Christmas tradition.

Here are some photos of my favorite tradition with some of my best friends.
To most people, this looks like pure pain but I can tell you it’s one of the most enjoyable and memorable parts of my year.
I’m not too familiar with the science of cold water plunges but for me, it’s all about getting my body to do what my mind tells it to.

When Walter and I first started this tradition on Christmas 4 years ago it was a lot harder for me to get my body in the water.
Now 4 years later there isn’t much thought behind it.
We get to the dock strip down and jump in.

In the end, the goal for me is to carry this mindset into my everyday life.
To end procrastination and to gladly run headfirst at the things I don’t want to do but that need to be done.

True pain is the avoidance of doing what needs to be done.

To end this blog I want to share something I wrote in my journal years ago.
”Seek pleasure and you’ll find lasting pain, seek pain and you’ll find lasting pleasure.”
