A morning shower helps get the mind and body going for the day. Washes off the night funk. Night shower if you get extra funky during the day or to get extra relaxed for bed. Midday shower if your mood is low or it's just nice and sunny.
I’ll never fully give up morning showers but physically, mentally, and emotionally a shower before bedtime is incredible. After a rough day, after a great movie, after a full day of walking around, after the bar, after yoga, after smoking a joint, after dancing all night, after a long drive. I am taking a shower to process it and get ready for a big sleep. The pillow case just feels different.
one in the morning to wake you up, one at night to get clean before drifting off to sleepytown. i've actually started to look forward to doing my skincare twice a day because i know it means the start of a new exciting day or the end of one :))
showering, half-drying my hair, then sleeping makes my hair look good in the morning idrk how, but that's a main reason i do night showers. if i shower during the day, i like to (but don't always) do a polar plunge before a shower and the salt has the same effect. a good bath with some nice music, maybe some incense? always good to do every once in a while
When I stopped thinking about "fixing my life" and "getting disciplined" and started focusing on how nice I would feel in my clean room, how calm I would feel if I maintained my calendar, and how good I would feel eating 3 healthy meals, it became much easier. It feels like you are indulging in the good stuff rather than punishing yourself with it.
For the past few weeks... months? I've been having Two fried eggs in corn tortillas with chipotle hot sauce
Korean bbq style pork and rice
A spinach and fruit smoothie with protein powder and collagen
Rice Krispie treats or a handle full of chocolate chips. I'll double up, I'll mix the order around, and I'll have chocolate chips for breakfast. But it's mostly these same foods over and over. I always found repetitive eating a little weird but here I am. One part of me knows I am a little depressed, but the other part loves to have at least one familiar and totally brain-free part of my life.
