There easily is something valid behind the idea of desensitization. I suppose about this often as cold air starts whipping through our part following months of blistering heat and sunshine. The transition is drastically rapid, and it never seems like there’s enough time for my body to get accustomed to the rapid air temperature change; During this time, I often try to force my system to adapt to this new weather conditions. I will seek out cold rapidly changing temperatures and expose myself to the unpleasant air conditions, in order to build up some stamina and tolerance for the looming cold air. It’s drastically uncomfortable, and I don’t care about this practice of purposely cold myself at all. However, I know that I need to get through it or else the winter is going to feel unbearably cold and depressing. It’s not difficult for me to become linked at the hip to my central heating system if I cannot tolerate to the low outdoor air rapidly changing temperatures. Often times, for mental stamina, I suppose back to my youthful afternoons working at horse barns. Back in the morning, I was more than ecstatic to run around outside in the dead of winter. I would be bundled up in several layers, although I was still cold cold to the point that I couldn’t feel my fingers or toes. The horse barns were completely unheated, and there was no source of warm relief. At that time, I knew that it was best to just jump out of the automobile and plummet into extreme cold air. After a few minutes of shivering and painful muscle tensing, my body would become accustomed to the intensively frigid air. As a sensitive adult, I always tried to channel these cold-weather experiences. Even without any source of current heating, I always had a fantastic morning working on the farm.
