Days and Words's video: Cold Showers Help You to Learn a Language

Could cold showers actually help you to learn a language? Yes. Let's find out why cold showers are one of the simplest things you can do to improve your language learning, to learn a language faster. Cold showers have been used by guys like Matt D'Avella and Nathaniel Drew as a way of toughening up mentally. Taking cold showers helps you to focus more time on what is important, but the showers also taught me the value of just starting. The funny thing about cold showers are that they are only unpleasant for the first 20 seconds or so; after that it's basically the same and in fact quite pleasant. The same often goes for language learning: We don't want to do the things that we know we should, but often once we start doing them, we find them to be not that bad. Cold showers are often taken to increase mental toughness, and I have found that to be absolutely the case. Cold showers have increased my focus, and as a result, on good days, I have spent almost three hours on the tasks that I am supposed to be working on, which is three times as long as I was able to before. The last language learning habit that cold showers have helped me with is in the momentum of habits and goals. When I first set the goal of cold showers, the goal was 10 days. Then I decided to see what that would be like if I went for 100 days, and I realised that 10 days was easy and in fact 100 days of cold showers was very doable. It has really made me think about where my goals come from; normally it's from what is 'normal', and that is not a good place to get your goals. In order to see extraordinary results, we must take extraordinary measures. In March, I aim to learn 3000 new French words. Sounds insane? Maybe it is, but it's less insane than trying to learn 100 words a month and then failing because the goal was pointless anyway. 3000 French words in the month of March, let's do it!
