Jaymes O’Pheron is not only used to the cold – he succeeds in it.
O’Pheron, 34, lived in Washington, Tennessee, Texas and Ireland before moving to Fargo, North Dakota with his wife Carl in 2021.
North Dakota ranked high on their list because of its affordable living expenses, Cities that grow fast and friendly policies for small businesses. O’Pheron is a serial entrepreneur and a combustion coach for other companies owners, and Carla works for the seller of noble metals.
Despite the city’s dark and cold winters – recent temperatures Hovering between minus 25 degrees and in one -core digits – “We didn’t fear the cold,” O’Pheron tells CNBC. Carla previously studied high school in Alaska near the Arctic Circle, she adds.
Ever since he moved to North Dakot, he says he has taken over two mentality inspired by Norma: “friluftsliv“(Scandinavian concept of outdoor living) and”Sisa“(Finnish art of finding inner power).
Here are three things O’Pheron says that anyone can adopt to pass, and maybe even hug, bitter winter time.
Reflect your way of thinking
O’Pheron says that switching your thoughts to take over your reply to your reply to the weather can “transform” your winter experience and encourage you to go out more outside.
“If you just allow you to control you time, you will have miserable time,” he says.
He advises that he leans in winter to “appreciate him, find beauty at all times” and “find joy, as well as the community and connection” to process sharp temperatures with intent. For O’Pheron, this means that the cold pulled out of the house and enjoyed the farm’s “successful artistic community”, including going to symphony, ballet and opera.
Another way to think about it: “There is no inappropriate time, just inappropriate clothing.”
Try cold and heated saunas
O’Pheron was a fan of ice gases or a practice to have been drooping in water freezing for years and seeing “exercise how to enjoy a blizzard”.
“You vomit that sense of autonomy and ownership of” cold exposure, which he believes to build its resistance and changes its physical and mental response to that.
Research on the benefits It is cold were mixed, but early studies indicated some compensation. 20000., A study from the University of Portsmouth In the UK, he found that open water swimming in cold temperatures improved the mood of the participants. And a Case study for 2018 The British University collection also found ice baths that could be used to treat depression and anxiety.
Just as O’Pheron sees, the cold helps to train your body to get better warm up and “exercise the inner heater of your body, so you don’t really feel so cold in the winter.”
The second aspect of “Sisua” is a balance of physical and mental endurance with self -memory. To that goal, O’Pheron balances the cold over time in heated saunas. In this way, he trains his body “in order to positively relate to the cold” and build his mood and “spiritual resistance,” he says.
Spend time around other people
Finally, O’Pheron says the biggest way of changing winter thinking is a priority for social interactions.
In this way, he maintains his winter blues in the bay. “You don’t have to go out in a huge crowd to get around people – be with the people you care about and fill your bucket, whether to go and join a chess club or a club to eat or go for quiet reading or movies.”
Even when “you can’t get the sun, go hug someone,” he adds. “That sun somehow puts you in your heart.”
