Cold Water, Hot Results: The Dopamine Trick That Supercharges My Manifesting

I let cold water hit my face, first, in the shower. First thing in the morning. Every morning.

Even in the warm Southeast Asian climate where I live, it takes surprising courage (that first icy blast makes my brain scream “ABORT!” every time!)

But there’s science behind the madness 😁

The shower blast is about boosting my dopamine levels – that powerful neurotransmitter responsible for motivation and accomplishment (as both a physicist and manifesting teacher, I’m eternally fascinated by the intersection of science and magic ✨)

When I shared my cold-water ritual with a couple of friends, they looked at me like I’d grown an extra head.

“Are you insane?” one of them said. Another friend practically let out a scream, “I could NEVER do that!’ Their horrified reactions made me think of something important about manifesting…

There’s this stubborn belief floating around that successful manifesting always means taking the easy road – that discomfort somehow means you’re blocking abundance.

So. Not. True.

So often the most powerful manifesting results arrive when we’re brave enough to step into discomfort.

That cold blast has become a sacred moment where I get to choose courage over comfort. It’s where I tell my nervous system, “We can do hard things and still stay safe.”

The Universe doesn’t need us feeling comfortable all-the-time – the Universe needs us to be REAL.

When you practice courageous manifesting, you’re rewiring your relationship with possibility, showing you can hold discomfort and magic at the same time.

Every time you choose your highest path, even when it’s challenging, you’re building manifesting superpowers that the comfort-zone crowd will never access.

So what’s YOUR cold-water-to-the-face moment?

What tiny brave step might completely revolutionize how you manifest your reality? (it’s usually the uncomfortable actions that change everything!).
