I've been taking cold showers every single morning for about 3 years now, which is crazy to think about. I've noticed myself becoming more able to face difficult situations easier, and more willingly.
As for new habits, I'm becoming more aware about the light that I consume on a daily basis, and also getting more sun in general. Sunning nude lately as well when it's nice out (I have a secret spot that I go to ha).
Even in winter? That’s impressive. I know you probably have central heating and all that, but still…
I actually stopped after returning to Japan last Dec since their custom is to luxuriate in hot waters in a bathtub haha. Then, when I came back, it was the monsoon surge. Anyway, after reading your comment, I took a cold shower this morning despite the chilly weather. It was not as difficult as I had expected haha! So thanks.
I like the point about cold showers building our resilience

I do it every single morning. Winter, summer. Sometimes I dont want to, but after so long of doing it I quickly overcome that feeling and just do it. I sometimes laugh while I'm in there. Make it a game, and it's cool once you learn a little bit more about how cold / light effect your mitochondria. As Kruse says, health and wealth are linked.
Love Japan. I've been a couple of times. Traveled there doing some documentary photography for a band called Vasudeva, and also Corey Mastrangelo (guitarist). You would enjoy their music. I also worked on making most of the album art:

Cool. You made me Google mitochondria; I didn’t know that before haha.
Must be fun working with people from different countries!

balls, always balls.
But yes, that's impressive. I was doing OK a year or so back with the cold plunges (twice a week). Stopped.
And once you fall out of that it's sooo hard to come back in (uh-hu, so painful!)

Haha consistency is key!
