Unfiltered Discipline
Jan 05, 2026
731 days.
Two full years.
Not one missed morning.
That’s 49 hours and 43 minutes of unfiltered discipline
Every single morning for the last 731 days, I’ve stepped into cold water for five minutes. No negotiation. No excuses.
My brain fights me every time.
It tells me to skip it.
To do it later.
To do something easier.
And when I first get in, my body screams at me to get out.
But that’s the point.
It’s my way of reminding myself who’s in control.
That my mind doesn’t get to lead me into chaos, comfort, or avoidance.
I decide.
Every morning I step out of that cold, I feel ready. Clear. Grounded. Capable.
Even on days when the noise comes back later, I’ve already started from my strongest place.

Same weight.
Very different man.
The cold isn’t the only thing I’ve done to change my life but it’s the one thing I never negotiate with.
I start every day with discomfort so the rest of the day feels possible.
And I still do it because it works.
