.
The video below give a little insight into the breathing we use to manage the 'stress' of the cold in order to help build resilience.
