Obviously times will be different for everyone. The important part is the hours between each other. The spacing. Ex. No caffeine until 4 1/2 hours of being awake

Why start your day with Cold exposure? - steady mood through out the day 😁 - finally feel awake 👀 - steady energy ⚡️ - Create mental fortitude for stressful situations that arise 💪🏼🧠 - TEACHES you how to PUSH THROUGH, when your mind says to stop 🛑

Weekly report: 4-11th of December Subject 1: physically getting in the water is slightly better, still a shock but better than the first day. I can also control my breathing quicker while I’m the water. I also wake up around 6:30 with no alarm but I keep it on just in case.

Water still supplies the shock but I have already grown to love it. My levels of energy are steady and long lasting. I have been eating and I’m actually hungry. ( I have struggled with eating my whole life). The cold exposure alone makes me hungry at 7am.

Mentally I do not feel stressed or anxious. When moments arise that I would normally feel anxious. I feel a sense of “above it” or “ I can’t spiral out of control with my thoughts”. My energy levels are better than ever. I can stay awake from sunrise to sundown.
