Go to sauna 2-3 times a week ( my best productivity and mental-health hack)

I was quite depressed last year due to some issues in personal life + startup not really taking off.
Tried meditation, herbs, sports etc.

Then I read an article that Fins are some of the happiest ppl on the planet because they do sauna very often. I never liked sauna. It always felt gross to sit there sweaty with random ppl around.


But since I had nothing to loose, I was like fuck it, let's try.


First time it felt okeish, and I spent only 5 minutes there. But I forced myself to go again, and again.

It took me 8 visits to be able to stay in hot sauna for 15-20 minutes. And once you can sustain that, you can finally experience the healing impact of the sauna.


You just feel present, relaxed and not giving a fuck. All your bad thoughts just go aways. You are here and now. And even after you are finished and go home, you still feel much better.


My sleep is better, my mood is better and now sauna feels like a drug for me. If I don't go there at least 2 times per week, I feel like something is missing.


Don't take xanax or other drugs - GO TO SAUNA.

Dubs and we get total collapse tomorrow
