Cold Showers

[krazzer]

Of course @Leo Gura should have done them, before making a video.

But cold showers seem to me extremely helpful and extremely practical.

Ik take showers 4x a week, and all of them cold, except on Sundays 1 minute warm to wash my hair. But even then I start cold and end cold. I've been doing this for 4 years. The duration is 30 conscious deep breaths.

The best thing about them is they force you to face your fear. I still fear them from time to time. The only way to stay under a cold shower is te become aware. If you're aware you can accept the pain. If you resist, it's undoable for any extended period of time. So it's meditation under extreme circumstances.

They also reduce stress, are good for your skin, save you money and it's better for the environment. They don't cost you any time, actually they save you time because most people stay in hot showers longer than necessary.

Funny this, I got shroomy this weekend as it had been 6 months since my last 'ceremony'. I had a shower later that night and just felt that having a cold shower was the right thing to do for the exact reasons you state.

You may not be afraid of them but Leo certainly is  

He's stated numerous times he doesn't like them at all.

@krazzer I find that they help to ground me.  If I'm feeling lazy or unmotivated, after I hop out of a cold shower I feel like superman.

That's the point of cold showers is that they suck, no one likes a cold shower!

Ah so that's why he didn't already make a video of it yet

I didn't like them before I started doing them.

Leo is an open-minded guy, he might change his mind.

 After 4 years of doing them, I actually prefer a cold shower over a hot shower. Cold shower make me feel energetic, hot showers make me feel weary afterwards.

I actually like them for the winter as your body goes into heat-mode
