Lately, I have been experimenting with the cold shower challenge.

It is a program to essentially get you to slowly learn how to take cold showers in order to control your breathing.

I am on week 2 of the 4 week challenge.

Each week adds :15 seconds to your previous week.

So I am now ending my regular morning shower with :30 seconds of the coldest water setting available.

I have been having my son use my phone as a timer, so I know when I am finished.

Well... yesterday he decided to pull a prank on me.

He paused the timer and didn't tell me.

As I waited for him to tell me that I was done, I had actually stayed under longer than I had ever done before.

It was a great reminder from my 7-year old son, that I was only limited by my own thoughts.

When I told myself I could only do 30 seconds, that's all my mind would allow me to do.
