5 THINGS I LEARNED FROM 150 DAYS OF COLD SHOWERS
[A MINI THREAD]
1. ANYONE CAN DO IT
Nobody loves hot water as much as me.
When I was a child, the hottest pool in the water park always looked like this: a bunch of 80-year-olds and a 12-year-old me. It wouldn't be much different today.
If I could start taking cold showers, anyone can.
How?

2. START SLOW
I tried cold showers before, but I always failed because I went full cold from the beginning.
So here's a strategy that worked for me:
1) Start with 10 seconds at the end of each shower
2) Progress weekly with longer time and colder water
3) Do it every day

3. IT REALLY WORKS
All the crap about improving your immune system seems to be true. At least for me.
I used to get sick all the time. Sore throat, runny nose...all I needed was some exposure to colder weather or strong AC.
Since cold showers, I haven't been sick once.

4. I AM MORE RESILIENT
I am no longer such a sissy about cold.
Thanks to cold showers, I am more resilient and it brings me a strange feeling of new confidence and toughness.
I don't claim I suddenly love being cold.
But it doesn't bother me nearly as much as it used to.

5. GREATEST BENEFIT = DISCOMFORT
That being said, I think cold showers will never be 100% comfortable for me.
And that's good.
Even if there was no health benefit at all, it helps me to embrace discomfort in my everyday life.
For me, it's the biggest benefit of cold showers.

That's it. Let me know about your experience.
