#Cold Showers

[chipmunkweirdo]

Imagine having a single train of thought. Couldn’t be me.

There’s at least 8 trains at once in here. Currently, the anxiety train is less active so it’s just the other 7 trains of thought.

Some move fast, some move slow. Some derail a lot, some don’t.

The weirdest thing is that I don’t mind. I enjoy it.

Doing chores while thinking about things at lightning speed and watching music videos and head TV is fun.

It took me only 10 minutes to unload the dishwasher the last few days. It typically takes an hour because I get DISTRACTED. So, I turned it into a race. I set a timer and saw how fast I could do it.

During the time I unloaded the dishwasher, I came up with 3 ideas for new mini tale fics, listened to 3 songs and enjoyed the constant chipmunk chatter in my head. (I wasn’t aware how much the anxiety had slowed that down. It’s very eye opening.)

Having less anxiety is WEIRD, but I don’t hate it. I’m thankful the cold showers have been working as an anxiety dimmer switch and a SUPER motivation booster. I didn’t have to try meds every day after all.

And I can MOVE FAST AGAIN! Without my increasing heart-rate triggering a panic! I forgot how fun it was to BE ENERGIZED!

Oof…look at me rambling as much as Alvin. Haha.

Piping hot showers or ice cold showers?

Neither, gotta love a lukewarm shower 😌

(It’s because I’m too sensitive things too hot and cold)

Have the people who recomend cold showers ever taken a cold shower?

I refuse to believe they have. A cold shower is one of the worst experiences a human can have, second only to birth and various violent deaths. Put me on a medival torture rack before a cold shower.

[mentalisttraceur-fitness]

Due to what was probably an ear infection, which I never went to a doctor for and which was maybe caused in part by letting myself do too long of a cold shower and then stay naked for too long after, I had stopped doing cold showers for a year or two.

A couple week ago I finally resumed cold showers, or at least brief cold rinses, because my ear is better enough that I feel comfortable with it. Not every day, but most days, for at least a minute or two.

Words really cannot describe how invigorated and alive I feel after each one. Then for a long time after I'll feel a light but deep sensation of lingering inner warmth just radiating out and keeping my skin comfortable from within.

But the more important benefit for me is that I end up feeling more comfortable with ambient cold at other times - not as much as right after a cold shower but it is a perceptible improvement.

If I let this subtle aspect of physical fitness go, I feel sensitive to cold all the time, and it makes my life kinda miserable. Really glad to finally start chipping away at this again.

How to Embrace Cold Showers 🥰🌸

✨Key: Focusing on your breathing is crucial in order to be comfortable with it.

Get in the tub and turn on the shower

Make the water warm first

After a minute, make the water cold.

While doing that, focus on your breathing by taking a big inhale & exhale. Forget that you're in the showers.

Repeat the breathing process multiple times till you're are comfortable with it.

I have tested this technique for weeks, and I'd like to say it works! Its like you have jumped into a pool and the water is cold at first. But after seconds, you'll get the hang of it. But YOU MUST do the breathing process in order to work.

Heartbreak and Cold Showers Are Not That Different

I constantly found myself avoiding discomfort. Whether that was presentations in class, talking during meetings, or mingling with new people. Especially when it came to dating. I avoided it like the plague for most of my life. No one ever told me what was right or wrong. Even with good role models (my parents), I still felt clueless. Why I started taking cold showers I had recently cut ties…
