Cold showers part 2 via /r/gratitude

I've already said I was grateful for cold showers but is it ok for me to say it again because I've found a new thing I love about them? I do a lot of meditation practicing through movement. It gets me out of my head and into my body. I noticed during my cold shower yesterday that this practice gets me out of my body and into my head. I have to focus on resisting my body's instinctual reflex to panic as a reaction to the cold by digging my heels into my head and warm myself up through my thoughts. I'm grateful to my cold showers because I'm able to examine my mind and control my body with it. It's so cool how the human body behaves when you intentionally put it under stress if you're able to step aside and discover the nature of the mind. Hope that makes sense.
