 Did an at-home cold plunge in ice water today. 🧊

Nothing to see here. Just totally normal human behavior. 
 Going from hot to cold is so good for your pores 
 Did sauna and ice cold shower today. Grounded and reset 🫡 
 The importance of grounding is incredibly under appreciated. 
 My shower is retarded in that pressure and the temperature are the same dial. So in order to get the pressure up, I automatically have to bring the temperature up mid-way too. So I literally can’t do a cold shower. Ice bath instead. 
 hahahah  Pv=nRT 
 I know you'll get this 😁 
 💪 bath tub or got something specific for cold plunges? 
 Bath tub for now. 
 Go ocean dipping with ice floating around for next level 🥶 
 I have to follow it up with a sauna. The cold energy tends to stay with me all day and kind of makes me lethargic. Either way, it’s a great and healthy way to start the day. Good for you. 
 Mixing in some breathwork and horse stance afterwards fixes this for me, highly recommend. 
 I tried yesterday but summer heat wrecks the “cold” tap water temp 😂

It was a great visual reminder of how Q=mcΔT works. Apparently I needed ≈24.61 MJ or 6.84kWh of energy to bring the water temp down to 45°F 😵‍💫nostr:note1skzp6uxnd5uud3l8qk04jnvp6xv7key697fe4ay8s3sfwq7g0nvs8ggxeu 
 Lmao, Perplexity LLM estimates ≈141 lbs of ice would be needed 😂 
 I need *a lot* of ice to get it cold. Bags and bags of ice. 
 Please upload here next time!
