Day 13: Meditate in the Shower

[Greeting]

As we ease our way into the end of week 2 for the Meditation and Mindfulness 
Challenge, we are ready to meditate during another regular daily activity: the shower! 

The shower is actually the perfect place to meditate, and you have probably noticed that 
your mindset is much different when you are in the shower. You likely come up with 
random good ideas or have light bulb moments about your mindset.


How to Do a Shower Meditation

Did you know that you can turn your daily shower into a mindfulness practice? Shower 
meditation is a simple and effective way to bring calm to your day. Here's how to do it.

Set an Intention

Before you start your shower, take a moment to set an intention. This could be 
something like "I will be present during this shower" or "I will enjoy this moment of 
relaxation."

Focus on the Sensations

Once you're in the shower, try to focus on the sensations. Feel the warm water on your 
skin, hear the sound of the water, smell the soap. Try to stay focused on these 
sensations instead of letting your mind wander to your to-do list or worries.

Use Breathing Techniques

Breathing techniques can help you stay focused during your shower meditation. Try to 
take deep, slow breaths. Inhale deeply, hold your breath for a moment, then exhale 
slowly. Repeat this throughout your shower.

End with Gratitude

As you finish your shower, take a moment to feel gratitude. Be thankful for the clean 
water, the time to yourself, and the freshness you feel.


Today in the Workbook: After you take a shower and focus on meditating during that

your mind went.
