Day 14: Cold Water Therapy
I got out of bed without much time to spare, but I did get my journaling done before I jumped into the shower. I’m getting interested in sauna/heat therapy for the health benefits, not to mention there’s actually a physiological response to being really uncomfortably hot that you can learn to control. Although said response…

Day 13: Cold Water Therapy
I found out the faucet in my bathtub can go colder – I’d assumed the coldest was a quarter turn around the circle of travel. Nope. The water flows really good before that, and the water is COLD. Whew! Mentally I still resist the process like crazy – but then I turn off my mind…

Day 10/11: Cold Water Therapy
I had a really busy couple of days, I still made myself take cold showers including waking up in a hotel yesterday. I realize my willingness to simply be uncomfortable has been increasing in my day to day life. I take a cold a shower all and then all day, my body is feeling a…

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 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 5: Cold Water Therapy
This morning started off as a bit of a shit-show. My poor wife had been up all night with food poisoning – and I was supposed to go south all day to do some training at a martial arts seminar. But I knew I couldn’t leave her alone to take care of our son in…

Day 4: Cold Water Therapy
I came home feeling like crap yesterday and this unfortunately carried over to this morning. I still made myself take a shower, I didn’t do straight cold water – but – I did make myself leave it on the coldest warm water setting I could and then I still did some straight cold water therapy…

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…
