Resilience is not a fixed trait; it must be developed and strengthened over time. 

At Mind Over Matter Practice we teach you to harness resilience and accept discomfort as a natural part of life by demonstrating its crucial role in promoting desensitisation, adaptation, and growth when you are under pressure. 

Gradually, you will see the problem become an opportunity just as the hunter becomes the prey. 

The distressing experience (now the prey) becomes the centre of attention for what it has to offer, and you begin to analyse calmly (like a hunter), "How has it been affecting my perceptions?", "How do I respond to this discomfort to build self-confidence from it?" 

This natural mindset shift will empower you to build a positive thought process, stay calm, and allow your mind to adapt and strengthen, ultimately leading to:

1. Emotional Regulation:

Resilient individuals can manage their emotions effectively, staying calm and composed even in stressful situations.

2. Problem-Solving Skills:

Resilience is linked to the ability to assess challenges, develop effective strategies, and problem-solve constructively.

3. Positive Mindset:

Resilient people often maintain a positive outlook on life, focusing on opportunities for growth and learning rather than dwelling on negative aspects.

4. Adaptability:

Resilience is closely tied to adaptability, the capacity to adjust to changing circumstances.

5. Self-Efficacy:

Resilient individuals believe in their own abilities to overcome challenges and influence the outcomes of their lives.

6. Flexibility:

Resilience involves being flexible and open to different approaches and solutions when faced with obstacles.

7. Optimism:

An optimistic outlook can enhance resilience, as it fosters hope and a belief that one can withstand adversity.

8. Sense of Purpose:

Having a clear sense of purpose or meaning in life can contribute to resilience, as it provides motivation to persevere in the face of difficulties.

9. Focus:

Resilient people remain focused on the task at hand even under the pressure of distractions. 

This is where Mind Over Matter Practice sets into action as your newly discovered mental resilience enables you to willingly expose your body to endure measured bursts of stressful sensations. 

Knowing that it is desensitising your body to the discomfort through natural adaptations, your physiology begins to evolve along with your mind to become resilient to the environment. Your body will develop its:

1. Physical Strength:

Exert force and power more efficiently as sauna exposure increases your muscle mass by elevating growth hormone levels.

2. Endurance:

The capacity to sustain physical activity over extended periods without excessive fatigue, ensuring that the body can continue performing despite demanding conditions. This happens as your body acclimatises to heat, cold and the feeling of hypoxia.

3. Flexibility:

The range of motion in joints and muscles, which enables the body to move freely and adapt to different physical challenges. While the cold reduces inflammation, swelling and pain in muscles and joints, heat reduces stiffness by increasing blood flow.

4. Cardiovascular Health:

A stronger heart and circulatory system that delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues more efficiently, even during periods of physical stress. Again this is hot, cold and oxygen-dependent training for your heart.

5. Muscle Recovery:

The ability of muscles to repair and rebuild efficiently after exercise or injury, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing performance. Your cells equip themselves for excess demands by increasing heat shock proteins and cold shock proteins among other things.

6. Immune Function:

A robust immune system that can defend against pathogens and promote recovery from illness or injury. In the same way that vaccines are said in medical literature to prime the immune system by way of micro exposures to pathogens, cold, heat, hyperbaric oxygen, as well as neurofeedback, prime your immune and nervous system for subsequent pathogen exposures.

7. Metabolic Health:

A well-functioning metabolism that helps regulate energy levels and maintain a healthy body composition. As hyperbaric oxygen increases the fuel needed for mitochondrial metabolic function, cold exposure increases both the amount of mitochondria you have and the amount of activity of the mitochondria for energy abundance.

8. Bone Health:

Strong and resilient bones that resist fractures and maintain structural integrity. Increased blood and nutrient supply along with hormesis can stimulate bone growth and bone health.
