Do This for 4 Minutes a Day to Reduce Negative Stress With Wim Hof and Lewis Howes

Right now I do a lot of conscious breathing. Conscious breathing is during the day. Because now I know it's learning to control the alkalinity, the pH level within the body. It's good for that. And if you really have nasty matters, issues in the tissues, then you are able to like depression, anxiety. Then you are able to tap in and you know that this one works. We are doing neurological brain research very soon. And it's because they see this works. If someone's feeling overwhelmed and stressed on a day-to-day basis, and they can never fail to get rid of the stress, they try to meditate, they try to get massages, they try to do all these other things. But they don't try to breathe. What's something they could do if they have a minute throughout the day? A minute? A minute or two, you know, a minute or four minutes. Four minutes. Okay, four minutes. I got a great exercise. They're overwhelmed, they're stressed, they're freaked out. Well, later I'm going to do this with you. Okay. Four minutes. Perfect. Should I say it right now? Sure. Or we do it and then we talk about it. We could do that. It's not so difficult. Okay, I talk about it. I just make you do relax, you know. You're not relaxed because you're full of stress. But anyway, I say just loosen up the body a little. Stand. Just mind your body for now. Just four minutes. So shut up there. Just be and feel who you are. You feel your feet on the ground, your arms, and that's it. Now breathe it. And let go. Should we stand up and do it? Is it standing or is it sitting? Shall we do this? Let's stand up right here and keep the mic on. Yeah. Okay, you do that. That work? And you should be able to do push-ups. Okay, cool. We can do it too. Yeah. We can make it work. Okay. And what we do right now is to make a physiological reset of the nervous system. And the shape of the body is becoming better. And it is no FF. It feels like, hey, I can go on. What's happening? That's chemistry. Going into the deepest of the body and learning how to control stress hormone. So if we are too stressed, we got to go to the mechanism who is producing the stress, and we have no control. With this one, you reset the stress hormone mechanism, the brainstem. Okay. Within four minutes. Okay. And afterwards, you feel good because the connection is there. And I'm not saying feeling is understanding. Okay, there you go. We're standing. Let's test it as well. Yeah, you might need to open the door and have space out there for you. Are you able to do push-ups over there? I'll make it work. Okay. We'll move the camera. I'll make it work. Yeah, you should be able to do that. I need to stand here for the camera. Okay. Time around. She's got it. Yep. Is it on? Okay. I say now. Breathe in. Let go. Breathe in. 28. Get them in again. Just go with the flow. No minding. Just go. You feel what you feel as you're breathing. We are oxygenizing the body right now. It's getting into all the cells. Not only the carbon dioxide is going down. Oxygen is getting in. Body becomes alkaline. What do you need to perform? You need alkalinity. Because of the oxygenization, alkalinity comes in. That's what you need to perform. Now, because you are so stressed, you are not connected to the brainstem. In the brainstem, there is the directory of the hormonal system. We will consciously go into a physiological state of not having oxygen. Because we're going to do push-ups after exhalation. That turns on the brainstem and resets whatever is causing the stress. The hormonal system. The stress hormone, adrenaline, epinephrine, cortisol. And it is controlled. It resets it. Okay. And you get a good figure out of it. Now, you got already a good figure. Okay. No minding about that. Go on. 15. 14. Let it go. Go into it. 13. Get your mind on. You know what the mind is able to do. Just get your mind on. Into the cell. I do my best. The best will come about. And it's no competition. It's just going into the depth of the body and the brain. 11. 10. 9. Take them in. Come on, Louis. And how? Louis, how? That's the way. Yeah, it's fun too. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Here comes the last one. Fully in. Let it go. Stop. Push up. Let's go. Looking good. No air in the lungs. Mind is resetting. Hormonal system is resetting. There is no doubt. Amazing. Good. And relax. This is the way to get into the depth of the brain, the directory of stress hormone, and all cells. Yeah, man. It's the adrenal axis completely under control. Four minutes. How much did it take? What? The total, with the breathing. Oh, less than four minutes. So anybody can do this. Gets a good figure. Resets the nervous system. They were good push-ups, by the way. Yeah, Louis, just like that. Yeah, I saw them. I have a... I broke my wrist playing football, so I have to do one on the fist, but... Wow. Yeah, I did 35. And I can usually maybe do like, I don't know, 20. You know, without having to take a break. Wow, yeah. Yeah, amazing. It's good. We talked about stress, uncontrolled stress, for people who are living in stress. Wow. And for them, this is excellent. Four minutes, yeah. It trains the body and it trains the brain to become consciously at will, under your control. Yeah, because if you're stressed out and you do this for four minutes, I mean, I've got a sweat. I've released any tension. You can't think about anything else. That's it. You have to focus on beating your record or trying to do as many as you can. And yeah, I want to see why you'd be stressed afterwards, or at least you'd be able to release a lot. You test it out. You will probably meet, you know, many people who are stressed and, you know, famous or a