Reset Your Mood In 20 Minutes
July 26, 2024
Having a rough day, and want to reset your mood?
Take a shower!
No, we aren’t kidding.
Here’s why:
- Showering reduces stress + anxiety
- Warm water calms and soothes your nervous system by lowering cortisol, yet releasing endorphins to lift your mood
- Hot showers can reduce anxiety by releasing oxytocin (aka the happy hormone)
- Cold showers can shock your nervous system and force it to reset
- Energetically, washing your hair removes thoughts and questions that might not need to be answered
Go take a shower, and see if your mood improves.
