Cold showers have been proven to boost you energy and improve your immune system. These are not the only benefits either. Taking showers in cold water also builds mental toughness. You can break through so many mental barriers by putting your body in this uncomfortable situation. Mind over matter as they say.
I try to take cold showers about 5 times a week. It helps keep my body from being so sore after workouts and I get a rush of energy afterwards. Even if you try it for a week you can get better at handling times when you are out of your comfort zone.
This is a tough challenge for many people but your mind is much stronger than you think. Don't let your mind tell you otherwise. This is a great way to become tougher mentally and challenge your body and mind.
Would you take cold showers? Have you ever taken cold showers? If so, how did you feel afterwards?

Bro Yes!! I never hear of anyone taking cold showers, I think a mentor I had years back told me that it was good practice for success. I tried it for a while and kind of forgot about it. I might give it a try again after seeing this post!

I had a go at a cold shower this morning following Phil's and your advice. I lasted 5 seconds, but I did feel energized. But tomorrow more concentration on breathing and I know what to expect. I will be a mistress over the water.
I have been reading a few of your posts, I like your style, had a look after finding we were joint inspirations.

5 seconds? That's better than most people I know. The biggest help is the breathing. Long deep breaths. It really helps. Thanks for the compliment. I plan on checking your work out too!

Not sure since the heat from the cigarette warms you up. Now if you go in the freezing weather and stand for about 5 minutes without anything to heat you then you're in business haha.

Mental stress may be due to individual reasons. And there is a need for analysis to reduce this pressure. It is possible to get solution through detailed review of mental stress due to its own weaknesses. If this happens due to any problem, then it may be a problem arising from the problem.

Just jump in the cold shower like you would jump in to help a friend!
The skin feels tighter and it shines after a cold shower, you feel like your skin just got 5 years younger.

Thank you! I dropped golden advice about fear, anxiety & discomfort in that video.
Staying in freeze water without blinking or hyperventilation is beast as well!
That explains why you take them so easily.

Cold shower in the warmer season or cool in colder when you need to refresh and keep energized. You can't keep working or study when you feel too warm. The best performance and you will stay alert it is in cooler temperature. When we perform our mental and physical functions, we use glucose. Excessive heat and unwanted cold are not equally challenged. Cooling down requires more energy than warming up.
Our bodies work to maintain homeostasis therefore we use a large amount of glucose. Glucose is used for mental processes, while exposed to heat our capacity for cognitive functioning is reduced, affecting our decision-making abilities.
In cooler environment your cognitive function performing better.
Therefore, taking a cool shower improves your cognitive thinking and at the same time energizes you and keeps your mind refreshed and focused.

After every warm shower I have a cold one and it became habit. I always think it triggers energies, maybe that’s what you talk about. I consider a complete cold shower with no “warming up” a method to shake off random scattered thoughts that distract or disturb me :)

Focus is also something that it is improved with cold showers. Like you said it helps overcome distractions. When you're in the water the first thing you focus on is how cold it is. Then you can switch your focus to something else.

So I've been taking cold showers for about a year now. When I first started I would turn the water on the coldest setting and jump right in. I still do this. Usually I stay in the water for about 10 minutes. But for you maybe try doing 5 minutes and work your way up to more minutes.

I've started taking cold showers. I feel so much better afterwards and refreshed and awake. Hot showers feel better in the moment but for some reason leave me tired.
