Okay, so you know by now that cold showers are awesome. Great.

Now good luck waking up tomorrow morning and taking one (regardless of how amped up you are now).

It’s hard to take the plunge.

So I think some words of encouragement are in order.

First: As Phil Drolet, of TheFeelGoodLifestyle says:

What would the best version of you do?
No one else is gonna push you into that shower (unless you have an asshole older brother). You just have to take the plunge. And every time you do it, it will get easier. If you want to be the best version of yourself, you have to step outside your comfort zone.

Second: As Michael Anderson, Author of The Experiment says:

Turn it into an experiment
The thought of taking cold showers every day for the rest of your life is daunting. Like making any other lifestyle change that your mind perceives as permanent. But Michael Anderson helps people overcome this daunting feeling, by having his clients turn things like this into an experiment.

So here’s your experiment.

All you have to do, is take a cold shower tomorrow morning, and see how you feel. You can start hot, but end cold, for at least 1 minute. Then see how you feel. If you liked it, then do it again the next day and see how two days in a row made you feel.

It’s just an experiment, not a permanent life change.

Third: My advice

– Write down on a whiteboard or pad: Cold Showers

– Now make 30 boxes, one for each day

– Commit now to checking those 30 boxes off

– After the 30 days, you can decide to keep going or not. (I bet you’ll keep going)

But whatever you do, don’t be too serious about it and have fun. If it’s gonna stress you out, then it’s not worth it. This is supposed to improve your life, not scare you to death.

I've been taking cold showers on weekday mornings, and warm showers on weekends and it's working brilliantly.
