I only shower and brush my teeth for big events or social gatherings.

I often shower twice a day. If feels nice to go to bed fresh. But my evening shower I don’t use soap or moisturiser to give my body a break

I want to apologize my previous post. I don’t mean to underestimate how difficult it can be to do a simple thing like a shower.

I remember what it was like when I was heavily medicated on 20mg zyprexa. I probably went a couple of weeks in between showers back then.

But I hope you guys that haven’t showered for months challenge yourself. It’s not a difficult chore. It’s just difficult to get started. Like when you want to push yourself to go for a walk, half the job is to go out the door. And shower wise I guess it’s similar. Half the job is done when you have entered the shower.

You don’t want to do that. Something serious could happen.

I don’t usually have a regular schedule of showering, I get clammy when I don’t — I usually shower the night before I do anything besides work
But I always have clean clothes to wear and deodorant and cologne, I clean up nice :slightly_smiling_face:

I feel ya man, I’ve gone on long sprints of not showering before too. Just recently though I’ve gotten a lot better at it.

What helps me out is picking a designated shower day out of the week and sticking with it.

My therapist taught me that and it’s a very good technique to remind yourself with.

One thing for certain, I can’t seem to get in the habit of flossing to save my life — and the only time I brush is when I shower…

Meh. :sweat:

I understand. Sponge baths are very nice. Waterless soap and shampoo are amazing.

i used to shower once or twice a week but now shower daily, i get an urge to shower every night before falling asleep, the hot water feels so good lol the cleaning part takes effort but is only made up for by the relaxing maximum temp water meditation afterwards

Yeah for me, a hot shower is a calming, pleasant relaxing experience. Helps me get to sleep at night too. And also an ice cold shower helps wake me up and get ready for the day. It shocks my body into being ready for anything. Especially since its getting cold in Aus here now. So overwhelming to already be cold and jump into an ice cold shower. Its like having 5 coffees at once haha.
