Red Pill For Busy Professionals with Young Families

You’re excited and feel strong and positive energy irradiating from being a parent. You’re doing everything possible to be the best person, husband, and father, but there is something that is not right.

You feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. You’ve been working too many hours for far too long, you’re stressed out, and sleep the barely minimum. You might be even getting sick often with colds, flu, and fever, feeling weak, without energy, and mentally depleted.

You look at yourself in the mirror and you’re not sure you like what you see, or maybe you’re… while you do that there is a thought popping in your mind… Is there a red pill that can help me to break free from the Matrix, that can give me the grit, courage, and determination required? If there is one, I’ll probably take it.

You’ve been looking for a way out. You’ve tried a few different things with your best intention and determination. Yet, in the end, the brutal reality has smashed your hopes and desires and placed you again right where you are now. You think about the powerful words that Trinity said to Neo “You’ve been down there, Neo. You already know that road. You know exactly where it ends. And I know that’s not where you want to be”. You clench your fist and repeat for yourself “…that’s not where you want to be”.

Take this red pill to get out of the Matrix. An efficient way to reconnect with your inner strength is by starting with the keystone habit of cold showers.

Cold Showers will help you to:

  • Build Grit
  • Work out your cardiovascular system and get a more robust immune response
  • Break your conditioning and make you a free person
  • Get the extra energy that you need

My credentials:

  • I took the red pill and I have been taking cold showers and enjoying their benefits for many years
  • I am a Wim Hof Method Instructor (2018)

FAQ:

Why do I need to take cold showers to create the tipping point in my life that I need?

Any action has the potentiality to be a game-changer. Any action, no matter how big or how small, because what really matters is how you approach the action. It’s about the intention, about how present you’re, how deliberate your action is. A cold shower or an ice bath is no different. However, there is one thing making them unique. Their nature makes them unique. Cold is merciless. It brings you directly into the depth of yourself. You’re not thinking. Your emotions stop. It breaks your conditioning and that makes you a free person. This uniqueness is what makes taking cold showers so powerful. *

Cold is not really my thing and I don’t think I can go through this process no matter what the reward is. Is there a way to “enjoy” this?

Anyone can learn how to progressively take cold showers with the right guidance, and even enjoy them. I’ll coach you on taking cold showers and the steps will be adapted to your specific needs and conditions.
