I believe in you. This one isn't hard if you make it a habit and I'll bet you'll want to continue.
@Tarl I'm healthy, no signs of physical illness. I'm not more prone to common colds than the average person. Maybe even a bit less, because of my cold shower habit. In this context by physically ill I mean that I am sick enough to need bed rest.
