I started taking cold showers about 3 months ago when my cofounder challenged my statement of: "Why don't more people eat healthy and exercise? It sucks at the beginning but it just keeps getting better." With the statement of "for the same reason you don't take cold showers." I'd never heard that cold showers were good for you and after validating his claims, I gave myself two weeks to get used to as-cold-as-possible showers. After about ten days it started being less painful, and now I can barely imagine going back. Yes the 3 degree Celsius showers still kinda suck; but they wake you up and they make the towel afterwards so warm and inviting. They make you hardened to the outdoor cold and they make you not need that first coffee in the morning.
If fixing diet and exercise are number 1 and number 2 to being a happier human. I'd put fixing the person you're dating at number 3, the people you're friends with at number 4, and the temperatures of the showers you take at number 5. A+ / 5 star - would have my cofounder challenge me again.
