It’s easier than you think.

You have heard the hype: cold showers in the morning are good for you. Allegedly, they will improve circulation, wake you the heck up, and tighten your skin.

Now, how to go about this?

Make sure there’s no one else in the house. If you can’t manage to be alone, then tell people to not call the police, no matter what they hear.

Grab a soft, fresh-smelling towel. You’ll need it.

Prepare your after-shower clothes.

Step into the bathroom.

Look at yourself in the mirror. Repeat out loud: “I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.”

Slowly remove your clothes. Savor the warm feeling they leave on your skin. You’ll miss it soon.

Open the shower curtain.

Stare at the shower floor. Try to imagine just how cold it is.

Step into the shower.

Realize the floor is way colder than you imagined.

Stare ahead. Breathe in and out several times. Try to delay the actual shower as long as possible.

Once you realized you look like an idiot standing there, turn the shower on.

As you feel the first cold drops land on your skin, take a step back.

Contemplate the flow of water in front of you. While you are at it, contemplate your life, all of the choices you have ever made. Think about the meaning of human existence.

Upon realizing you are wasting water, feel guilty, and use that guilt to motivate you.

Step into the cold water.

As the freezing water hits you, stop breathing for a moment.

Curse your mouth out. Here are some suggestions. If you are feeling kind of British, you can use these swear words instead (I bet now you understand step 1).

Shampoo your hair, lather your body…just do what you typically do. Something tells me this time you’ll do it way faster.

Rinse and turn the shower off.

Realize that your wet, naked body feels even colder now than when you were under the water. Feel free to curse some more.

Grab that soft, fresh-smelling towel and wrap yourself in it.

Pat yourself dry. As you do that, make sure to whisper “never again, never again.”

Put on your clothes.

Step out of the bathroom, feeling like a badass.

Repeat the next day?
