Been taking cold baths once a day for 6 days straight now. I absolutely dread going into cold water but I have managed to force myself to do it. I'm trying to force myself to ignore what my body and mind want. It's been an interesting journey so far. Today I noticed that my body and mind didn't bother trying to talk me out of going in. I'm doing this in the hope that I learn how to do things that I don't like doing with minimal resistance. One thing I don't like doing is confronting conflict. This is one of the reasons why PMO has been a problem for me. I've used it in the past as a way to escape reality. I'm trying to become stronger.
