Cold Plunging With JENNIE | Vogue

where I started cold plunging a few years back while I was working on my body after hours of rehearsing for tour in Korea the sauna culture is really big so I would go to sauna like every single day and doing the cold plune right after was a natural thing for me the first time was a surprise I freaked out a little bit but instantly I felt like the soreness and tightness of my body went away and maybe because it was the first time I just had this instant boost in my mood and an overall emotional

relief it's like a reset button for your body by the time I'm in front of the water I prep my mental it's usually [Music] sorry I'm like I instantly imagine what I did and it's usually like me kind of freaking out but you're going to see a lot of that today I feel like I should be running warm off a little I'm ready I'm not scared what a beautiful view view to have while you cold plunge I'm not delaying my challenge right now it's usually a form of like just letting go of my anxiety I

jump around sometimes to get my blood flowing I normally try to slow my breathing that already gives you a calm energy kind of prepare your mind as I put my foot into the water there's an instant pain oh my God that's when you got to really start breathing in really slowly remind yourself to be calm and that this is okay you can breathe through this once your body is in the water you're going to feel this tingle but you really got to believe in yourself I often tell myself to toughen up like this is just

Why water like you're not going to die in this water I tell myself that this is something that I want to do and it's not for the pain it's for the relief and saying those words to me inspired me to finish that time limit that you set yourself before you get in the second you walk in is when you want to get out but I usually like to set my goals so I would set an alarm for 2 minutes and 30 seconds and when the alarm goes off and I'm still able to like hold this

coldness I tell myself let's see how long I can do today I recommend to to go like 5 Seconds more every single time even like 10 seconds maybe and gradually your body learned to deal with this pain and you feel so proud of yourself one of the main reasons why I started cold plunging was to recover myself after doing lots of performances and doing tours I was overworking my body and every night I would go to sleep in pain and I couldn't figure out how to treat myself when and I was in these situations where

my muscles were tightened up and by doing cold plunge it taught me how to embrace tension and help me push through challenges whether in my personal life or creativity working on this album I would say cold plunging was number one thing that helped me get through mentally because it was a tough time like I I push myself to be in a studio every single day for a couple months that's how I ended in the Night by doing a cold plunge and it it refreshed me and that's how I reset myself for the next day as

much as I love it I get scared every single time but breaking through that fear and pushing myself to do it every day kind of motivated me and made me believe that I am tougher than I think I am you know you're really doing it for yourself there's no one watching okay I'm ready to jump out now as soon as I walk out I wrap myself with Tow and also in this part breathing is really important I would say the more you panic the more you're going to hate the feeling after you walk out so

I breathe and I calm myself down I'm taking a little bit but I think it's because the air is cold today but I feel good and immediately you can feel your blood flowing flowing float see now I'm just like lost in this interview I'm just so pressured about being like the ambassador of cold plunge right now and I want to do it right immediately you feel your blood flowing in your body and you feel good you feel energetic you feel ready to go yay thank you F this was a very special experience for me and

hope you guys try it out bye [Music]