lot of responsibility, pressure and all that, creating... And just do it for a minute. Yeah. So you see the miracle of life happening in front of you. So you're breathing for four minutes or do you breathe for three and a half and then do push-ups? No, it's like two minutes, two and a half minutes. Okay, cool. And then you do that. Crazy. And then, yeah. Two minutes of breathing and then going to push-ups. And you get a nice figure out of it. There you go. And your stress hormone is directly under your control. That's the way nature meant it to be, by the way. But we alienated from nature, so we don't know. And then it runs into loops and we don't know how to break through. There's one breakthrough. Amazing. How many can you do from that? I don't know. You never get stressed. You don't have to do it. I do a lot. When I want, regularly I do 50, but I did 100 as well. 100? Yeah. No breath. Amazing. Yeah. The body is amazing. The chemistry is amazing. And what we are able, capable of doing is amazing. Just do it. Wow. Incredible. Why did you get into this? And how did you get into this type of research and just testing for yourself in the first place? You know, every person has got his own search to do. When I did my search, I felt there is more. I don't know what, there's more. But that creates a drive. Even though you do not know, it creates a drive. To get to know. You become a soul searcher. And then you come and stumble upon things. And many, I visited many religions, traditions, cultures, etc. Traditions, languages, disciplines, esoteric disciplines. Yes, philosophies, etc. All. But they never were really capable of making that connection which originated from that drive. There is more. I don't know what it is, but there is more. Until I met the cold water. The cold water made me merciless, but righteous. It brings you direct in contact with a deeper part of your own physiology. The way nature meant it to be. And then I knew from the inside, this is it. I don't know why, but this is it. Feeling good is being connected. So the other day I came back and I felt the same. And from there I began to do it all winter long. I mean, winter here is no winter to me. To me it's freezing temperatures, frozen waters, making a hole, bang, bang, bang, and getting in. It's sort of mystical. And there I learned that if you breathe deeper in the water, you are able to do so much more. The impact of the water, which is cold, is power. It's force. And you learn to breathe. Then you learn that by deeper breathing, you learn to tune. You're able suddenly to stay in the water for so much more. Only 25 of these breaths, which you were doing right now, I was doing in the water. And then I could stay five, six, seven minutes under the ice. You're breathing in the water. In the water. Deep breaths in the water. You know, oxygen you need for combustion. Combustion is energy. So you learn to breathe deeper. And then the body's chemistry is becoming stronger. Alkaline. And then it adapts to the situation. Really? Not only in the cold, also in the heat. Also Mount Everest. Also in any stressful situation. So if we breathe that way, like we just did, or like what I did on the couch, we should be able to feel fine in extreme heat or extreme cold or extreme stressful situations. Yes, it's all stress. And if we just regulate the chemistry inside, then it's able to adapt to the impact. And impact can be caused by, yes, heat, but also by grief. Or somebody has a gun on your head. That's stress. Absolutely. And or war. Sexual abuse. Any stress relates itself to chemistry. Relates itself to force. Are we able to counteract on that? Yes. We have a power to adapt to the situation. And we can do that consciously. And how? Just do this. Because it has been shown that it works. Now, you wanted to get into the deepest, best podcast ever. That's what I want too. So let's get to the bottom of things and get into a new insight. Let's do it. How? I don't know. But we adapt now. And you have done the breathing up till now. And now I want to demystify, say, the limits of the brain, of the perception. And how? It's all here. So I want to feel it. I want to see it. I'm into this brain research. And I want also to show that it affects expanding consciousness. Expanding consciousness is associating and connecting tubes within the brain. Becoming more. Changing your perception. What is consciousness? It's perception. But if you learn more, your perception becomes wider. That's expanding consciousness. It relates into the brain that the neurology is connecting more. But if you are sick or too stressful or too conditioned, then it's not able to connect more. Thus, you don't feel spirituality. It becomes dull. Because it begins to be a loop. How many times do you need to see from a loop not to become dull? It's a logic set. So we have this capacity to get into the brain and to connect consciously all these channels, the neurology, ganglia cells, whatever they're called. But they connect. And that spirituality should be de-abstracted and become a way of life for everybody accessible. We are going to show this. So I'm here, once again, to spread my mission. But also to learn of you. Because I use your insights as well. Right now, right here. Your way of thinking and being. I'm sharing, but you are sharing too. So we share this with everybody. And very soon, we will show that spirituality is de-abstracted. It's a great feeling of channeling insight. And it's growing. Nothing will become ever dull anymore.

Kind of like our shoe size. And through my experience of doing this for the past two decades, nothing could be furthest from the truth. You know, people have unbelievable gifts inside them. They're just not shown how.
