Fresh feeling


How many times a day

Or is it a week

do you shower?

Or maybe you only take baths

Someone said why would you want to sit in a bath amongst all the dirt you have washed off?

Good question to which the answer apparently is relaxation

For the rest who shower

Some twice or more a day depending on where they live

On the culture perhaps of the culture they grew up with

Often not thinking about how showers can change our experience of life

Not to mention getting rid of unwanted energy from others

Some of our habits are indeed funny to others

Take England with it's separate hot and cold water taps

By just running the water you can scold yourself or freeze, unless you take the time to fill the basin with water, which most do not want to do

Wanting only to wash their hands

However if they do fill the basin with water then of course it gets very dirty with the washing of hands

How to rinse our hands then ?

Why empty the basin and then fill it again
.
Or rinse under the cold water tap
.
Funny people the English
.
So how much does freshness feature in your life?
.
Or do you shower in a hurry without even noticing or experiencing the pleasure of the water over your body?
.
Your thoughts firmly on other things
.
Do you linger and appreciate the smell of the soap or shower gel
.
Do you enjoy
.
Like so many other habits washing is both physical and psychological

Physically it can make us feel good,, fresher in fact

Psychologically it can wash away the stress of the day

Help us to change gears into a different mode of being

Freshness is so many things

Use freshening up as a way to help improve your day

Feeling fresh is nicer than feeling yukky.
