To welcome the year, we decided we would dip into the sea, a renewal, a baptism, a fresh start...
Or, as my mother said, "Don't call me if you are sick tomorrow; you are crazy!
You are just starting to feel better, and then you do something like this!"
If the water had felt like ice, I would not have dared,
but it felt divine, and something in me knew it would revive me.
I don't know why but I felt I had to dip in. We stayed in the sea for a few minutes at most.
Refreshed, Reset, Ready.
and resting in between.

praying you stay well and healthy all through this New Year
God bless you all

I've found that walking on wet sand is like getting one's feet defoliated at a pedicure!
Of course, I wouldn't go farther in the water if it was too cold...

Its a trendy wellness thing mow.
“ Cold exposure leads to a range of health benefits for the body’s immune, digestive, and circulatory systems. It taps into the body’s natural healing powers, activating the nervous system and hormones which can significantly change our physiology.”
You are brave!

Good for you...what an invigorating little new year blessing....they do say that cold water bathing is exceptionally good for your heart, lungs and all the other bits and bobs...gives the body a little shock which makes everything come alive and feel revived, just as you said...very well done...Happy New Year to you and Yann.....rock on 2023! - Jennie, NZ

Brave you. Thinking positively is undoubtedly part of the process, not only for winter dipping, but healing.
