This is the ongoing story of how I'm facing my biggest fears that have kept me frozen in place.
This is Thawing Out.
I sat staring at the shower head. Hand on the handle.
Waiting. Delaying. I know once I move the handle I’ll be a new man; and I don’t know if I’m ready for it.
Why am I so hesitant to do what I’ve been doing for almost 3 years now? Because this time, I’ve upped the stakes.
When I first started taking cold showers, it was ultimatum driven.
”Do this or else” “No more hot water until ___”
And while I’ve held up my end of the bargain… It’s time to respond to the ultimatum. It’s time to take control.
At 5:06 this morning, I started my day off with a ColdShower. And I’ll continue to do this at least through the month of January as I work through my 2025 goal of writing every day.
No more waiting. No more letting the time go by.
Just me showing up every day with discipline and commitment.
If it’s important do it daily. If it’s necessary, do it first.
