Cold shower
medium micro quest 5 min +100 XP
Take cold shower for at least 2 minutes
Why this matters
Cold water is a short, honest conversation with yourself about how you react to something unpleasant.
What to do
Start with a normal warm shower, and at the end turn the tap to cold and leave it there. Breathe deep and steady: the panic passes in a few breaths and the body stops clenching. Hold two minutes, putting your arms, back and chest under it in turn. Do not force it if you feel dizzy or if you have heart or blood pressure problems — in that case just finish cool rather than ice cold. Step out and do not rub yourself dry immediately; let the body warm itself up.
Afterwards
How fast did the urge to stop pass — and what else in your life do you quit at exactly that second?
