pull down to refresh
That's one healthy habit that I've decided to just take the L on. Good for you for sticking with it.
I took a shower in glacier water once! That was the last time I ever wanted to take a cold shower. The water had just come off of a glacier in the Himalayas, slightly mineralize (you could see sparkles in the water). I wasn’t so sure it would be that icy cold, even after I tried it with my hand. I must say, it made for a very fast shower, though.
I've been in plenty of cold glacier water out in the wild, but in the warmth of my own home, I choose hot water.
I recently heard a great expression. "There's such a thing as a hot bath and there's such a thing as a good bath. Most people want a good bath. A hot bath might be a good bath but a good bath is always a good bath."
The context was well outside the scope of this saloon but I'm reminded of something and let's just assume it's a squirrel.
RIP Peanut.
I used to sit in the Japanese bath until I almost fell asleep. Once I did fall asleep in the bath. That was a huge mistake! I almost could not get out of the bath.
Japanese baths are nice and hot, up to your neck. You get the all over heat treatment.
Yes, this is also squirrelly.
I think Peanut ripped them a good one! A brand new a**hole during the election.
Just what they deserved.
Yes, I prefer hot water. Since I am not in Japan any more, I cannot get the ol’ fashoned, up to the neck, style of bath. Those were definitely the days!!!!
I will say that having done this for two years I feel great afterward so I'm doing a micro time preference reduction in my head before I jump in.
That's a great experience. I'll bet that if you could do it every day you would, because it's moving, you know it's above 32 fahrenheit/ 0 celsius. And you didn't die after the first try.
When I go in I tense my diaphragm and push out my breath then I'm thinking, "Let's go!" Which is the 29th Infantry motto and my former National Guard Division!
That’s great! But I will never try it again!
agree most of us need to focus on the 90% before this type of optimization is needed...
cold plunge was most exhilarating than I thought but dont think I could do it daily. i would like to see a randomized controlled trial on benefits of a cold plunge vs 50 pushups in the morning for the average person.
I've been taking cold showers for about 2 years now. The initial jump in is still a dreaded experience.
