hey guys Sam Reigns here with another
video and just like the lower third
said I am making a sign, it's a visual
aid and primarily it's an attempt that
me helping you guys remember many of the
concepts in this video and associate
certain things to certain colors it's an
experiment hopefully it's effective if
not I'll probably still do it because it
gives me an excuse to use my paints and
it helps me get some practice in and
when writing letters with acrylics.
here I'm using acrylic on a foam board
the reason being is... the markers that I
bought weren't showing too well so I
said hey fuck it I've got some acrylics
that I haven't really put to use and so
here it is. we're gonna be discussing the
cold shower challenge as it says, and I
made it this really nice dark blue and
then I went over the letters again so
that you guys could get that really nice
cold kind of feeling from the blue it's
almost as if the letters themselves are cold
to anyone that can't tell, this video is
sped up no I don't paint that fast it's
five times sped up because that's how
much it sucked, but I did my best for you
guys I hope you guys liked it i retraced
every letter at least twice and then at least twice
at the end I add a reminder for you guys to
subscribe to me in some very expensive red
cadmium free paint it's a liquitex
heavy body and you guys can see by just
how bright and powerful that red is the
quality is very different from the blue paint
it's not terrible quality but I've paid
maybe 20 bucks for a pack (VS $25 for a tube of red).
hey guys Sam Reigns back again with another video thank!
you for joining me today it's a really
nice day out today in New York
thank God. It feels like spring has finally
come as you guys can tell by the
description thumbnail, title, or even this
awesome ghetto red sign that I made with
some acrylic paints we're gonna be
talking about the cold shower challenge.
I know what you guys are thinking
anything with the word challenge in it
can't be good for you. We have things like
the cinnamon challenge, tide pod
challenge and even more recently the
condom snorting challenge. oh my god it
makes me gag just thinking about it but
before you guys leave the video let me
talk to you guys about the cold shower
challenge. now and why this is the only
challenge I've tried from the internet
at all,in my entire life, and this is
because I've done research I've done so
much research, I've read two books that
recommended it went in, and did some
research as to the studies there have been
numerous studies is showing many
benefits of cold showers cold therapy
the things that caught my interest about
the cold shower challenge was that one
of my favorite mentors one of the people
that have really caused a lot of change
in my life the very famous motivational
speaker Tony Robbins he takes a cold
shower every single morning he talks
about it in some of his seminars the
gods go watch or if you read some of his
books he mentions him more than once he
says it is one of the staples behind why
he thinks he's so successful he's very
successful man in his late 50s but you
always see him in a good mood he's very
wealthy very financially stable and when
he does his conferences he sits up and
talks for eight hours at a time three
th3 at the age of almost sixty it's very
impressive so I was like let me look a
little bit further into this another
thing that caught my attention about the
cold shower challenge is that I had
found the greatest not only health
benefits but also physique enhancing
benefits from trying things that our
ancestors are late Neanderthal ancestors
were doing why is this there's another
video that's going to be delving further
into this topic but for now it makes
common sense that agriculture that has
only been around for five to ten
thousand years hasn't allowed human
beings enough time to genetically evolve
to primarily thrive off certain things
that our modern world allows us to have
one of those things being running hot
water another one of those things being
carbohydrates that's where the whole
paleo thing comes from our Neanderthal
ancestors didn't have running water then
you have hot showers at all times hot
springs and hot baths were a thing of
luxury back then oftentimes you see very
old photographs of these people and
albeit the quality's not great very
rarely see skin conditions like acne
going further back and I thought back to
a lot of the photos and depictions I've
seen of people a lot of the medical
documentation I've read on the topic of
something like acne for example or other
skin conditions or other forms of
dermatitis I found was there was a very
small amount of medical reports about
that because it wasn't as common way
back when before running water before
plumbing existed judging by the fact
that our primate ancestors are traced
back to as far as 20 million years and
our current Homo Sapien ancestors traced
back to as far as two hundred thousand
years
it's almost logical to assume that five
to ten thousand years would not permit
enough
for Humanity to evolve into his
