Facing your fears

Wow this was not easy 🥶😳

If you know me or have been following be for some time you will probably know I love a challenge.

However this is one challange I have tried and failed at more than 5 times 😭

I really do not like being cold and I mentally was unable to get past the pain every time I’ve tried this in the past.

I knew one thing would help me succeed at this task and that was doing it as part of a team.

There is simply no way I’m gunna let the team down 😊

So when @hollyxmaex asked be on behalf of @tfcsheffield to get a team together at my work @amritanutrition I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to enable me to get through this mental block.

There was simply no way I’m going to let the team down. Going through pain for someone else just seems so much worth while to me than doing it for myself 😂

Doing it for the greater good of the team is what I’m all about.

Progress was indeed made today,

I got in, everyone was watching, there was no way out 😂 (there was I could have literally just stepped out)

Anyway the submergence was horrendous, and this is the point I’ve failed at every time.

But I managed to get all the way in and then got past the first 20 minutes 😳

This required a lot of breathing and telling people to shut up but it started to actually get easier.

By 1 minute it wasn’t quite as painful and by 3 minutes I think I had cracked it.

Just as long as you don’t move under the water it really does get easier!

I over came, I tried something new, I got well out of my comfort zone and I feel bloody amazing for doing so.

Thank you @hollyxmaex @austin_bmc and @tfcsheffield for giving me the push I need.

And thank you amazing team for smashing it today and helping to raise money and awareness for @iapwa
