“Another technique I love to do is I take cold showers every day. It’s good to expose your body to cold water for the somatic response. It’s also a controlled discomfort exercise. When I take it, I’m teaching myself that I can do hard things that I don’t want to do because it’s what’s best for me. I’m teaching myself that I can be uncomfortable on my own behalf,” Pouncil explains. “After my warm shower, I set the water to freezing cold. I visualize myself calm the entire time. I’m controlling my breath. I’m being as calm as I can, so that my body knows I can be in stress and respond with calm. That’s what it’s about; living life with calm and with courage.”
