Cold Plunge Anyone?!

I noticed that there aren’t as many people doing cold plunges on social media. Is that because they don’t work or that they just aren’t trendy anymore? Ok I wondered, now that cold plunges are not trendy any more how many of you are still doing it? 

And I’m super curious, if you are still doing it, does it get any easier? For me, that’s a hearty, ‘Nope.’ And I wonder, if you aren’t doing cold plunges anymore, why did you give up? Because you already posted? Because you didn’t notice any benefits? Because it's a hard thing to do continually?

This is just me going through the phases of submerging into freezing temperature water in my own bathroom. Waaa. It’s so cold. Okay, here we go… Wof, how do I breathe? Ok, here we go. I think I’m going to have some coffee. Ohh yeah, that’s warm. I like that. 

The coffee is  almost enough to get my mind off the cold, but it doesn’t quite work. It almost works though, but not quite. Ok, whew, this is me, relaxing, relaxing into it. Yep, just relax into it. You know, comparing this and the Nile River which I was in just a few days ago. They are similar. 

I feel like this takes a little more breathing exercise compared to the Nile river. This is quite a bit colder. Oh, whew. It still feels like knives, knives on my back and knives on my belly and piercing my legs. Whew.

You know, those of you that enjoy this, I’d like to know how? How is that possible? What do you do to actually enjoy it? Or are you just lying about it being enjoyable? Hm. I’m gonna drink my warm coffee some more. 

I think warm coffee helps, whewph. But wait, to those experts out there, I’m I ruining the point? What am I doing here? Am I negating the benefits of the cold water by drinking a warm beverage? Those of you that are still doing this, why aren’t you posting videos about it anymore? 

This is really a lifestyle commitment you know? Getting the equipment. Choosing to take the time and opting to do something continually that is hard to do and not really that pleasant. And does it still work for those of you still doing it? 

Okay I’m going to put the coffee down. I’ll just allow the cold to be, whew, whooh. And then there comes that moment when you just accept it. The fate of dying, because in reality if I stay in this I would probably die. But since I’m not committed to dying….
