Day 9: Cold Water Therapy
Cold water really sucks – making myself get naked and stand in front of the shower head first thing in the morning sucks even more. But on the upside, making yourself do things you don’t want to do, makes it so you have an easier time making yourself do things you don’t want to do…

Day 8: Cold Water Therapy
My son ended up sleeping in, so I had to drop him off at the sitters. When I got home, I took a shower – it wasn’t as difficult to stand under the water going cold at full blast today. The water temp did seem to get warmer, I had the realization if I really…

Day 7: Cold Water Therapy
I made myself get into the shower after taking my son to his babysitter – I woke up late because I was not feeling good last night when I went to bed. I had to turn the faucet back to cold after starting it with hot – because I’m still not feeling the best. Holy…

Day 6: Cold Water Therapy
I took a shower last night after I got home from training and then slept in the morning. By the time I got to realizing I hadn’t taken a shower, it was around 6pm so I wasn’t going to wake myself up to only go to bed a few hours later. So no cold water…

Day 3: Cold Water Therapy
I still don’t know if it’s just because there’s a section of the water main on my house that’s exposed to the outside overnight that the water seems so much colder when I first get in the shower – or if it’s just that my body adapts, but damn it’s COLD. I guess the real…

Day 2: Cold Water Therapy
I peeled myself out of bed after some internal arguing and I got into the shower. I flipped the shower on before I could think about it and brrrr. Soooo cold. But again like yesterday it got less cold after a minute or two – I don’t know if that’s just from water sitting outside…

Cold Water Therapy
So after deciding to put an end to Embracing Warriorship as I kept “failing” at my goals. As I was up and journaling this morning, I realized I had started to put too many “big” habit changes into my day. So I needed to throttle back. Yeah I can definitely add changes into my day…
