I work in person in a very socially demanding job & commute by walking so I’m always wiped when I get home and just want to lie on my bed but I’ve found if I take a little edible and hop in the shower with a candle and my evening shower playlist within 30 minutes of getting home it transitions my brain into home mode and then I try and do some cleaning or journaling or I’ll cook up a good dinner. i have tried a lot of things but the process of a shower is the most useful of a mental and physical prompt to my brain that it is Relaxation Time and listening to music usually gets me in the mood to be creative or to do some tidying

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

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.

i usually don’t take my showers at night, but i had a weird day today and i didn’t really leave my room much… i just got out of the shower and i feel so good n new again! reminds me that you can hit reset on your day at anytime :) also i usually play music in the shower, but my housemates are asleep rn and honestly it was a good change of pace to have a shower with no music

poster board + magazines (I got a bunch from my neighborhood’s buy nothing Facebook group) & some creativity :) my friends and I make new ones every four months or so & they are so fun to get together and create and then you get to hang it up and remind yourself of your goals big and small serious and silly !

3. Pride (sometimes I do know better than other people tho)
4. Lust (well, yes)
