Why Finding Space Matters for Your Health

As the pace of modern life accelerates, it becomes increasingly vital to carve out moments of stillness and intention. The start of a new year offers the perfect opportunity to reset, recentre, and reconnect with what truly matters—your health and wellbeing. At Found—Space, this idea is central to everything we do: creating the ultimate environment for you to Find Space in your day.

The holiday season, while joyful, can often leave us feeling overstimulated and exhausted. Between social commitments, endless to-do lists, and the whirlwind of celebrations, it’s easy to neglect yourself. But finding space isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. It’s about creating room for mental clarity, physical recovery, and emotional balance.

This January, we invite you to slow down and prioritize what fuels you. Make space for stillness, for your wellness routines, and most importantly, for you.

The Science of Infrared Sauna Benefits

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

Scientific studies support the profound benefits of sauna therapy:

• Nervous System Regulation: Infrared heat reduces cortisol levels, helping your body relax and recover from stress.
• Mood Enhancement: Saunas stimulate the release of endorphins, your body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals.
• Heart Health and Circulation: Regular sauna use improves cardiovascular health by increasing heart rate and circulation, similar to moderate exercise.

When you step into the sauna, you’re not just sweating out toxins—you’re giving yourself permission to pause, breathe, and focus inward. A study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine even links regular sauna use to reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and improved longevity.

Cold Plunge Therapy for Mental Clarity and Resilience

In contrast to the warmth of the sauna, cold plunge therapy offers its own form of renewal. The immediate rush of plunging into cold water activates your body’s stress-response system—but in a controlled, therapeutic way.

Research highlights the benefits of cold exposure:

• Mental Resilience: Cold plunges train your nervous system to handle stress more effectively by activating the vagus nerve and promoting parasympathetic recovery.
• Energy and Focus: Cold exposure triggers the release of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that enhances mood, alertness, and mental clarity.
• Reduced Inflammation: Studies show that regular cold exposure decreases inflammation, which is linked to improved recovery and reduced risk of chronic diseases.

Immersing yourself in cold water isn’t just a physical reset—it’s a mental one. That moment of clarity as you emerge from the plunge reflects your strength and capacity to grow through challenges. Research from FoundMyFitness highlights how cold exposure stimulates neurotransmitters like norepinephrine, enhancing focus, mood, and mental resilience.
