Why Finding Space Matters for Your Health

In a world that moves faster every day, carving out moments of stillness and reflection has never been more essential. The start of a new year offers the perfect chance to reset, recentre, and reconnect with what truly matters—your health and wellbeing. At Found—Space, this philosophy drives everything we do: creating the ideal environment for you to Find Space in your day.

The holiday season, while full of joy and connection, often leaves us feeling overstimulated and drained. Social gatherings, long to-do lists, and non-stop celebrations can easily overshadow the need for personal time. Finding space is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. It’s about creating moments for mental clarity, physical recovery, and emotional balance.

This January, take the time to slow down and focus on what replenishes you. Prioritize stillness, embrace your wellness rituals, and most importantly, dedicate time to care for yourself.

The Science of Infrared Sauna Benefits

One of the most effective ways to recentre is through infrared sauna therapy. A sauna session creates a haven of warmth and quiet, allowing your body to shift into a parasympathetic state—often called the “rest and digest” mode. This state is where true recovery happens, both physically and mentally.

Scientific studies highlight the transformative benefits of sauna therapy:

• Nervous System Regulation: Infrared heat reduces cortisol levels, helping your body relax and recover from daily stressors.
• Mood Enhancement: Saunas stimulate the release of endorphins, your body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals, which promote a sense of calm and happiness.
• Heart Health and Circulation: Regular sauna use boosts cardiovascular health by increasing circulation and heart rate, offering benefits akin to moderate exercise.

When you step into a sauna, you’re not just engaging in physical detoxification—you’re granting yourself the permission to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your inner self. A study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine even links regular sauna use to reduced risks of cardiovascular disease and improved longevity.

Cold Plunge Therapy for Mental Clarity and Resilience

In contrast to the gentle warmth of the sauna, cold plunge therapy offers its own form of renewal. The invigorating rush of cold water stimulates your body’s stress-response system in a controlled, therapeutic way, leading to profound benefits.

Research underscores the effectiveness of cold exposure:

• Mental Resilience: Cold plunges train your nervous system to manage stress more effectively by activating the vagus nerve, promoting a state of recovery and balance.
• Energy and Focus: The immediate release of norepinephrine during cold exposure enhances mood, sharpens focus, and boosts mental clarity.
• Reduced Inflammation: Regular cold exposure lowers inflammation markers, aiding recovery and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

The clarity you experience as you emerge from a cold plunge is more than just physical refreshment—it’s a testament to your ability to embrace discomfort and grow through challenges. Research from FoundMyFitness further highlights how cold exposure supports neurotransmitter activity, enhancing overall wellbeing.
