Bath or shower? Which do you prefer? Does it depend on what you want to do with the rest of the day, or how you feel...?
Baths have become something of a luxury; something of a treat or a special occasion; something to do at the end of a difficult day to soak away all your aches and pains. By the time you have luxuriated in a bath you may be so relaxed that all you want to do is go to sleep.
Some people do their thinking in the bath; they put their world to rights before the end of the day, go to bed unburdened and awake refreshed.
Nowadays, however, the majority of people have showers rather than baths - for all sorts of reasons: cheaper, quicker, more refreshing etc
You might not spend long in the shower but use the time to your advantage:
The shower can be the perfect place for a few well chosen affirmations, especially at the start of the day; words that will get you off to a good start and enable you to achieve your potential.
Use the following, or create your own:
- I am confident and calm
- I am in charge of my destiny
- I am proud of who I am and what I have achieved
Say the affirmations in your head, say them out loud, or put them to the tune of your favourite song. It doesn't really matter - just be confident.
Alternatively, as the water flows over your body, imagine that the water is washing away all your troubles, fears and negative feelings. Imagine that the water droplets are tiny words representing your negative feelings and watch as they disappear down the drain. Then imagine that the water droplets coming from the shower head are all positive words and notice how they make you feel as they wash over your body.
The more often you do this, the easier it will become and you will soon be able to benefit from your Shower of Confidence.