lifestyle that we've been able to create
thanks to our advanced intellect it's
almost as if our intellect is advancing
way faster than what our body is what
are the benefits of the cold shower
challenge the cold shower challenge has
been scientifically proven to embrace
the stop stirring lowers to increase
auto immune health to increase sperm
count to help treat insomnia to help
treat depression to help treat lack of
motivation to increase overall levels of
happiness and reduce stress
they probably sitting there thinking
there's no way that sounds way too good
to be true
well I'm here to tell you that it is
very true I can attest that every single
one of those benefits I've gotten blood
work done since I started the cold
shower challenge and it's been more than
30 days when me taking ice cold showers
alone and mind you this was during a New
York winter as well I didn't get sick I
just felt amazing afterwards and yes
many of these benefits like my skin
looks better my hair looks better I'm in
a better mood those are great but the
number one thinit fit that I've gotten
from a cold shower challenge why I felt
to deserve the respect of me actually
going out of my way to paint a sign for
it I know that's weird but I thought it
would catch your guys's attention and
it's because the cold shower challenge
has single-handedly counteracted my lack
of motivation my lack of tries to
accomplish my daily tasks that allowed
me to become comfortable with being
uncomfortable if you're guys are
anything like me you're probably sitting
that right now thinking of all kinds of
excuses as to why I take a cold shower
it's not a good idea I did the same
thing it's human
it's something that we're not used to
when you break a habit there's a pain
period involved but I would like for you
guys to realize also that with that
comes a direct benefit you're able to
shut down all those doubts all those
questions in your mind then jump it to a
cold shower every single day and make
that a grant do you have it
guess what it becomes easier to create
other positive habits ever since I began
the cold shower challenge I began
reading every single day and I also
began meditating every single day
motivation has been proven to do you
like a muscle that can be worked any of
you guys are out there and there are
times in the day where you just feel so
lazy you feel like you don't want to do
anything it could be because you're well
in your comfort zone and one good way to
break out our comfort zone every morning
shove it to the cold shower now you guys
might be sooner thinking yeah it's a
cold shower or what does that have to do
with the rest of life for instance let's
say that you're going to a job interview
maybe some of you are really confident
maybe some of you aren't but I guarantee
that the majority of us me included are
gonna have some sense of nervousness
there's gonna be some sense of doubt
like hey I'm not sure we're gonna get
this job or I'm not sure if I qualified
for this job enough to even apply you
guys sitting there thinking like hey
it's a cold shower what's that got to do
with the rest of my life we'll simply
put do you guys really like me the first
thing that comes to your mind when you
think of taking a cold shower is man the
hot shower will be much better hey what
if it makes me cold or I'll do it
tomorrow or I'll look into it later or
there's no way those benefits were real
or there's no way I'm strong enough to
do that there's no way I'm mentally
fortified enough to put myself in that
situation so many excuses going through
your mind now holding on to that thought
I'd like for you guys to sit there and
think of a goal a dream that you guys
have something that you think is
extraordinary and out of your current
reach maybe it's to become a youtuber
maybe it's some Lamborghini well maybe
some of you guys more simple you just
want more free time maybe you guys just
want to work from home now I want you to
sit there think about those dreams
if you dream is within your comfort zone
you're gonna be okay for example that I
say hey you know today I dream of having
a cup of coffee well that's very easy to
accomplish it's not gonna have an
emotional effect I'm talking about real
dreams like having a ten million dollar
house a two million dollar car and never
having to work again think about those
dreams and put those dreams into your
mind and I'll ask yourself why don't you
have those thickness and I bet you that
many of excuses and the self-doubt that
comes into your mind when you think
about taking a cold shower are the same
excuses and same self-doubt they'll run
through your mind when you're thinking
about your dreams now this is where it
gets really interesting the coach our
challenge is doing cold showers alone
for 30 days stream practicing the cold
shower challenge every single morning
for at least the first two weeks all
those thoughts all those thoughts all
those excuses that coming in mind the
brain trying to talk you out of doing
the cold shower challenge of taking a
cold shower every morning you're
exercising the same muscle that's gonna
