Why we should take Cold Showers in Winters
Winter: The season of extreme chill, so much chill that can make you sick. I live in Delhi, by the way, and here, every weather is intense. Heat in the summers here is so much extreme that your ass can really get some burn marks while you sit on your two-wheeler, your car becomes a solar cooker, trapping all of the heat energy from direct sunlight. So, if you live somewhere in the south, you are not only south Indian, you are actually lucky, except the rains which can literally flood the whole city.
Since our childhood, our parents have taught us to bath in a 1:1 ratio of hot and cold water, respectively. And it feels pleasant, comfortable, and safe. You get out of the shower/bathroom, put your favorite clothes on, but there is one problem: You stay in your comfort zone. Every day you do it, and you don’t get out of it, and believe me, it doesn’t make you any sick; it is just your subconscious belief that makes you think that you will be sick. Your friends and family discussing freezing winters make you even more immune to the thought of even touching the cold.
You will have thoughts, like why Himal is trying to convince us regarding our bathing style, at the end of the day, it is just bathing.
Well, it is not just bathing, it is also the first task of the day, or second, if you work out in the first place. So, I will highly recommend you guys to elevate your morning by doing the primary task of the day with honor, greatness, and a win.
Or we can all make jokes about it.
Bro, we wake up 9, that’s a win.
or
Himal, I shampoo and put my towel for drying, that’s enough greatness in me, what else do you want?
or
Bro, you are talking about honour? I pray God every day, so technically, I am not filled with honor, honor is filled with me.
Well, we can all flush it with a joke, or we can live the way up to our potential.

Cold showers are the thing that otherwise called cold treatment, a.k.a cryotherapy. The freeze becomes your warm companion.
