Cold showers. Seems a big thing.

I have been washing my hands with pure cold water since I started my guided meditations a few years ago on youtube. I cannot take cold shower, or else I get really bad shivers in the morning and more like a shock treatment. Truth. But I do other things that help me over come my jedi urges, such as seeing the sunset and the sunrise every day, waking up at five am in the morning to eat breakfast and see the sunrise and the light come out and working out and doing yoga. I can also do the hamstring strretch as well too. Peace to you friend.

 

Okay, I will give this a try. On the plus side, maybe it will keep me awake to in the morning as well. Best wishes. I will start with my hands first tomorrow morning.

 

I take cold shower every morning and night. It’s been like 4 months. I can say that it doesn’t get any better with time. I always watch the shower from a distance before take a shower. Like, shit, I know it’s gonna be cold. (My shower is ice cold from the begginning up until the end/so yeah I jump in the shower like a crazy bonobo when the first icy cold stream of water touches my skin).

When I’m done, I always feel better. Like if I was weightless. I feel like I’m less shitty. Especially in these types of morning you simply want to die and skip school/work. Sex related, I don’t know. I’m here to try the NoFap experience because my sex life is a bit frustrating down there. But otherwise, it is for me a pretty good experience and I’m curious about the fact if i’ll keep it that way with the harsh winters that we have down here in Canada!

Briefly. I feel more energetic, happy, less stressed, feel like I’m doing something with my life and I have a boost of confidence (I feel like a gladiator each time I toke a cold icy shower). Don’t go to crazy about it, or DO IT like I do. JUST GO KN. You won’t die. Good luck buddy

 

Love them. Might get back into them. As of now I am not going near them since I caught a cold.

 

I currently do hot & cold showers, I try to keep the shower quick (used to be hot only and take ages), and I always end it with cold water.

I've done a few months cold only too. Both seem to make me feel better. But the cold only has a greater effect, and saves on water and gas bills that's for sure....

Recently going through winter, where lots of people around me had the flu, I didn't catch anything. This could just be coincidence. But I have read there's a science to these benefits which include a greater immune system.

I also only wash my hair with cold water now, and there has been a slow improvement in my hair growth (was steadily thinning before).

 

Yeah bro it is though and very long... it’s a big change than in the summer. Summer can reach 40 C and winter can go up (down?) to -40 C. Haha. Terrible weather

 

I've not been that sensitive to cold showers but I really like going through the countdown and remind myself to be strong routine before taking the bath.

 

It relieves my anxiety and kind of dulls the need to relapse. Some people live by it, and i do think it is beneficial. I usually do it before a big social event or before I hang out with a girl. It's really not as bad as you'd think. Just sucks during the winter

 

It is one of the best things I've been doing for 2-3 years. Yes, I've switched to hot showers; but mainly cold. It does remove any depression and it does seem to make me more able to do the difficult tasks. They're harder to do in the winter but more rewarding afterwards.
