Cold Shower Challenge!

I will try anything at this point.

I'm in.

 

Hi guys,
I'm also in !
Tried it today and it went better than expected. A trick : shivering is a body reflex to heat, but it consumes a lot of energy and aches. Breath deeply, try to relax and not shiver : it will go better.

 

I survived 5 minutes yesterday! It was terrible, but i felt great after that!

 

You get used to the cold the more you do it, this challenge is great for the summer!

 

Try putting music on while you're in the shower. Eventually you get usd to it after the 1st 30 seconds to a minute or so.

 

I was having cold showers everyday for a few months, was awesome.Such a relief from the tension and urges that go with NoFap. The weather has turned cool here now so I am not having them as often, I have to be careful I don't get the flu!

 

possibly...just keep your hair dry.

 

Can I hop on this crazy train? I'm curious about how it will serve me in South Florida in terms of temperature-adjustment.

 

I just did my 3rd Cold Shower in 3 days... it is really invigorating, and I can start to tell my motivation and self control are beginning to improve. The first 2 days I was shivering like crazy the whole time, but today there were a few moments where the shivering stopped and I was able to relax and it really helped.

I do this thing where I stand facing away from the cold water, and when it starts becoming bearable I'll turn 90 degrees, and I just repeat this till my 5 minute timer is done. That way your whole body feels the sensations, and you're forcing yourself to go through that uncomfortable feeling of cold water going on a different part of your body.

 

Congatulations! I did 3 cold showers in 5 days. I had similar feelenigs. Today I wasn't watching a time until my phone rung after 5 minutes, the first time.

 

When I started the NoFap challenge, I committed myself to take cold showers... After 51days of cold showers, I miserably failed yesterday...

Today was back to normal : 5minutes, 3-4°C degrees (I live next to the polar-circle, the water is cold for real here)

Should I consider that as a kind of relapse?

 

I wouldn't say I'm taking part in this challenge but I do take "cold" showers, well at least I'm getting there. I used to shower in boiling hot water so my cold is taking warm showers. I'm slowly lowering the temperature until I get to really cold temps.

 

You can't think of it as failing miserably. Keep a positive mindset. You had 51 days of successes and 1 day where you slipped up. And for the fact that the water there is that much colder... You Are The Man! Keep up the great work.

 

Hooray! Took my first cold shower yesterday even tho I relapsed afterwards (that was probably because I saw porn all evening before the cold shower). It was hard to get used to the cold at the beginnings, but later on it felt so good, I wanna do it everyday.

 

I have been showering cold for about a month now. It really gives me the push I need in the morning. I set a timer on 5 minutes and force myself to stay in the shower until the clock rings! I get a huge boost when I get out of the shower and are really relaxed for a long time after

 

I did it 6 times in 9 days. Cold showers still aren't pleasure, but they aren't so shocking like at start.

 

I've now been able to go from 5 minute cold showers to 10 minute cold showers. Definitely not easy to get here, but they've been helping. Cold showers really help when you get the urges to PMO.

 

I like this idea. The only way I can do it though, is if I start warm then slowly decrease the temp. Kind of a revers frog-in-boiling-water. Feels amazing actually!

 

I'm doing this, it feels awesome! Summer is coming too, which means cold showers are going to be a great way to cool off from the heat

 

I can barely make it past the 15-second mark. I wasn't as resistant to the cold as I thought.
