How Sea Dips Have Helped My Mental Health

The journey of getting up at 5 AM, driving for 40 minutes, and dipping for 20 minutes has been transformative for my mental health.

The Journey Begins

It all started with a decision to change my routine. Rising before the sun and embracing the chilly embrace of the sea has been a pivotal part of my recovery from OCD and PTSD.

The Challenge and Reward

The cold water was a shock at first, but each dip brought a renewed sense of peace and clarity that lasted throughout the day.

Join me next time as I explore more ways the natural environment can aid in mental health recovery.

These are the kinds of moments Daydot was built for.

Why Daydot exists

Daydot was built around documenting life as it’s lived.
The calm after fear.
The stories that don’t need fixing.
The things you notice once you stop rushing past them.
