On most days I have one shower in the morning & one before bed. I normally like my shower at the hottest temperature it will go, but thinking about it more, what do we want showers to do to us anyway? Obviously make us clean, but for the morning ones to wake us up.
This morning I put my shower on the lowest it would go & wow did it wake me up! Certainly a shock to the system.
It kind of blends the physical & mental parts of your brain. Physically the cold shower made me feel a shock to my system, very uncomfortable. Mentally my brain is trying to stop my body being cold.
I guess it’s a good fight or flight response.
Since my cold morning shower, it made me much more aware of my goings on. Mentally more sensitive & more perceptive & it really made me more focussed.
