LatestLife lessons from a polar plunge
by Chris Tubbs | Feb 23, 2025
During a holiday in Dublin, I participated in the New Year's Day polar plunge, diving into the chilly North Atlantic. Despite initial panic from the cold, I learned to control my breathing and reactions. This experience taught me the importance of assessing perceived dangers in life and responding thoughtfully rather than instinctively.
