Shower thoughts often give us new and creative ideas because in the shower we’re relaxed and that’s good daily self-care.
Sometimes that brings a smile and a laugh to our day.
Bring on the feel-good water sprinkle! 🚿
We can wash away our anxious thoughts temporarily.
And, you can get the dual benefit of self-care and shower thoughts from your shower experiences. This article is how to embrace and bring more shower thoughts alive!
A shower can be both a sauna and steamy therapeutic experience more powerful than taking a walk outside.
You can turn showers into a productive ritual in your mindfulness where you’re focused in the moment.
Mindfulness is full of physical and mental health benefits in the mind-body connection you may not have known about.
When you feel good, that shows up as good happy feelings, but also as healthy in and on your body. In other words, your skin radiates too when you’re feeling good.
Plus, when you get shower clean, you’re washing away bacteria on your skin accumulated from sweat and dirt and maybe why you got in the shower as a daily ritual in the first place.
Another benefit to a shower is you can check in with your internal body thermostat temperature.
If your body feels warm when it’s cold outside, that could indicate an irritated Pitta emotional state for your season (or until your situation changes).
If you’re cold when it’s warm outside, then you could be feeling worried or anxious in Vata or depressed or tired in Kapha, as examples.
Your body leaves clues and you want your shower temperature to be a reminder and one solution to what you’re positively feeling and hoping to achieve this season.
With the right water temperature hitting your skin, you feel good, so that relaxes you all-around to allow good thoughts and creative ideas to come into your mind more easily.
Your brain feels safe and free from defense fight-or-flight mode. So then you can safely let your guard down in room seclusion.
Your spirit alignment can also come alive as you get deeper into your heart’s desires. These ideas also help you manifest your want to a life of purpose.
When relaxed, here are 3 things you can do productively:
1.You can get your best ideas in the shower when you least expect them. You can come up with new ideas while performing self-care practices.
When allowing in shower thoughts, you can get creative and adventuresome ideas for your projects, next trip, food and daily plans, and even solutions to problems you haven’t solved.
A-ha solutions can appear when you’ve forgotten you had a dilemma but were reminded at the moment. With time and space, your brain is seeking a different angle, perception, or perspective that allows these memories to pop up.
2.You can reset your daily intentions in the shower. You can change you style approach in a situation using self-care and shower thoughts.
If you’re trying to stop knee-jerk reactions or blurting out often, you could exert self-control by thinking the word “jerk” is not what you want to be, and maybe that helps you change your patterns for the better.
Sometimes we lean into being hard on ourselves for our good, so we can get over the hump of missing the mark.
3.You can pray in the shower and get loving thoughts in return, similar to ideas but they can be more focused on growing yourself and handling relationships in your life.
You can get mental self-care and shower thoughts.
You can exchange critical-judgmental thoughts for open suggestions from your mind and what others have given. That’s a good way to cool off the Pitta mind.
