Getting under a jet of cold water is a challenge. Everyday before a jump into it I remember that I am strong, that I can face my fears, that I can challenge the limits of myself. It's a decision to face hardships head on. Btw, 39/30
Day 1 I forgot about this and ended up taking a hot shower for half and then I remembered and so I switched it to cold for the other half. I forgot how shocking a cold shower is but it does feel good.
Day 4. Just a question. Is it normal to feel hot all the time after only taking Cold Showers? As I live on a cold weather this is good for me, but when I get into my house I just can't stand so much heat I feel in my body what I didn't feel before, as my house is warm unlike outside.
30 DAYS Cold Shower plus optional Wim Hof Method Because I've become a whiner first-warm-than-cold-shower is allowed. Challenge starts tomorrow morning.
Day 2: Cold shower the entire time. I've been starting with the nob placed just to the right of center and then progressively turning it further into the cold side. I am trying to keep myself from shivering which involves slow deep breathes and probably will power.
Another day . I started the day with exercise and a cold shower. I think ive done 3 days on this challenge but have taken cold showers for 24 days straight now. It's becoming easier as time goes on and is a practice I plan to stick with. A few years ago I broke both feet in an accident and afterward developed some varicose veins. Since doing the showers they seem to have all but disappeared. Apart from that it's a good way to start the day. Part of the reason I took up the challenge was too develop discipline and more mental toughness. Anyway ------Another day one day at a time.
missed a day bc of porn binging. SHIT. what a puppet I am, can't stand it. I'm making all my challenges smaller for a better goal-getting and motivation. So instead of 30 days I will aim at 10 days here. Fresh start in the morning 0/10
Day 3: Everything went well. I'm starting to notice that I'm not crazy uncomfortable at the beginning of the shower like I was on day 1. I'm turning it colder more often during my showers now. I have also noticed something that I had never noticed before. I shave with a safety razor and I've noticed that the handle heats up after washing the head in hot water while shaving. Never noticed before since I was so warm. It only makes sense that it would heat up but still.
