Creative segways here. I liked your article. I got into cold showers because my skin got messed up (long story) more than three years ago. Hot water just made everything worse. I also spent months in rural India, where I took bucket showers and they were rarely even luke warm. Now I begin with warm water, and gradually make it colder. I end the last minute or so with it as cold as possible. I leave ready to face anything and feeling great.
