I clearly get 5 benefits from it (mostly mental): 1. Feeling not sleepy in the morning, and a bit more energized (without coffee) 2. Focus on the present, less daydreaming. (I have a bad habit of thinking A LOT all the time, everywhere, even in bed.) 3. Learn how to stay calm and adjust my breathing in uncomfortable situation. 4. I feel less hesitant to decide something. (Again, the overthinking me) 5. Somehow many problems I encounter during a day are less ... fearsome to me. I don't feel afraid or feel like quitting them as I used to.

This also gives you the same boost as doing laundry or making your bed as it’s a small accomplish for many people. Overall I would definitely recommend that people give this a shot for a few weeks and see how they feel.

I’ve been doing cold showers for 8 days straight now and this is the process I use. I start with 1 song. Most songs are 3-5 minutes. This first song is not freezing cold but it’s still cold. The next song that plays is freezing cold. Again 3-5 minutes. It’s brutal but after about the 2 minute mark it stops feeling so cold and you adjust. These are the affirmations I use: “Everything worth having in life comes after following difficult times” so to get through the cold shower I reap the benefits. You do feel amazing afterwards. Also, i just keep telling myself this is who I am now. And I make it through and I feel awake, energized, and better off afterwards.

@besjanastase4118

Same 😊

I took my first cold shower today. I had a job on board training later. So to help wake me up even more I stopped at the gas station to grab a energy drink. While I was standing in line I noticed a feeling of mental clarity that I rarely ever have. Just wanted to share this for anyone that's on the fence, it makes a big difference even on the first day. I'll go again tomorrow. 🙂

Just an anecdote, but it works for me. I've got dysthymia, and have for most of my life. On top of the mood and emotion issues and lack of affect, my senses are dulled. I see things, and could tell you if say, a wall had a texture or pattern to it if you asked me afterwards, but it's almost like I'm not paying attention to it and my brain fuzzes it out. Similarly I don't really ever smell anything unless it's a very strong smell close by. After taking a shower I'll switch the water to cold and stand in it, usually letting it run down my back and shoulders, for about five minutes. Doing so brings my sense of smell back entirely (or as entirely as I remember ever having), and sharpens my vision so I'm more immediately aware of details. It also makes me feel more alert and focused and increases my affect. I can't say it does anything for my ability to actually feel emotions internally though, nor does it boost my motivation. It usually lasts for four or five hours, I'd say. I doubt it would be a treatment for depression on its own, but it's a really cheap way to buy yourself a few hours free of most of the symptoms.

I've been trying to get a full cold shower in the morning, every day for the past month, and let me tell you, when you wake up at 7, feeling like a zombie and wishing to die, it actually helps to boost your energy (for 2 hours tops). The bad side is that, here in France, it's pretty damn cold at that hour, so going outside afterwards just adds insult to injury. Still love warm water tho.

I appreciate the rundown on the “science-so-far” on cold showers. I’m taking a 5-minutes cold shower first thing in the morning attempting to lower my overall inflammation markers. Unfortunately I don’t have access to the tests that would confirm that was happening. I’ll just have to monitor my inflammation symptoms and see what happens.

The sick days thing might partially be due to people temporarily feeling more alert in the morning, as a result of having a cold shower as opposed to more relaxing warm one. I can’t speak for other people, but when I’m feeling unwell also being groggy from just waking up makes me feel even less like I might be a productive person that day.

I found it extremely beneficial. My moods were better, my body felt more refreshed, and my skin was noticeably better. I started off with 30 seconds of cold water at the end of my shower and gradually increased over time. Now , I just jump in without hesitation.

I recently started taking Frigid cold showers for 5 minutes 2-3 times a week, about a month ago. I feel more alert, aware, increased energy, and most importantly the things I’m stressing about for the day seem to fade away and it’s just myself focusing on my breathing. get through those 5 minutes if not do 3 minutes, after a few times the discomfort goes away and it feels therapeutic

Just so you know cold showers are _not_ a replacement for medication.

I’m also part of the new group trying the cold thing… except I find a cold bath in the a.m is better than a shower for me. It helps me focus, wakes me up (more than just being “awake”) and I feel like my day starts better. Plus probably the main one… I FEEL better mentally. Is it good for my health? Not sure, but I see zero downsides.

I've been taking cold showers for a month and I can swear it has helped me

The fact that a person has the discipline/drive to take a ice cold shower is beneficial enough. To do something like that frequently and to get use to it takes a good amount of will power.

After taking cold showers for about 4 years, I can only recommend it, although it was pretty brutal at the beginning (I've started at january) It has shifted from jumping, heavy breathing and lauging finished with somehow superman-like glassy skin feeling to routine in less than 3 months, so I think it's not that bad, when you realize, that all those feelings would eventually pass away, and you will even miss them in the future. And benefits? I was ill abou 4-6 times per year and it has changed pretty rapidly (First time I've got ill was about month after taking the showers, but it was mine mistake to go out with wet hair in february...) but after that initial illness, it has shifted to stable one illness per year, what I think is incredible, and what's more I can go for a walk in a t-shirt when it's 15°C or jump into cold water of spa pools, that everyone else is afraid of, and it feels like having a personal pool... Quite a difference, when I compare it to myself 5 years ago, when I was trembling at swimming pools, when it was 30 degrees Celsius outside...

Thanks for mentioning how cold water is vastly different depending on your location. My cold tap water currently reaches below 40. When I visited or lived in Florida or the Mediterranean, tap water was close to 70 at times. I used to take cold showers when I lived in Florida and Pennsylvania, but not now. It hurts to even quickly douse your hand under the cold tap in winter, I'd probably go into shock if I took a shower in it 😂

Me in the comments debating if to get a cold shower on not : 👁👄👁

Come to think of it, we got a small hot tub in January. My husband and I would go sip some coffee in the hot tub for a few minutes before getting ready for work. It was freezing cold and getting into the hot tub really woke me up. The water felt amazing and what I noticed was getting out of the hot tub into the cold just to grab my towel and go back inside, something about it changed how I felt each day. I was going through a hard time and looking back, I felt better.

my best hypothesis is that “cold” temperatures makes it easy for energy to flow based on superconductivity, but the human body associates cold with death and thus reacts negatively to it. i think the reason we have monks in the mountain is breaking that fear of cold does open the body to a relative level of comfort in a discomforting way, so instead of tensing up in temperature shifts(knowingly or unknowingly) we get pre acclimated and act more efficiently, saving energy and feeling as if we altered something, when its more akin to lessening some background app or something maybe lol

I keep an open mind on the science of whether there are any health benefits. What I do know is that it works for me very well. Firstly, it is a good discipline which reminds me not to be frightened of unpleasant tasks: once begun they are easier than they seem. Secondly, they are incredibly refreshing and invigorating; I leave in a good mood and more prepared to face the day. Thirdly, I swear that my skin feels vastly better.

Mans got a fresh cut at the end 😂 Best break in continuity

I took cold showers for a year , and it has drastically improved my immune system. Before taking cold showers I was getting a fever Avery 2 to 3 weeks, and reason that the people who take warm showers have a better immune system is because hot temperatures do increase the straight of the immune but only temperary . When exposing yourself to cold makes your body think that you may catch a pathogen. And it’s normal to have a cold at the end of it sometimes and it actually makes your immune system stronger . It maybe hard for the first days or weeks to have a cold shower , but as you get use to them you get an extra boost of testosterone that lowers the concentration of the stress hormone cortisol which lowers your immune system
