Take a Shower: Episode 139

In some ways, the shower is a cultural symbol, representing a period of the day that we have to ourselves, with few other responsibilities.

Some people know the shower as the “argument simulator”. We get into the shower and start imagining all of those arguments we could have one, all those zingers we’d lay down against our colleagues or family members to leave them so speechless that they had to admit we were right.

Or we know it as the time for “shower thoughts”, the times when our minds are most creative, looking at the world from a different perspective.

It is also a time when we can simply enjoy the moment. A hot shower or even a cold shower is a chance to enjoy bodily awareness, feeling the sensations of various parts of our bodies which we don’t always use, allowing the blood to flow into them and come alive.

There we feel presence, feeling every drop on our bodies. One moment of presence in a day makes all the difference.
