Lately I’ve been going out on my porch or on my girlfriend’s balcony to do a dry “cold plunge”: stepping out into the winter air for a brief period of time until it gets to the point I can’t bear it. It isn’t long, but like people who do cold water plunges, I feel I get some of the same benefits. (If you make snow angels, I recommend dressing appropriately. :))

It’s a good remind to me that good things don’t have to last long to provide longer term benefits.  Sometimes 10 seconds is all you need, as I wrote about, here: My 10 seconds of happiness exercise | Smart People I Know
