A Glorious 12°C | River Thames Cold Therapy | Day 24
I finally have the thermometer to check the temperature of the river.
It felt like the normal coldness when I jumped in, which is River Thames' average 12°C, and I was right! I am so intrigued to see which days the river is actually colder than I expect!
Watch the video for more!
You can read the back story of why I'm doing this here: https://steemit.com/dtube/@redrica/fhbajd67
But the gist is: I am doing cold plunges into the river for cold therapy, a new morning ritual I'm doing for my mental wellness. I am posting clips of myself doing this and posting it on Social Media to help raise awareness for Mental Health, and also Steem.
The plan is:
Every day at approximately 8/9 am GMT, I will be posting a clip of me jumping into River Thames on Twitter and Instagram
I will usually only post a clip on Twitter and Instagram, and will post the full video on Dtube and Youtube.

Thank you so much to everyone who've been following and supporting me so far! I really appreciate all of it!
Let me know if you have any fun suggestions or thoughts!
Much Love from Red

That's pretty similar to the sea temperature here. It's about 11.8 I think. I wonder if the Thames mirrors Hove. The best we get is usually a few days of 19 degrees in August, in a good year. 😁
Ohhh I'd love to have a swim in the sea at this temperature, now that I've grown an appreciation for it! That Brighton visit might be coming soon ;)
You're always welcome anytime. 😍
Upvoted!
Wow..this is impressive! Have you been experiencing the benefits?
Absolutely! I originally did it mainly to help with my mental health, but it turned out to have benefited me in a lot more ways than I ever expected. I am now a lot more balanced, fearless, motivated, productive, have a stronger immune system, and stronger mind, amongst other things! I am truly amazed myself, and so glad I decided to do this :)
Go you!
