I'm a tech exec who starts every day with a 3-minute cold plunge. My mind has never been sharper.

where I breathe in, hold my breath, breathe out, and hold my breath again — each for four seconds. This technique helps me maintain calm and consistent breathing and acts as a form of meditation.

When I get out, I have coffee, which I look forward to after being in the cold, but the cold plunge alone is enough to wake me up. I joke with myself that I must"earn" my cup of coffee each morning with a cold plunge beforehand — it makes that cup even more enjoyable. When I climb into the plunge, I'm still half asleep, and when I climb out, I'm amped to get the day started. Every now and again, if I have the time, I'll even jump in the cold plunge in the afternoon if I start having the feeling of midday grogginess.I find myself feeling less emotional during tough conversations after taking a cold plunge. When something frustrating happens, instead of going with my gut emotional reaction, I can instead pause and calmly respond to the situation.
