Shower time can be some of the most productive and creative moments of the day. When you allow yourself to relax and let go of your worries, showers provide a perfect opportunity to reflect and ponder some of life’s biggest questions.
On a personal level, a number of key ideas for the outline of my doctoral dissertation were conceived during shower time and others during my runs. It’s kinda weird but a quick search on the Internet shows that shower thoughts is actually a real phenomenon that happens to many people.
Creativity and shower seem to go hand in hand, as many of us come up with fresh ideas in the shower. This is because when we get lost in a relaxing and calming environment, such as a warm shower, our brains are allowed to wander and explore ideas without the constraints of everyday life.
It’s in this unique environment that our minds become uncluttered, and our thoughts can flow more freely. It’s no wonder why many artists, writers, entrepreneurs, and world-renowned geniuses have credited the shower for sparking some of their most profound ideas.
