This is the first story from yesterday.
So over the past week or two is the coldest week of the month and the coldest week of the
year.
I got very cold and I take cold showers every single day, even through the cold.
And I'm listening to my parents say that it's starting to get warmer.
It's going to get warmer soon.
They're telling me about the news, the weather.
And so I'm getting excited.
I'm thinking, oh, it's going to get warmer.
So now the cold showers are going to get easier because at this point, the cold shower was
45 degrees Fahrenheit, which is freezing as balls.
And so I'm sitting there in the morning, just finished my morning routine, and I'm about
to get into the shower.
And I'm thinking to myself, I'm remembering from the night before, my parents telling
me about how it's starting to get warmer.
And so I'm getting excited.
I'm thinking I'm about to turn the shower on and I'm thinking, oh, well, it can only
get easier from here.
And I turn the shower on, expecting it to be cold, but not nearly as cold as the day
before.
So I turn the shower on, just slightly turn the knob to the coldest setting, pull up the
shower, like the thing to turn on the shower because I have a bathtub and a shower hybrid.
And what happens?
It feels colder than yesterday.
I'm thinking to myself, oh man, I just have to endure through this.
It's even colder than the day before, but I just do it anyways.
I pushed through this shower and after I'm done, I'm just thinking, I got to suffer through
this whole winter and it's taken a very long time.
And it was like January 18th or January 19th.
I don't know what day.
It was a couple of days ago.
And I'm thinking like February, I'm asking my parents and they said February is the coldest
month.
So it's a long grind pushing through these cold winter months, especially if you're doing
cold exposure like I am.
But it's worth it because you get the most dividends during the winter months for your
discipline.
The winter time is for building discipline and the summer time is for using that discipline,
which I guess is also building the discipline.
But the winter month primary focus is to build discipline.
