Winter-bathing reminds me that ‘mind over matter’ is real. And in a time where we are so fixated on what we believe we can’t do, instead of working towards being able to do ‘it’, winter-bathing is just a good reminder that we can do much more than we think!
This winter, Denmark has almost been constantly below freezing since the start of 2026 and it has given me opportunity to do a few fun winter sports, including ice-skating and sledging as well as this icy plunge. This time upping my time by about 1 1/2 mins compared to my first icy plunge, also viewable on YouTube!
Fun fact: My first YouTube video of me winter-bathing suddenly took off, getting 30,000, 60,000 and then 90,000 views! It was strange, because I hadn’t even really given it a title! Anyway, I assume an algorithm alteration ended its amazing hike and it abruptly went back to dribble views – now years later arriving at 96,000 views.
