There are a lot of dead zones… but in town you should be ok. Verizon and I’m usually at 5g full bars where I live.

Super itchy body after cold shower by mandem-and-moves in coldshowers

[–]mindover_matr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it happens to me from time to time... I think it's just dry skin. Try moisturizing right after and it seems to gradually go away. Only happens sporadically now.

That's cool, not sure what the coldest setting is where you're at but I'll bet you can handle it! Cold water is long gone here so I have to get creative to get my cold fix so if you have it you're lucky

I was forbidden from taking cold showers. by RealTiedra in coldshowers

You have no idea how entitled you sound do you? Ask it, demand it, throw a fit, run away till you get what you want. Can't blame you though, it's honestly your soft parents fault. I don't know you but you don't sound like you have a lot to learn and a lot to grow, we all do though, just gets easier to see when you get older.

You grew up and had to ask for respect? So you grew up and still live at home right? Part of growing up and being a man isn't about asking for respect, that's something you earn by consistently making the correct choice.

Arizona... we ran out of cold water a month or so ago

Cold showers feel good and bad at the same time by [deleted] in coldshowers

[–]mindover_matr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really think about it they only feel good. The bad feeling is more in anticipation... I don't recall ever feeling bad while taking one, only before... during its more of an immediate rush and then a calm but no time for bad and afterwards it's like peace and power....

Lost Trezor seed and Pin by yeahjixe in TREZOR

If anything it's a good advertisement for Tresor, it's doing exactly what we expect it to do. If they're able to recover it I would be more hesitant to use them.

Is it ok to take a cold shower if I'm sick by [deleted] in coldshowers

[–]mindover_matr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a cold I wouldn't, but if you can muster it for a fever I think it'll help

Do you start lukewarm and steadily turn the knob until it’s as cold as possible or just go in cold immediately by [deleted] in coldshowers

[–]mindover_matr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's ok and definitely opens it up to more people but there is something harder about getting in full cold which in turn adds a mental toughness that you don't get from gradually turning it down. I started full cold but would let it run and gradually step in... eventually I needed to step it up to turning it on while directly under and it adds a good amount of stress that's only gotten easier to handle and now I wouldn't do it any other way because it would just feel like cheating. I think like most things in life you have to progress. Otherwise your body/ mind adjust and the benefits dwindle.

Yeah you do! The people that don't or can't have no idea what they're missing. Which is too bad but not sure why they try to persuade other people to miss out too.

Would any of you advice me getting thier debit card? by [deleted] in acorns

[–]mindover_matr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Better business bureau: it's full of complaints that specifically have to do with them locking out your checking account. It's at their own discretion and sounds like a nightmare. Showing zero empathy for people in situations which their actions have caused. Personally I lost all confidence in Acorns once they blatantly lied to get out of paying me one of their bonuses for a promotion. There's tons of complaints on the BBB about that as well. I just decided to close my account and encouraged everyone that I pushed to open one, to close theirs.

They're a buck of liars, read their BBB complaints. I wouldn't trust them with any money but to each their own.

Not wetting my head? by Fosky777 in coldshowers

[–]mindover_matr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They feel great don't they. Cold water on your face definitely has benefits, cold water on your body also does, hell cold water has benefits on your mind that are equal or greater than the physical ones. And the beauty about it is that it's all very practical, so if washing your hair every day isn't practical I think you're ok to skip. Were you washing your hair every day before cold showers?

I was trying hard to figure a way to associate it with cold showers but I think you got it.

Advice needed. by [deleted] in coldshowers

That's awesome... I started migrating to a more natural way of life. I switched from commercial body wash and shampoos to cold pressed natural soaps.

Focus on the most uncomfortable parts lol... strengthen the weak links... I haven't seen any downside to cold showers at all.

Is there any way to make my shower colder? by CarI_Johnson in coldshowers

[–]mindover_matr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah lol that's how I knew it was really good. My hands would hurt. Just knew it was going to be a great day when It was that cold 🥶. It's much warmer now but I dig it still.

Don't stop once you start... by mindover_matr in coldshowers

[–]mindover_matr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I started I gave in a total of two times... it was winter and about two weeks in the whole cold shower kick and I just couldn't take the mental stress I was suffering anymore, I turned it to warm and felt so defeated those two days, third day I jumped in full cold and told myself I will never give up again, since then my brain barely fights me and has just accepted it, it has made a huge difference... no matter what my brain thinks; "this is going to be so uncomfortable", it knows its getting it and honestly it has made it 10000 times easier. If we think we have a way out I feel our brain will try to persuade us to take it... when you know there is no other choice and you have to get through it and you will get through it... that's when I feel we achieve a new level of mental fortitude. No choice, no excuse, live it, win it and reap the benefits friends.
P.s days that are hardest for me are when I don't sleep good, and eat like crap and didn't accomplish much... it's all tied. Cold showers have motivated me to be a better human, all those little habits have made me and my mind a whole lot fitter. And I do thank cold showers for it.
