CHALLENGE: Take cold showers for a week (5 days.)

OUTCOME: I took 5 cold showers, starting at one minute and working my way up to five minutes. The first minute or so was pretty intense, but then my body got used to the cold, and the next two minutes weren’t so bad. But the last two were a real beast. By the end of the five minutes, my body had gone numb, and I was shivering uncontrollably. But I did it, and I felt like a badass.

TAKEAWAYS: Taking cold showers—or doing anything else that’s physically unpleasant—makes you more resilient and mentally tough. It also gives you a boost of adrenaline that makes you feel invulnerable. Good mood and positivity usually ensue. Basically, cold showers are great, though I found my sweet spot is between two and three minutes.

CONCLUSION: Cold showers are AWESOME!
