Cold shower thoughts

Last year august I decided to experiment with taking cold showers right after I wake up.

It helped to kickstart my day, so I kept up the habit for around 8 months. I cheated a bit by spending the winter season in the tropics, but still a cold showers is a cold shower ;)

When I got back in the netherlands in March, I just couldn’t bring myself to take cold showers anymore. Acclimatizing from the tropics to the Dutch weather and taking cold showers in the morning appeared too great of a challenge for me. During the day my bones seemed to be made out of ice, so I took a three week break.

This week I decided to start taking cold showers again. At the moment it feels like I am trying to answer the question: “How fast can I take a shower?”. I started with 10 seconds on monday, after 5 days I am at 35 seconds. My goal is to have a 1 minute cold shower each morning.