allow you to eliminate all self-doubt
when it comes to you achieving your
dreams and it comes to you achieving
anything you want you're gonna see it a
lot less obstacles and with that every
single morning you're training the same
muscle in your brain it's not literally
a muscle but the neurons in your brain
that are responsible we're talking you
out of stuff for making you complacent
but making you want to stay still and do
the same thing every day and as you
minimize these impulses they transfer it
to other areas of your life you know I
found myself so much more motivated to
go to the gym the excuses like hey it's
a firewall hey I got a lot of stuff
going on tomorrow hey I might not get
enough sleep a lot of those just started
melting away while I'm there
same thing with school we're studying
with reading books it's almost like a
reprogram my mind it's like I'm not even
trying I'm not even trying to be
successful even feel like I'm working
hard I don't feel like I'm really trying
to be successful
I just feel now the only difference
between me now and me back then is I'm
much happier because many of the things
that I used to look at for example
becoming a youtuber with this sense that
you know it's not for me hey I don't
have the time to do it hey I don't have
the resources to do it a lot of those
excuses disappeared and I didn't know
what was happening I just realized this
recently that's why I wanted to make
this video though yes taking cold
showers every day will make you more
successful you have my word you have my
word
some of you guys might be sitting there
thinking well what's this random
youtuber like why would you want to help
me why would he tell me something that
would benefit me how does that help him
well first of all guys one its altruism
I feel good just knowing that I can
improve I know something that I can do
something that can help add value to the
life of someone else just altruism alone
is a good enough reason but - why would
I help my viewers why would I help my
audience well if you were a youtuber
would you prefer your audience be
completely unemployed not saying you
guys are unemployed but you guys are
very successful but or would you rather
say hey Jordy my YouTube audience has a
six-figure income the majority of people
have surround myself with have
six-figure incomes you know what that
does to you it brings you up just by
association
and a very famous saying is show me the
experiment on one and I'll show you who
you're gonna become so yes there is a
selfish reason I want you guys to
succeed I want you guys to have
everything you want I want you guys to
be happy I want you guys to smile more
why because it's gonna make me better
it's gonna make me look better it's
gonna make me feel better
it's gonna make me shoot higher when
everyone around me makes six figures
guess what six figures is the new
standard I can't make anything lower
than that and guess what I might want to
make more than that now for those of you
guys interested in doing the cold shower
challenge here's how it works
essentially tomorrow morning when you
wake up last thing you want to do when
you wake up in the morning let's take a
closer specially the first time but this
is how it works
wake up one morning and just jump into a
cold shower and stand under it you don't
have to go extremely cold ice cold at
first but eventually that's where you
want to reach to take maximize the
benefits you'll receive so step one get
out of your bed walk over the shower
before your brain as the time to react
turn the cold shower knob up slightly
turn the warm water knob up not to where
it's warm but to where it's not ice cold
and just jump in there and the first
thing you'll notice is you're gonna
start breathing heavy your heart's gonna
start racing you know you're gonna start
shivering it's gonna suck it's not gonna
feel good just like that
job interviews not gonna feel good just
like starting a business just like doing
a space for your Musk didn't feel good
until 20 years into the project that
slow was a huge failure until just a few
years ago so many of the greatest things
in life don't feel good at first
breaking a habit is one of those we have
the habit of always training a hot
shower knob and jump again and enjoy
the shower well how bad do you want
change how bad you want success that's
standing onto the shower for five
minutes will yield the best results you
can start off with less but try to build
your way up every time turn now little
bit cooler a little bit colder and the
holeshot challenge last 30 days and the
whole point of it is after 30 days
you're supposed to assess your life and
see how your life has changed if it was
positive then great keep it if it was
negative then push it away I have yet to
hear any negative results or reviews
about the cold shower challenge at all
I've watched dozens of YouTube videos
I've read dozens of articles read
academic journals I've done all kinds of
researches your skin is gonna look nicer
your skin's not gonna be as dry and
sweat less but any of you guys have
