Over the weekend, we had a Cold Water Dousing session at our training facility. This was basically our attempt to get our members to experience something way outside of their comfort zone. The purpose was two fold:    To let our clients experience they could do something challenging or difficult. If you don’t want to douse an ice bucket of water over your head, you typically really don’t want anything to do with. That’s a huge mental challenge. To over come that mental “I don’t want to” is HUGE.  To get our clients to KNOW they could do difficult things. See, if you pour an ice ..read more
