Wellness

yesterday i went to the sauna and cold bath for the first time in around a month, today i feel RADICALLY better than i did yesterday. i did 2 15 min sessions in the finnish dry sauna each followed by 3 min in the cold plunge 

after the second plunge i had an interesting experience, was just lying there soaking up the natural high when a ton of random childhood memories came flooding back. weird

anyway, stiffness is gone, i feel energetic, yesterday i kinda wanted to curl up and die or something and today i feel like living lmao, so that's cool, i'll try to go more often again

i find it really easy after the first minute or so, once the breathing is controlled it's ok

do you have someone outside of the bath who helps you or do you just have incredible willpower?

no i just repeat affirmations in my head like “i am strong i am powerful i can do anything i am safe i am loved i am resilient” etc lol
