Benefits of habit “Bathe or shower every day”
✓ Improves hygiene
✓ Removes unwanted odors
✓ Keeps hair neat
✓ May help reduce stress
First step:
Take 1 shower today
Progress:
✓ Keep it up until you take showers or baths every day of the week.
Helpful tips to make it a habit:
✓ Same time is key. Any habit develops faster when done at the same time. In this case, we recommend evenings before bed or mornings before leaving home.
✓ Trigger your mind. Have your shower gown or a towel somewhere visible so you wouldn’t miss it.
✓ Let the app help. Set up a reminder to ring your washing times.
✓ Reward yourself. Once you’ve gone two weeks of daily washing, reward yourself by buying new, better soaps, shampoos, scrubs and other bathroom necessities. Treat yourself well!
✓ Celebrate small victories. Every time you perform this habit, congratulate yourself! Say “I’m awesome” or “I’m so cool” out loud and with a smile on your face.
Tips for beginners:
✓ Do it properly. It’s not enough just to stand under the water stream or lay in said water. You will need to use the shampoo (twice!) and keep your hair in the conditioner. While it’s there, scrub your entire body. For ladies, use some intimate hygiene products as well. Once you wash it all off, when towel yourself off and use some creams for your face and body.
✓ Be efficient. Once this will become a constant habit, you will learn to be more efficient with your time in the shower. Learn the sequence of actions you will take while washing and try doing them faster to save some time and water.
