WINTER IS COMING! If you’re freaking out about the pending cold the Army has some advice. It’s the same way they train themselves to get used to cold weather: DON’T GET WARM!

What? Yes! Don’t turn up the thermostat right away or wear a ton of clothes and climb under blanket mountain.  The faster you allow your body to adapt to cold weather the less it’ll haunt your nightmares.  Wear a light jacket and maybe even take a cooler shower. (Don’t do anything crazy or dangerous though- just cool-ER.) Your blood vessels won’t constrict as much which keeps you from shivering like crazy and the cold won’t bother you as much. You’ll adjust more quickly!

Good luck!
