Challenge 30 · 30 days
Cold Showers
Can I face discomfort on purpose?
“I turn discomfort into power.”
Why this challenge
You have already practiced choosing smaller discomforts.
Now you repeatedly enter a controlled discomfort and discover that an unpleasant sensation can exist without becoming the boss of your behavior.
What you do
Finish every shower with at least 60 seconds of cold water.
Enter the discomfort deliberately.
Safety
The water should be cold enough to create a strong discomfort response, but safe.
Keywords

The point
- Finish every shower with at least 60 seconds of cold water.

- Count out loud, from 1 to 60. Breathe and relax. Focus on the power you build.
