April, the Month of the Cold Shower: Day 17 (First Battle of the Day)

April 17, 2013

Reading about cold showers, I've found that a few different world religions practice cold showering as a part of a daily ritual.  The Sikhs call it ishnaan and they consider it to be the first battle of the day.

This notion struck a chord with me, this idea of winning the first battle of the day.  When you truly think about all of the challenges that we face throughout the day, a cold shower is a small victory, but if you begin your day by winning your first challenge, the rest of the day is going to be set up for success.  That will make closing that big deal, nailing that interview, having that difficult conversation, etc. much easier.
