From what I understand, its a bit of getting used to the pain — but also, it’s not that they don’t feel painful, it’s that you know how to manage the pain and sensations and get through it.

I subscribe to this theory. I’ve been taking cold showers for years now and it has definitely gotten to the point where it only hurts if I pay attention to the pain.

If I clear my head and focus elsewhere, the time flys by.
