Shower Meditation

Over here! I try not to take long showers but well that just can't happen XD. I usually do the same thing though if it's hot outside I can still take hot showers. There's only been one time I took a cold shower but that was because there was no hot water. But anyways I usually think of either all the things I should do today, or then I go into random thoughts such as how things work in the world. Or sometimes I'll just not think what so ever if I'm too stressed and with that hot water it feels amazing.

 

I love turning up the heat, sitting on the floor, and letting the hot water beat on me. Feels great and relaxing.

 

I love to do it, but I don't do it often. Living in student housing means it runs up the utility bills for my friends, which isn't fair to them.

If I'm at home, on vacation, or in residence and can spare the time - definitely.

 

Oh dear.

Long showers... By God I love them. I can't help it, I just love showering with hot water for like half an hour.

Dad, however, thinks it's a waste of water and money. I do remember I once showered for like 40 minutes, then in his rage he stormed into the bathroom and flushed the toilet to get me out.

Damn me that burnt.

Still, I got my revenge shortly afterwards

 

Im glad other people spend awhile in showers! It's the only place where I won't be interrupted and can unwind and reeeeelax. I spend time memorizing lyrics and just listening to music.

 

Yup I do the same thing most of the time even at other peoples homes. But you gotta point with the why it takes so much with toilets. Though there are times I usually just brush my teeth in the shower lol multitasking! Room mates see it to be a bit weird but I am so used to it that it doesn't bother me. I used to be a long bath person..but then I started thinking if I clean myself in a bath the dirt is just floating around...I found it to be pointless...and I didn't feel clean. I'm weird like that I suppose.

 

If there's one thing I love, then that's LONG showers! :icon_bigg
I won't go into detail about how good it feels since you all got it covered already. But it's so addicting and amazing, it's like I want to fall asleep in it... Well... I would drown, but you get the point. :dry:

I've always wondered about this too! My mom and sisters have 3-10 minute showers every morning. Seriously though, how the heck do they pull it off? :bang:

 

I try to do this.. I usually end up overthinking madeup scenarios in my head.. things like 'what if my dad died today' and my hyperactive brain carries it all through to the funeral, and I end up crying in the shower :lol: wuuuuuut.

I can't meditate in the shower. I can in a dark room though. Or a bath!

Sometimes I come up with really great song ideas though!

 

As an alpine skiier I have to disagree with you on this one.

Yes I love taking long showers. While I'm at my hometown living with my family all my showers are less than 5 minutes to save the warm water for the others. But at my appartment I can shower for 30 minutes without feeling guilty

 

I do that like all the time <3

 

I would love taking long hot showers, but whenever I do I always feel starving to the point of curling up in fetal position. So I try and restrict my showers to be 30 minutes at the longest.

I will say, the one thing I'm looking forward to about living on my own some day is being able to listen to music while showering. My bathroom door doesn't actually shut, and there's always someone home, so I can never blast music. Literally everything else about adulthood can suck it, but I'm really looking forward to this one thing.

 

love showers always have done I do like a mixture of temperatures.

 

Yes. Which is why my showers are usually upwards to 40 minutes long. Although recently, instead of being "shower meditation," it's more like "shower contemplation of everything wrong in your life so you start crying and then accidentally get shampoo in your eyes which makes you cry even more." :lol:

 

I LOVE long hot showers, it's one of the few moments where I can truly relax. Unlike most people, I don't start thinking but I just shut down my mind and feel nothing but the hot water running down my body. I stopped taking long showers though, I realized it's a waste of water and money so I try to limit my showers to 15 minutes max.
