1
I'm sorry.
2
I started cold plunging a few years back while I was working on my body after hours of rehearsing for tour.
3
In Korea the sauna culture is really big so I would go to sauna like every single day
4
and doing the cold plunge right after was a natural thing for me.
5
The first time was a surprise.
6
I freaked out a little bit, but instantly I felt like the soreness and tightness of my body went away.
7
And maybe because it was the first time I just had this instant boost in my mood and an overall emotional relief.
8
It's like a reset button for your body.
9
By the time I'm in front of the water, I prep my mental.
10
It's usually...
11
Sorry, I'm like, I instantly imagined what I did, and it's usually like me kind of freaking out, but you're gonna see a lot of that today.
12
I feel like I should be running.
13
Waterfall fell at all.
14
I'm ready.
15
I'm not scared.
16
What a beautiful view to have while you cold plunge.
17
I'm not delaying my challenge right now.
18
It's usually a form of like just letting go of my anxiety.
19
I jump around sometimes to get my blood flowing.
20
I normally try to slow my breathing.
21
That already gives you a calm energy, kind of prepare your mind.
22
As I put my foot into the water, there's an instant pain.
23
Woo!
24
Woo!
25
Oh my god!
26
That's when you gotta really start breathing in really slowly remind yourself to be calm and that this is okay.
27
You can breathe through this.
28
Once your body is in the water, you're gonna feel this tingle, but you really gotta believe in yourself.
29
I often tell myself to toughen up, like this is just water, like you're not gonna die in this water.
30
I tell myself that this is something that I want to do and it's not for the pain, it's for the relief.
31
And saying those words to me inspired me to finish that time limit that you set yourself before you get in.
32
The second you walk in is when you want to get out, but I usually like to set my goals.
33
So I would set an alarm for two minutes and thirty seconds
34
and when the alarm goes off and I'm still able to like hold this coldness, I tell myself let's see how long I can do today.
35
I recommend to go like five seconds more every single time, even like ten seconds maybe,
36
and and gradually your body learned to deal with this pain and you feel so proud of yourself.
37
I'm not sure what I'm doing.
38
I'm not sure what I'm doing.
39
I'm not sure what I'm doing.
40
I'm not sure what I'm doing.
41
One of the main reasons why I started cold plunging was to recover myself after doing lots of performances and doing tours.
42
I was overworking my body and every night I would go to sleep in pain
43
and I couldn't figure out how to treat myself
44
when I was in these situations when my muscles were tightened up
45
and by doing Cold Plunge it taught me how to embrace tension
46
and help me push through challenges whether in my personal life or creatively.
47
I would say cold plunging was number one thing that helped me get through mentally because it was a tough time.
48
I pushed myself to be in the studio every single day for a couple months.
49
That's how I ended the night, by doing a cold plunge and it refreshed me.
50
And that's how I reset myself for the next day.
51
As much as I love it, I get scared every single time.
52
But breaking through that fear
53
and pushing myself to do it every day kind of motivated me
54
and made me believe that I am tougher than I think I am.
55
You know, you're really doing it for yourself.
56
There's no one watching.
57
Okay, I'm ready to jump out now.
58
As soon as I walk out, I wrap myself with towel.
59
And also in this part, breathing is really important, I would say.
60
The more you panic, the more you're gonna hate the feeling after you walk out.
61
So I breathe and I calm myself down.
62
I'm shaking a little bit, but I think it's because the air is cold today.
63
But I feel good.
64
And immediately you can feel your blood flowing, flowing, flow.
65
See, now I'm just like lost in this interview.
66
I'm just so pressured about being like the ambassador of cold plunge right now and I want to do it right.
67
Immediately you feel your blood flowing in your body and you feel good, you feel energetic, you feel ready to go.
68
Yay!
69
Thank you, folks.
70
This was a very special experience for me and hope you guys try it out.
71
Bye!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
