Stop Douche Chaude
- J1 I impose a sauna session on myself after each sports session at the gym. And follow it up with a cold shower, really feels good.
However, I need to go to the next step, that is to say taking a cold shower for a long time, without prior physical or intense effort.
I hate showers that are too hot, except for the shampoo.
It will be almost 3 years since I showered almost exclusively with cold water. I would say 2 out of 3 showers are done with cold water and the rest with hot water when I shampoo or before sleeping.
Anyway. I'm taking up the challenge again and it will be one of my Lenten goals.Edited 3 months agoStarted on 15/02/2026 à 11h55New rank achieved: RecruitGoal set: 10 days - J31 This time I'm not giving up, I don't believe it;Started on 15/09/2025 à 19h23New rank achieved: - ApôtreGoal set: 50 days

- J21 It's really cool to have tamed cold showers!!
When going to the beach, no one was going to swim, my friend and I went there, she really had trouble getting into the water, but I went there normally.
Accustomed to freshness, the body gets used to it, and I even like it!
It’s my morning coffee and willpower enhancer!!
It's part of the ritual!New rank achieved: Sergeant - J1 OK, let's go again, it's not going to be easy...

- J55 Taking cold showers has become my daily life, it was disconcertingly easy a few days ago but these last 2 days strangely it has been more complicated usually.
I can't explain it.
But ultimately it's always the same pleasure, the same feeling, the same benefit.
I hope I can continue as long as possible. The benefits of this practice are real at the level of feelings, I don't know if it is true at the biological level. But in terms of pleasure felt, it is very tangible and concrete.
Tomorrow I begin my entry into L3 of Law following a reorientation out of spite. I hope that this will be the start of big things and that cold showers will accompany me on this epic journey.New rank achieved: Chief Warrant Officer
