How Cold Showers Affect the Mind

  • Of there are numerous physical/health benefits associated with cold showers, and I addressed them in my first video on this subject. But the reason that I really love cold showers is because of the way they affect my mindset for that day. And even the stoics such as Epictetus advocated taking on this disciplines of voluntary discomfort, to live a better life.
    With love and respect,

    NoFap teaches you delayed gratification or patience.
    Cold shower teachers you to stay in the journey, to face the fear head on.
    The fear before a cold shower and the feeling after the shower are very different.

    I take cold showers twice a day for over 2 years, morning and night time. Now its like a habit, dont think much about it, but feel weird if i dont take it. I still get a mild endorphin or dopamine rush, while im there, but once i leave its as if i never went in. Id make my shower colder if i could, but its always on max cold, and no im not bragging. After shower, should probably start taking ice baths just for the hell of it. Im not any crazy masochist, i always do it for bettering myself, and i think i just need to level up with something else. Anyways its just one small habit im grateful to have gone past as an officially daily thing like stepping on the floor when waking up. Hardest thing so far is doing no fap past 30 days, been trying for 3+ years now. Happy af that it works for you. Now i need to workout more, eat healthier, meditate more, more more more. But at the end one thing is important, “i am enough”. Try saying this for 30 days twice a day, crazy what your personality turns into

    I’ve been working towards becoming my best version and I’ve been utilizing semen retention as well as cold showers. Starting this month I will take it more seriously and commit myself to the lifestyle. Honestly I haven’t noticed any of the benefits from semen retention but I also wasn’t consciously practicing nofap , I just wasn’t pulling on myself and I really didn’t know why I stopped pulling on myself unconsciously but I am pretty sure it’s due to the fact my DNA has been activated and my soul has awakened. I am grateful for the service that you provide this magical universe. Keep up the great content Nik. Love and light to everyone.🙏🏻💚💫🌎☝🏼

    I've been taking cold showers every day for the past 2 months! but I haven't noticed much of a difference really. I'm doing it for my skin haha

      but actually I always start out lukewarm and slowly transition into frigid.. maybe I'm being too easy on myself!!
