Amy Poehler on Her January 1 Ritual: "It Gets My Head Straight for the Year Ahead"
Briefly

Amy Poehler shared on a podcast her tradition of participating in the New Year's Day Polar Plunge in Coney Island, describing it as a ritual that cleanses her of past year's negativity and helps set her intentions for the upcoming year.
"A holiday ritual that I've started as an adult - that I hope to continue - is the New Year's Day Polar Plunge. I do it because I feel like the cold waters cleanse me of my previous year's sins, and get my head straight for what's ahead," Poehler explained, emphasizing the psychological benefits of the plunge.
Poehler described the event as "not really a trip, I mean I guess it's a trip in it takes your mind to crazy places... kind of an existential trip," highlighting the surreal nature of the plunge despite its physicality.
She concluded with excitement about continuing the tradition into the future, telling Meyers, "I'm going to be doing that again this year, Jan. 1," making it clear that the Polar Plunge has become an essential part of her New Year's celebration.
