Cold showers

What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?

…is the new daily habit that I have introduced and has improved the quality of my life.

With the aim to promote more energy into my body and clarity into my mind, for the past 2/3 months I end my shower on cold!

I enjoy feeling cleansed every day and then for around 30 seconds I switch the shower tap to cold, freezing cold! 🥶

My mind tries to tell me not to bother today and I have to shut it up by not listening, interrupting the negativity and just turn the dial and BREATH…

30 seconds of long, deep breaths Wim Hof style. This has been easier to practice than I expected and I’ve only not completed the chilly endurance act once since I started. I surprised myself at how much I missed the cleansing conclusion to my showers.

It’s been a gorgeous, hot summer in the UK so not sure how easy this will be in the depths of winter…we shall see 😅

A cold shower, even for 30 seconds, relaxes the nervous system and I genuinely feel that benefit…it also reminds me of when I was a little girl after a long day on a sandy beach and running under the cold rinse shower on the way back to the car, I didn’t care that it was cold, it was exhilarating and fun!

Tuning into fun, not fear 💝

Trevone Bay, Cornwall, my peace place
