Does anyone else take cool showers during the summer anyway? Not ice-cold, but cool. I've always thought it was odd that people would take hot showers when it's hot already.
I understand the psychological benefits of doing something difficult that you don't need to do. I do it often with physical activity. But denying yourself hot water does not deal a blow to the status-quo. I think the benefits of doing something hard are negated if you shower yourself with congratulations over it. (Note: this is not the same as being satisfied that you did it.)

I do. I find even the ambient temperature itself during summers unbearable.
