Been taking cold showers on off and jumping in snow melt rivers and lakes for years now. Recently made cold showers more of a habbit. The most important benifit for me is that it teaches me to just relax and accept discomfort. It is the perfect metaphor for life. You are not always totaly ready to get in but you jsut breath and do it anyway. You push through and afterward you feel stronger, more clear, and more energized. Sometimes you just have to jump in. This transfers over into so many aspects of life. A perfect example being pick up. You see a pretty girl and you know it might be a bit awkward at first (The initial shock of cold water). You don't quite want to do it because of the potential discomfort. But you just breath and take the plunge. You stick with it and pretty soon you adjust. What was at first awkward (freezing cold) is now invigorating and puts you in the moment. And then, over time, The plunge becomes easier and easier. Just one deep breath in and on the exhale jump on in. And it feels good instantly. It becomes second nature. It is not neccisarly any less uncomfortable or awkward but you have learned have to accept it and just relax on through the experience. Cold showers for life!
