Colder Showers: they will teach you all you need to know

So I took the advice of many people who swore by cold showers, not only as a solid NoFap tip, but also as a helpful discipline in life. What I learned in the past few days of freezing cold showers in the morning, during winter, is this:

- The cold showers teach you how to master your FEAR of jumping in the shocking cold water: you see, the discomfort of cold temperature is NOTHING compared to the psychological discomfort of convincing yourself to get under the shower hose. You eventually learn that you simply have to psychologically pump yourself up before stepping in confidently with courage in your heart. This is pretty much the essence of fear mastery. It awakens your primal reflexes. You will notice your breathing becoming very "primordial", your muscles firm and ready for taking on a great BEAST, and this is just an amazing feeling to experience!

- The cold showers teach you how to stay PRESENT in the moment and eliminate all unnecessary thought: during the cold shower, you will notice that there is no room for your mind to go astray. You are constantly shaking and rubbing yourself energetically because the second you stop to think, your body will freeze and you will start shivering. The only way to feel "comfortable" under the hose is by remaining focused on breathing, shaking all over, and rubbing your limbs, torso, and back vigorously.
Just imagine the bliss of heaving a peaceful mind, free from all those unnecessary thoughts, the regret, the grief, the anxiety, ALL GONE while you are taking a cold shower.

So if you haven't tried cold showers and were looking for a cool habit (no pun intended) to add to your NoFap arsenal, I highly recommend that you do because the synergy they provide with this journey is absolutely breathtaking (again no puns intended)!

 

An awesome tip for cold shower veterans!
