short term “shower” method & how to make showering enjoyable ((….kinda?)

[bloodonmyhands4ever]

I decided to make this post incase anyone needs it. I have had the same feeling of "gah…this takes so much steps."

MY personal method…
Have a sink or such (wash it beforehand IF you care).
Run your hair under water and dry. I know it's not cleaning technically but it works SHORT TERM.
IF you do have shampoo / conditioner. . . Run your hair under water, use the shampoo / conditioner and rinse your hair.
For your body, Use those no rinse body washes OR pre-moistened bath wipes.

as for making showering enjoyable in some way, shape or sense. . . There are like 2-3 ways I know how
1. Promise yourself a treat of some sort after showering.
2. Gaslight yourself into saying it's a quick shower
3. Listen to music, a show, podcast, etc DURING the shower

If you have thoughts like "But .. But!! It takes so long!! it takes so much steps!" / "What if I don't have any energy." Please use method one. Try thinking of it as "oh, a quick wash for my hair / body." (????)
This has worked for me. . . I can TRY to help ANYONE who replies.

Really good thread & advice, I think. I still struggle to shower :( I think most people underestimate how much effort and how many steps it takes to shower. It can be so hard.

I used to not let my cats in the bathroom when I showered, but I've been letting them in now. It helps to shower when you have a little buddy trying to rescue you from water and screaming behind the curtain
