Anyone who\u2019s concerned about personal hygine and lives in a temperate to tropical climate cannot go without showering daily. However, no matter how much they sweat, some people find it hard to stick to a habit of showering regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often, it comes down to the simple reason\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cNo ne complained that I smell bad. I can skip it today and shower tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you\u2019re keep on building a habit of daily showering but don\u2019t know how to, this post is just the right for you. It discusses some creative and surprisingly easy-to-adopt tips for you to build a daily showering habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Keep your bathroom clean<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When your bathroom is cluttered, you might not feel like entering it at all, other than to simply get inside and attend nature\u2019s call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you keep it sparkly clean and free from clutter, going inside and pampering yourself with the sweetest-smelling shower products will make you feel really good about yourself. You will enjoy the luxuriant feel on your skin and revel in the feeling of all your senses being pampered at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Visualize it as a happy experience<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Rather than thinking of your shower as a chore, think of it as a happy activity. Treat it like an act of self-care that you\u2019re indulging in not because you need to, but because you want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several scientists have documented the power of visualization. You can try this to bring a positive change in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Identify where the breakdown occurs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It you really <\/em>want to build a daily showering habit, but find it difficult to stick to it, try and reverse engineer it so you can understand why it feels so hard. Break down the showering ritual into its most basic steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe they include the following in a sequence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Make mind to shower.<\/li>
  2. Get inside the bathroom.<\/li>
  3. Get undressed.<\/li>
  4. Turn on the water.<\/li>
  5. Shower.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This seems pretty simple, doesn\u2019t it? Of course, your routine might have different steps. The sequence doesn\u2019t matter. What matters is which step in the sequence is causing you the most problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Maybe your bathroom is far away and you don\u2019t feel like walking so long? Maybe your hot water isn\u2019t working and it\u2019s very hard to find the right tempterature for the water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whatever the reason might be, identify it and try to get it fixed. Once that happens, you will find it so much easier to just step in, shower, and walk out feeling good about yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Set aside a fixed time of the day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    If you make your daily shower a part of your morning routine, you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s much easier to stick to it. Having a fixed time set aside for your shower will train your mind and body to expect the same treatment at that time every day, and you\u2019ll no longer find it hard to get inside the bathroom and start showering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, this step is easier said than done. Before it gets easy, things will be very hard. You\u2019ll have to really force yourself in the initial few days. Once you have built up some momentum, things will get easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Add experiences that you enjoy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    While many people claim they can think the hardest and come up with innovative ideas while showering, it might not be the same for you. Maybe you get bored in the shower or don\u2019t enjoy it enough for some reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To counter this, add another experience you enjoy. Maybe you can light a scented candle nearby and enjoy the luxuriant scent while you let the waves of water wash over your body? Or maybe you can put your speakers inside and play a song you can dance to while showering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    6. Maintain consistency<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When you\u2019re building any new habit, it\u2019s crucial to maintain consistency. You can do this by marking the days you managed to stick to your new habit of showering every day on the calendar. You can also download a habit tracker<\/a> that will make the process much simpler and easily accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can also hire an accountability coach<\/a> to make sure you don\u2019t fall off the wagon. They are trained professionals who will help you stick to your new habit and celebrate your small wins so you don\u2019t have to feel like you\u2019re alone in this journey of building a habit of showering every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
