The first of the year.
Il first day of the new year, it is said to be the day that will decide whether or not the rest of the year will go positive.
After the 31st and its night of food, alcohol and dancing the best way to start is to purify yourself of everything!
A coney island there is an association called Polar Bear Club.
What they do is a madness that is repeated every Sunday of the year where everyone does plunges into the water whether it is completely partially or even with your hair, clothes or costume does not make a difference.
The water we are talking about is not thermal or heated in some way but that of the ocean. A water that pierces you by how cold it is, a water that takes your breath away.
Obviously it is not a bath that you can take while being in water for two hours otherwise, in addition to the breath, the heart also stops but it is a symbolic purifying, purifying and even firming dive! When you enter every thought everything comes out of your head, you can't even realize what is happening around you or outside it's just you, the cold and the peace of the ocean.
I went to coney island on the first of the year after not too many hours of sleep to see what they were doing, in reality I thought I would find three / 5 people coming and going from the water and instead hundreds of people aged 21 to 70 who entered as if nothing could stop them.
I entered the water and the sensation was extremely pleasant even if I only entered with my legs, let's say that the most complex part is getting out of the water when you feel like you no longer have your feet!
Once in your life this madness must be done go with a not heavy stomach and bring an extremely hot change, empty your head and just think about how beautiful the life you have with each of its adventures.
