This was the 4th ice bath of the day within a 25 minutes timeframe. 

Why do we take ice baths and go hike in the snow for hours with only shorts on? ❄️❄️❄️🥶🥶🥶To train our nervous system. Cold exposure makes you experience #fear, #anxiety, and as high a stress as you can get in your #negotiations before and during cold exposure, which simulates high stress, life threatening environments for your nervous system. 

I have trained my nervous system to respond to fear and stress with profound gratitude. #Gratitude for the emotion I am experiencing, whether that is joy, fear, sadness or excitement. Experiencing #emotions is a gift of life, it means we are alive! 

Try and respond with gratitude every time to get emotions you are trying to experience less. When you operate from a place of gratitude, there will be no space for fear or sorrow, and even that, you should be grateful for. 

Ultimately, overwhelming emotions like anger and fear are simply signs of lots of energy which must be used to help others. Instead we are thought at school and in business to suppress our emotions. f*** that, bring them out and share your passion with others, unconditionally. 

This must be a continuous training. You can’t just go to the gym for a week and hope to look good for the rest of your life. If you want to perform at the highest level of your intellectual and emotional ability, you must commit to train your nervous system to respond to difficult situations on a daily basis. 

What do you do to train your nervous system and build the negotiator’s mindset on a daily basis?
