My attitude to cold is as follows: coldness is supposed to cool me down.
The thought for today is that cold is supposed to cool me down. It is my attitude to cold. In this post, I will explain to you, my Dear Friend, what it exactly means. It means that when I take a cold shower when freezing water is pouring through my head, hair and is chilling my whole body, I just must feel cold. This water must cool me down. When most people sense cold water, they immediately escape from it. They want to avoid it as soon as possible because cold water hurts them. It brings them pain. I was not an exception during most of my life in this case. I also always tried to avoid getting touched with freezing water.
Since April 2021 (since I started to take colder and colder showers), my attitude to cold has changed dramatically.
I do not want to avoid cold. I treat coldness with respect but not as something I must omit. While taking a freezing shower, I often try to imagine that the temperature of my body is so high that this freezing water is cooling me down. At the same time, I breathe much slower than usual. It is a moment when I somehow (I do not know how it is happening!) feel alive. Undoubtedly, cold showers make me feel stronger, powerful, and confident. Thanks to this activity, I know, and I feel, that I have power and control over my body and soul and my life. My attitude to cold is that it can help develop in many positive directions possible.
Coldness is my friend, not my enemy.
Still, I have no doubt that I must respect it. How? By remembering that I cannot overact with it. I know that my journey with cold must be made step by step, slowly, without hurry. Still, I have no doubts that my romance with coldness will last until the end of my life.
