Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

DEVELOPMENT:

1. Let's get back on the daily COLD SHOWER train. This requires mental fortitude and will build your discipline just as much as training will.

The rules:

1) First thing upon waking

2) Make the shower as cold as it gets

3) Get in with NO hesitation (no "easting" you way in)

4) Stay in for at least 10 seconds

Are you up to the challenge?
