By stretching yourself through your own resistance, you continue to grow. Our thoughts are so strong and the great thing is we can completely reprogram them. By completely surrendering to the circumstances, letting go of my resistance and being present, the cold soon felt less intense. The ice bath afterwards was very transformative.
