Hey Tayla! Congrats on your 14th shower! The 1st is always the hardest so you're well on your way. I'm glad you found some value with the mental tips. I'd be curious to know if they helped! I think the shorter time is just to prevent me from procrastinating before getting in. Of course, you can always stay longer than 3-mins once you're in. I hope you make it to 5 years, too. The dopamine high is so strong that I've been taking two cold showers a day recently. Thanks for taking the time to write a comment. It's always great to hear about your experience and to know that my writing added value to your practice.
