After, though, very rewarding — the adrenaline helps wake me up and helps me transition fairly quickly into a state of focus. > If not, perhaps you could change something in or after the routine to create a positive feedback?

    > Wim Hof Came here to suggest him to you. First i read his book, and used the technique there. It’s described in a page or two; you don’t have to read the whole book unless you want to). Now I use his phone app. He also has YouTube videos but I haven’t watched them. Anyway, his breathing technique really helped me. I have not done cold baths yet, just showers, but it’s been 2 years and I can take a cold shower of any duration now. Started at 10 seconds! The breathing technique can take 20 minutes so if I’m in a hurry, I skip it and seem to do ok anyway. Not sure how or why, but maybe just by habit.
