-- HOW TO BOOST YOUR MORNING IN 2 MINUTES --

Do you spend most of your precious morning time in zombie mode, being a grumpy, sleazy person? Do you often waste a lot of time wandering around and then end up having to hurry like crazy the last few minutes because, well... you don't really know why?
 
Sounds like a perfect description of how I used to be in the morning.
 
This has changed though, with a simple hack.
 
Let me explain…

The first thing I do when I wake up is take an icecold shower. By icecold I mean not-being-able-to-stand-still-or-breathe-cold.
 
After that shower I feel 100% energetic and my mind is as sharp as a knife.
 
It started as a 2-week challenge to test my character, but I continued doing it because it obviously benefits me.
 
It will be really hard to do this it for the first couple of weeks — but after a while; you'll actually keep struggling with it. Sorry for killing your enthusiasm.

I said this is a simple hack — not an easy one.
 
Seriously, though. It's a challenge every single morning.

But let me tell you, after you take that cold shower you'll feel like there's nothing for the rest of the day that can stop you. Beastmode activated!

There's a lot of truth in this. How many people do you think will do this for the sake of improving themselves?

It has gotten to a point where if I don't take a cold shower in the morning, I'll feel like a total loser for the rest of the day.

Maybe I'm exaggerating. Rereading what I just wrote, it does sound kind of goofy... Kind of.

But whatever.

There are also a lot of healthy benefits to this: it increases your metabolism, it's better for your hair, it strengthens your immune system...

Besides, your bank account will be grateful, too.
