It's strange to think that your path towards making stress work for you would start with a cold shower. But that immediate response to cold water is actually a very beneficial experience.
Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.
My guest today is Matt Soule. Matt is so many things, but one of his most interesting careers is as a trainer of the Wim Hof method. You've probably seen videos of these people running around what looks like the arctic in nothing but their underwear, jumping into below freezing water like it doesn't even bother them. I don't know about you, but that sounds incredibly stressful to me! Yet if you ask Matt, it's easily one of the best things you could ever do to get your mind into a much better place.

Let's get cold!
It's really striking how too much of a good thing causes us to embrace way more stress than necessary. So I'm going to challenge people in a bit different direction this time. Do five minutes less exercise. If you're already doing zero, you know you need to change, but if you're doing an hour? Do five minutes less. I'm challenging you to stop early. Then maybe tomorrow you realize you feel better because you didn't overdo it so much. Find a happy medium between doing the most you can do, and not doing it at all.
This is the first day of April so the rankings are a little unusual:
1. The United States, led by Colorado, New Mexico, and Louisiana.
2. Australia, with Victoria at an early lead.
3. England of the UK.
4. Ghana. Welcome to the top 5.
5. Canada, with Quebec out front.
Those will probably shift and change a bit over the first week quite a bit.
That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!
Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.
