The Wim Hof ideas have helped me a lot.

One easily achievable aspect of his ways is to finish off your shower with only the cold water for a minute.
Turn the hot water off.
Control your breathing. Do not gasp or pant.

It improves your resilience and exercises your determination.
Also, gives your lovely wife something to laugh with you about.

My daughter told me about Win eons ago so I sort of tried his breathing techniques… there’s also another type of breathing technique but I forgot what it’s called… I do remover one type of breathing at night to help sleep and it works. Taking big deep breathe in slowly …and then slowly releasing it. Do it a few times. Before I know it I’m in slumberland!

Most people follow the path of least resistance

If for example a girl has her boyfriend leave her
It's totally understandable that her friends comfort her with chocolate
Or alcohol

But is that really helping

Would she be better off doing some life coaching
A martial art
And hitting the gym

Most people follow the path of least resistance and unfortunately it leads to failure

I get that most people have got themselves into such a pickle they feel like they are drowning
And that chocolate or alcohol or telling them they are a victim
Could be seen as a compassionate ACT
Like pulling them into a nice warm lifeboat

In the end
And this is the harsh truth

It's actually better to learn how to swim
It's actually better when you feel like you are drowning
To be able to calm your senses
And apply the skills you have learnt

That requires effort and is the opposite of the path of least resistance
That's why the first thing you need to do when you bounce out of bed
Is to recognise that the obstacle is the way

That's actually the title of an excellent book which you should read

The path of least resistance is often the path of not being an idiot.

Why would a girl need a martial art because she was dumped? LOL!!!

What?! You male you! Off with your head!

wanting to give someone chocalate is part of the feminine nurturing response to someone they see as a "distressed infant"

your friend is crying and fussing and unhappy and so you want to soothe them.

nothing wrong with that but just remember

you ARE seeing them as an infant.

treating people as infants when they are 3 months old or 99 and bed ridden is absolutely appropriate.

treating an upset 30 yo as an infant is not.

it will keep them stuck.

it is how governments treat people now because governments have sort of become a nanny state and citizens like being fussed over when they are in pain (ie all the time).

If we eat too late and not had time to digest doesn’t help with sleeping… and if we have coffee in the evening doesn’t help either.

Too much psychology … I just like to have chocolate… I don’t drink or smoke or do social drugs… so I have to have a vice somewhere Grin
