Increase your mind-body connection

Mental health issues can develop through an accumulation of small events, like routinely sitting in traffic jams or high-stress levels at work. When these issues get bigger, or when multiple small issues pile up, the likelihood that they will negatively impact your health dramatically increases. To prevent this, there are several things you can do. Below are some simple things you can do to help you increase your mind-body connection.

Focus on your breath One of the simplest but also one of the most fundamental techniques is focusing on your breath. It has been scientifically proven that breathing exercises stimulate the mind-body connection, and reduce stress. Simply close your eyes, take a deep breath, exhale slowly, and repeat. Try to do this a few times a day, and you will experience the impact it has on your mental health.

Stretch it out Stretching is a great exercise to reconnect with the sensations in your body. When we are facing a lot of stress, we fail to realize how stress can negatively affect our bodies. For example, manifesting itself through tight shoulders or clenched jaws. Take the time to stretch your body, and release the tension. Even in a busy meeting, you can take a quick shoulder roll, and immediately feel the reduction in muscle tension.

Hydration As a result of our busy lives, we can easily forget about basic needs like hydration. It is very important to stay hydrated and drink enough water to dispose our bodily waste. Carry a water bottle with you everywhere you go, and sip water during the day.

Mental and physical exercises You can enhance your mind-body connection yourself by regularly performing mental and physical exercises. For instance, even meditating for just a few minutes a day improves your memory, mood, focus, and sleep. In addition, you can improve your physical strength and flexibility by practicing yoga. Yoga is good for your overall health and also stimulates the mind-body connection. When you exercise regularly, you quickly notice improvements.

After 8 months of daily Hoffing, puffing and cold showers I can claim to be cured of my 5 year burnout. Not having had a single cold or flu, my sore knee is working perfectly again, which was very painful the last 2 years. It is like a miracle, and I’m really grateful that our paths crossed.

Wim I hope to train with you someday. I love to jump into that cold water and climb that mountain with you. Your method has truly helped me with psoriatic arthritis. I am no longer taking Humira injections for my symptoms. I am controlling it with breathing, cold showers and ice baths.

I would have paid $10,000 for this, but that would not be enough because this has changed my life. I feel like I have taken Valium yet am supercharged. As a clinical psychologist my days can be very stressful. There is a stillness inside me now, and what I am really amazed by is the peace lasts.

I got anxiety 2+ years ago, and have had panic attacks every day since. Medicine helped a little. I came across your videos and started to walk my 2 miles a day in only a t-shirt at 20F degrees. Within 2 weeks my anxiety went away! I found it to be a miracle.

Cardiac and respiratory arrest began my life. Heart defect and cleft palate pushed diseases. Depression, lack of self-efficacy, and post traumatic stress disorder followed. The Wim Hof Method frees me: I am twenty-nine years old, and I love to live. Thank you!

From the 90s to 2012 I developed hayfever symptoms and had to take daily medications in order to cope. The effect of these medications only lasted for several hours. By using the Wim Hof Method training daily, my body has conquered hayfever symptoms since 2013.

I started the Wim Hof method in October of 2018, and now the holes I had in my brain are gone. My neurosurgeon was so impressed by the scans that he told me I don't have to come back anymore. I take this as proof that this method works to regenerate brain tissue.
