00:00:00.800 Greetings, proud sons of Makedon.
00:00:04.260 First and foremost, if you wonder about a black eye, I procured it during the last MMA training,
00:00:09.820 and it's a sure sign from Mitras that he favors our great endeavor.
00:00:16.180 Now also, before I begin to elaborate on today's topic, I would just like to say a few words,
00:00:21.880 because every once in a while I say to myself, okay, cool, focus on what you are grateful for,
00:00:27.960 because it's very good for your soul to do so every once in a while.
00:00:32.080 To just say to yourself, what am I grateful for?
00:00:34.580 And I would just like to thank you all.
00:00:36.480 First and foremost, thank you for being subscribed. It means a lot.
00:00:40.520 Also, a huge massive thank you to all of my Patreons and everyone who supports me,
00:00:45.360 because it means a lot. You enable me to commence this great endeavor,
00:00:50.120 and without your help, I couldn't have done it.
00:00:52.280 So, massive thank you. I have said it before, and I'll continue to say it,
00:00:56.740 because it means extremely much.
00:00:59.680 And it's also a very sure sign of trust, that you trust, that you have faith in me. 0.92
00:01:05.120 It's fucking awesome.
00:01:06.640 And I just want to say this every once in a while, that I am appreciative of all the support I get, 0.89
00:01:12.240 and for everyone who spreads the word, as it were,
00:01:15.380 and also everyone who is getting fucking juicy after adhering to my teachings, 0.98
00:01:21.600 because your time and effort, that's the ultimate sacrifice you can make to me, 0.88
00:01:26.320 that you say to yourself and say to me, like,
00:01:29.440 oh, you know what, I've started praying in the Temple of Iron after taking a glorious pill.
00:01:34.860 So yeah, thank you very much to everyone who deserves a thank you, basically.
00:01:39.780 Now, I would just like to answer a commonly asked question, and that is my thoughts on cold showers.
00:01:45.900 Now, I thought to elaborate on this topic, and I waited a few months doing so,
00:01:51.860 because I obviously wanted to start taking cold showers before I said anything,
00:01:56.280 because I always want to, you know, first obtain enlightenment before talking about stuff.
00:02:01.140 So anyway, a few months I've taken cold showers, or to be perfectly technical,
00:02:06.600 it's called Scottish showers, so you begin with lukewarm water, basically,
00:02:12.600 and then you turn it down to the lowest at the end of your shower,
00:02:17.120 so you spend like a minute or two under the coldest shower.
00:02:21.400 Now, you can read up on the health benefits below in an article,
00:02:26.040 so you see there are some, you know, good health benefits right there.
00:02:29.720 Now, the reason I continued cold showers, or Scottish showers,
00:02:33.280 is simply because of the sensation I get about 20 minutes afterwards.
00:02:39.340 So if I compare a hot shower 20 minutes afterwards, and a cold shower 20 minutes afterwards,
00:02:44.840 I feel much more fresh and alert and energetic, basically, after a cold shower.
00:02:51.120 And for me, it's an absolute luxury to feel fresh and alert,
00:02:54.720 because that means I can be productive,
00:02:56.400 and that's obviously what I want to be able to be as much of the time as possible.
00:03:01.520 So that is basically why I continued to do it.
00:03:05.300 I started doing it for two reasons, just for my own enlightenment,
00:03:09.360 and then also to give a solid answer,
00:03:12.120 and I obviously need to have tried it before I give a solid answer.
00:03:15.380 So that's why I started it.
00:03:16.840 I continued to do it because of the sensation I get after the shower.
00:03:22.600 Now, if you want to try this, a mental technique I use is that
00:03:26.560 I basically imagine that I'm a Viking Jarl,
00:03:29.800 and one of my men has fallen off board,
00:03:32.120 and I have to jump in and save him in the cold North Atlantic.
00:03:38.040 Might sound silly to some people,
00:03:39.660 but I can just assure you that these sort of mental images
00:03:42.280 and mental techniques are really good.
00:03:43.820 I use it in the gym all the time as well.
00:03:45.820 When it's a heavy set or a heavy session,
00:03:48.300 I visualize the starting battle in Gladiator to get a few extra sets.
00:03:54.900 Same thing in martial arts.
00:03:56.340 When my cardio is lacking,
00:03:57.980 I just envision some cool scenes from 300.
00:04:02.400 But that's another topic.
00:04:03.780 I just wanted to let you know that you can envision epic things
00:04:08.940 to motivate yourself through certain endeavors
00:04:13.120 that are a bit perhaps not pleasurable to begin with.
00:04:16.840 But then you get used to it,
00:04:18.260 so now it's not a big deal to shower cold. 0.99
00:04:22.860 Fucking juicy. 0.99
00:04:27.060 And who am I? 0.99
00:04:29.620 I'm the glorious Viking of wisdom.
00:04:32.340 XXO.
00:04:33.240 Boom.
00:04:43.120 The Holy Spirit.
00:04:45.720 The Holy Spirit.
00:04:53.260 The Holy Spirit.