sweating issues and your hair is gonna
look nicer it's gonna be stronger
reinforced your improve your immune
system reduce how often you get sick
Kirsten I never get sick anyway but yes
I haven't gotten sick since I started
the cold shower challenge so there's
that so remember the first time I did
the cold shower challenge I got up in
the morning I turned out not too cold
and I just jumped in and man it's luck
that was shivering
I was breathing you're super hard my
heart started racing I couldn't think of
anything else father then I want to get
out of this I don't want to be in this
anymore but you know what I did I stood
in there I kept my dreams in my mind I
kept the million dollar penthouse and
all these things that I want and I just
sucked it up and I just said fuck it
when I left a cold shower though I
noticed something pretty incredible I
started actually to feel a strong sense
of the peace a strong sense of happiness
I also felt extremely alluring awake
more awake than if I would have taken
pre-workout or coffee in the morning a
sense of alertness of focus but I've
never felt in my life before
and yes both shower challenge can be
used to help treat and cure and mental
illnesses like depression and anxiety
they have been shown to help another
great benefit of cold showers
a reduction of Dom's late onset muscle
soreness your soreness is going to be
reduced the cold water helps fight
inflammation that helps strengthen up
your immune system to get those muscles
all the nutrients they need and help you
heal a little bit faster today I hit my
forty day mark of the cold shower
challenge and I don't see myself
stopping anytime soon the benefits have
been incredible after about the first
two weeks it doesn't bother me I look
forward to cold showers like I can't
stand the thought of a hot shower
actually the thought of a hot shower is
now unpleasant to me it's ugly it's
incredible I feel amazing
I'm wide awake this is when I used to
take a hot shower and I'd be falling
asleep in the shower trying to get ready
for work so guys with all that being
said I'm ending this video by
challenging each and every one of you to
try the 30-day cold shower challenge now
are you up to the task and before you
start making all those excuses think to
yourself are these the same excuses that
you make when you think about your
dreams when you thought about what major
you were gonna pay when you go shopping
for a car think about this before you
decide whether you're gonna take on the
cold shower challenge or not I want to
give you guys some food for thought all
of the excuses that are running for your
mind right now are the same excuses I'm
gonna run by the same part of your brain
that wants you to stay comfortable
effort is fine
but comfort can be detrimental June
beings are genetically prime to want to
thrive we are genetically primed to push
past that limit to send excuses that
people make when they don't get to the
gym are the same excuses people make
when they don't apply for that job when
they don't go to school when they don't
pass their exams whatever it may be I
think about this I'm not sure where your
dancers dreams are at some very
sophisticated friends so their dreams
various I'm gonna want to be painters
some of them want to be programmers some
of them won't be pieces think about your
dreams what if I told you that super
cold shower every day starting now
eventually they would grant every wish
that you've ever happened what if I told
you that would that be enough to get you
to start the challenge sorry to tell you
guys if the excuses in your mind are
good enough to stop you from taking a
cold shower and the excuses in your mind
are gonna always stop you from pursuing
your dreams not the thought of working a
nine-to-five for the rest of your life
until you die is appealing to you that's
then that's perfectly fine work a
full-time job for the majority of my
life and that's perfectly fine but even
then wouldn't you like that promotion
what don't you like to excel beyond your
peers
what don't you like to get to work and
be wide awake and alert and happy to be
there it's not gonna cost you in it and
if anything it's gonna save you money
for those of you guys who live in
private housing now if you decide you
don't want to do cochons that's fine
I'm not saying you can't succeed without
it it's just one tool that I highly
recommend you add to your repertoire one
tool which all my friends will utilize
so that all my friends could be as
successful as I am my dearest who knows
might even make more money than I do and
that's okay that's great but imagine if
you can make more I just tuned in to the
cool showers with that being said guys
thank you so much for sticking to the
end
I really hope you guys try the cold
shower challenge if you do leave a
comment below letting me know that
you're gonna start it so that I can keep
track and we're gonna make another video

and seeing the different results of
people die I'm not sponsored by the
winter season or by the laws of
thermodynamics there's no there's no
other benefit other than altruism here
