Cold Showers

[For Prose]

I am curious if anyone here takes cold showers and if so, do you feel you experience a sense of "hyper-awareness" during and immediately after?

 

Many years ago I took cold showers religiously but for some reason or another stopped. I am now attempting to reinstate the daily habit and remembered what it feels like right after.

 

Not to be confused with Cold Showers

 

I found this link while searching http://www.thehackedmind.com/7-reasons-to-take-cold-showers-and-1-that-really-matters/.

 

Might be a load of bull but most of it seems believable...

That is what makes that sort of article so dangerous!

 

There appears to be no science behind what he claims. But if you enjoy it, do it. (I won't be joining you.)

Ten years ago, I had to take cold showers for 12 months after moving into a 'new' place that had no heating.

It was ghastly.

The most extreme feeling that it gave me was of how bad an experience it was but not hyper-aware;

and It certainly left me feeling very awake in the mornings by an otherwise above average & quite persistent amount

accompanied with a pleasant sense of relief that it was over.

Having a warm shower (only very occasionally when visiting relations) was an utterly serene experience.

I don't recommend it but I remember, years ago, hearing that it was popular in health spas.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
