Cold shower is the fastest energy booster you can get in the morning.
PROS:
– radically improves physical and mental wellness [1]
– practiced daily boosts your immune, lymphatic, circulatory and digestive systems
– burns fat / increase weight-loss by boosting your metabolism
– immediately makes you feel happy and proud of yourself
– boosts your creativity, willpower and productivity
– even one minute / day can make the difference!
CONS:
– there is only ONE – the initial fear of stepping into a cold shower
But no worries! Just jump in and breath slowly. After 10-20 seconds, you’re fine.
“If you can’t do something uncomfortable and difficult in the shower, how the hell are you going to do something uncomfortable or difficult in real life?
People can survive hypothermia [3] for thirty to sixty minutes. Your shower is not as cold as a frozen lake and you won’t even get close to hypothermia. If you must, have a space heater waiting for you when you get out.
I’ve never met anyone who’s tried it and regretted doing it. Literally no one.” [2]
So who’s in with me, guys? 🙂
