No Cold River for Me Today

in health •  6 years ago 

A much needed break today from my current morning routine of jumping in the cold River Thames, because I was feeling very depleted yesterday.

It was raining all night and all morning, and I heard a storm was coming, so it was the perfect time to not do the jump anyway. I do love when things work out nicely.

So although I didn't jump in the river, I did feel like going out in the rain. Just to sit down and meditate for a bit.

It was beautiful...

I've missed feeling the raindrops on my skin. It was chilly, but nowhere near as cold as the river of course. I had a cold shower afterwards, so don't worry I still got my cold fix ;)

I'm not doing my cold jump tomorrow either, because I won't be home to. So in a way, it'll be a great opportunity to miss my cold river for a bit!

Now, time to chill and have my me date!

If this was Facebook, I would add the “wow” emoji. That is an interesting habit. I have heard that cold water is good for you, but I’m a warm water gal, myself. We spend so much time being cold here in Minnesota that to purposely jump into cold water has little appeal! Of course, we do have the annual “polar plunge” in January, where they cut a hole in the ice and people jump into it. It’s a huge fundraiser. 😁

That polar plunge sounds amazing (definitely not something I'd say 3 weeks ago though, before starting my cold jump habit :P)!!

Yea I got the idea to do it because of the Wim Hof Method. I was in serious need of doing something crazy and good for me for my mental health, and hence the cold river jumps! I've been doing them every day for 3 weeks, and they've been helping me so so much, in so many ways. But today, a break was needed :)

Sometimes we need consistency in our life but as important is not to disregard completely our feelings. Intuition can tell you that a break is well deserved my dear woman warrior. Hugs and love
