Day 6 | River Thames Cold Therapy | Raising Awareness for Mental Health + Steem
This is the full video for Day 6 of my River Thames Cold Therapy + some after thoughts!
The clip of the jump is already posted on Twitter and Instagram.

It was tough to do it this morning, but watch the video to see me do a semi-decent belly flop into the river, and also for my after vlog ;)
You can read the back story of why I'm doing this on my post a few days ago: https://steemit.com/dtube/@redrica/fhbajd67
But the gist is: I am jumping into the river for cold therapy, a new commitment I'm adding into my Mental Health practice. I am posting clips of myself doing this and posting it on Social Media to help raise awareness for Mental Health, and also Steem and Crypto.
Soon I will be taking suggestions and donations in Crypto!
The plan is:
Every day at approximately 8am GMT, I will be posting a clip of me jumping into River Thames on Twitter and Instagram
What I wear and do before I jump in, will differ every day, and will most likely be a bit kooky.
I will usually only post a clip on Twitter, and will post the full video on Dtube and Youtube.
ANY SUPPORT APPRECIATED!
Let me know if you have any fun suggestions or thoughts!
And feel free to send me lots of encouragement, it helps a lot :)
Much Love from Red

Great work definitely a great therapy. Have you heard of the https://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/ 💯🐒
No I haven't! But I know of a place near me that some gather for some cold lake swimming.
Thanks for sharing, will check them out :)
I've just go into it trying to find people around me up for it 💯🐒
Hahahahah! OMG, epic belly flop haha. Your neighbours are now thinking you're mad haha
Better than yesterday, yes, but I can do better :P
And there is a very good reason I do these early in the morning, when there aren't usually any people out in their gardens, or on the other side of the river! As far as I know, no one else saw this happen hahaha :D
LOL. I guess :)
You're someone's alarm clock. That splash is bound to wake people up haha.
Haha they can thank me later :P
Also bro bro, thanks for resteeming so many of these! You know I love you long time.

Thanks again

Aw thanks Darren! Spur of the moment idea that I've decided to bring to reality. It's helping me tons, and I'm feeling the purpose even stronger, after this week, to keep at it. Thank you too for all you do!!

Yea keep it up ! Are you increasing the time you spend in the cold ? I was told to gradually increase it to 15 mins, furthest I got was 5 mins, but it was in the winter when it was cold already, I did notice that I didn't get cold for the rest of the day ! Big hugs x
It crossed my mind to, but not for this first week! To be fair, after the initial shock, I'm totally ok to stay in there. I don't want the videos to be super long though, so if I stay in for longer next time, I'll probably only mainly film the jump. Hugs!
Another wonderful braveness from you. Thank you for this lovely post
