00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,700
This is the first story from yesterday.

2
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:33,300
So over the past week or two is the coldest week of the month and the coldest week of the

3
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:38,780
year.

4
00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:48,180
I got very cold and I take cold showers every single day, even through the cold.

5
00:00:48,180 --> 00:00:52,380
And I'm listening to my parents say that it's starting to get warmer.

6
00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:53,580
It's going to get warmer soon.

7
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:56,180
They're telling me about the news, the weather.

8
00:00:56,180 --> 00:00:57,180
And so I'm getting excited.

9
00:00:57,180 --> 00:00:59,540
I'm thinking, oh, it's going to get warmer.

10
00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:04,900
So now the cold showers are going to get easier because at this point, the cold shower was

11
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:11,540
45 degrees Fahrenheit, which is freezing as balls.

12
00:01:11,540 --> 00:01:16,740
And so I'm sitting there in the morning, just finished my morning routine, and I'm about

13
00:01:16,740 --> 00:01:20,660
to get into the shower.

14
00:01:20,660 --> 00:01:26,380
And I'm thinking to myself, I'm remembering from the night before, my parents telling

15
00:01:26,380 --> 00:01:29,860
me about how it's starting to get warmer.

16
00:01:29,860 --> 00:01:30,860
And so I'm getting excited.

17
00:01:30,860 --> 00:01:34,300
I'm thinking I'm about to turn the shower on and I'm thinking, oh, well, it can only

18
00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:36,780
get easier from here.

19
00:01:36,780 --> 00:01:41,060
And I turn the shower on, expecting it to be cold, but not nearly as cold as the day

20
00:01:41,060 --> 00:01:43,820
before.

21
00:01:43,820 --> 00:01:50,660
So I turn the shower on, just slightly turn the knob to the coldest setting, pull up the

22
00:01:50,660 --> 00:01:59,040
shower, like the thing to turn on the shower because I have a bathtub and a shower hybrid.

23
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,540
And what happens?

24
00:02:01,540 --> 00:02:04,380
It feels colder than yesterday.

25
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:08,820
I'm thinking to myself, oh man, I just have to endure through this.

26
00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:13,620
It's even colder than the day before, but I just do it anyways.

27
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:21,540
I pushed through this shower and after I'm done, I'm just thinking, I got to suffer through

28
00:02:21,540 --> 00:02:27,260
this whole winter and it's taken a very long time.

29
00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:31,980
And it was like January 18th or January 19th.

30
00:02:31,980 --> 00:02:32,980
I don't know what day.

31
00:02:32,980 --> 00:02:35,900
It was a couple of days ago.

32
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:44,900
And I'm thinking like February, I'm asking my parents and they said February is the coldest

33
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:48,780
month.

34
00:02:48,780 --> 00:02:55,860
So it's a long grind pushing through these cold winter months, especially if you're doing

35
00:02:55,860 --> 00:02:58,220
cold exposure like I am.

36
00:02:58,220 --> 00:03:05,140
But it's worth it because you get the most dividends during the winter months for your

37
00:03:05,140 --> 00:03:06,140
discipline.

38
00:03:06,140 --> 00:03:12,460
The winter time is for building discipline and the summer time is for using that discipline,

39
00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:15,100
which I guess is also building the discipline.

40
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:28,420
But the winter month primary focus is to build discipline.
