ULOG: DAY 11 & 12 - COLD SHOWER: 21 DAY CHALLENGE
The challenge continues and I've had a bit more resistance than I expected to face in this challenge. I welcome the resistance. A handful of days ago...well into this challenge I decided to up the ante on this challenge for myself and decided to push the point of cold showers first thing in the morning....initially I kind of hedged the challenge of this...making it easier in that I worked out a bit first.....while now...I've upped the resistance/difficulty and made it about doing a cold shower first thing in the morning...as like my first mini workout of the day.
After I get in the cold shower - every single time I am fine - I in fact feel consistently better every time I get out of the cold shower. I mean it's the resistance to starting that is the most challenging for me...even when I am very committed to going in...jumping in...taking the plunge....it's like there's this false comfort in my in "hesitation"...where it's like this kind of thinking indulgence of 'waiting'....like maybe if I just first stall here for a minute and ponder off onto a wander of whatever I can think of to wonder about....this in a way kind of dead air....because it's a bit of a stalling and postponement...and it sucks.
So this little point of 'postponement' has revealed itself more clearly to me within disciplining myself to walk through a resistance exercise first thing in the morning with the cold shower.
- Self-Trust and Self-Worth are core issues within "postponement" to investigate.

how cold is your water? Its summer here and my cold water just isnt cold enough. In the winter I was going into brain comas after the shower. Now its just whatever!
it definitely could be more ice cold for sure. definitely cold. Sounds like you've built up a tolerance and appetite at a more intense level of cold...and ya, "its just whatever!" Haha - totally.
No way! Everytime I turn the shower on at cold I look at it panic for a brief second and the moment I hit the height of my panic I get under the shower head and let me blast me. I keep telling myself I won't let myself reach that panic point, but it's sort of thrilling and wakes you up!
hahaha - The Panic moment. That's funny and well defined. Way to articulate it!
it definitely can be kind of thrilling - I never thought about that - and yes definitely wakes you up - forrrr surrrre.
