It really is a battle of the mind. I believe the hardest part for me is just before I get in. Something I like to say is “It’s time to go to war” with the mind that is.

At the moment, I don't have access to a clean river or anything to make cold baths. I used to use a horizontal freezer in France and it worked great. So I take cold showers every morning. It's very nice but for some reason, it feels colder and harder to step in than a much colder bath.
