Correct Breathing
Another tool you can use to regain your
composure and enter the warrior mindset
at will is correct breathing. This means
belly breathing, breathing from your
diaphragm first and taking deep breaths.
This calms your nervous system and puts
you into the rest and digest state, it’s the
perfect way to overcome anxiety.
Cold Showers
Cold showers increase your metabolism, they
help you produce more testosterone and they
cause a flood or adrenaline. They can actually
strengthen your immune system too. In other
words, they’re actually good for you and a
great way to start your day.But at the same time, they hurt and they suck. This is a terrible shock to the system
and it’s the last thing you want to do.
Which is precisely why it is ideal for your warrior training. Taking cold showers
requires incredible mental discipline and if you can force yourself to do this every
day, then you can achieve just about anything.
And as a fun fact, Hugh Jackman said that he used cold showers as a way to get into
the mind of Wolverine for the X-Men movies. Now there’s a warrior that you could
afford to be more like!
