Even if you want to spend enough time bathing, you end up rushing all the time. You are late for work or other appointments. You bathe to clean yourself and not enjoy the process. These are some tips to help you avoid rushing while you take a bath.
Wake up early
If there are many people in your family and you keep fighting over the use of the bathroom, you might have to wake up earlier than everyone else. In doing so, you can spend more time without anyone getting angry at you. It also means that you have to go to bed earlier than everyone so you will still get enough hours of sleep.
Schedule your shower at night too
If you can’t change your morning schedule, you can have another shower session at night. Since you don’t have to rush anymore, you can spend as much time as you want. You can even do all your bathing rituals since you have more time to use the bathroom. It also helps to have a steam bath before going to bed to help you sleep faster.
Make your bathroom look more appealing
You have to find a way to improve the appearance of your bathroom. Sometimes, you rush when bathing not because you’re in a hurry, but because you have no reason to stay longer. Your bathroom looks ordinary. You take a shower and leave as soon as it’s over. It helps if you invest in bathroom accessories like shower pods or tubs. They will help elevate your bathing experience. You will feel excited each time you go home because you know that you can spend more time bathing. You can even think about your day while you rest in the bathroom and come out without any worries you had because of work.
You deserve time to rest
You face lots of challenges each day. You always rush because you need to attend to many things. You want to do well at work so you can provide for your family. You also bathe faster because you still have to attend to the needs of your kids. Your life is always about other people. There’s nothing wrong with being selfless. You chose to be a parent, so being busy all the time is a part of the package.
Despite that, you still have to find enough time for yourself. You deserve time to rest, and you can do it by staying longer in the bathroom. You can’t allow yourself to sweep your problems under the rug and move forward. You will end up with mental health issues. If bathing longer helps you relax and find comfort, you need to do it regularly.
There’s no need to have a session at the spa when you can already get the relaxation you deserve in your bathroom. For sure, everyone at home will understand if you ask for a few more minutes to be alone.
