10-Minute Morning Shower Actually Saves You More Time And Makes You More Relaxed

Waking up early has its benefits, the early bird catches the worm is a true statement, and showering in the morning can cement those words into your life. Waking up ten or fifteen minutes earlier than usual can help you effectively use that time slot for a refreshing, cold shower. The rejuvenation of a cold morning shower will prepare you for the day ahead in the following ways.

Saving Time

Busy people always want to squeeze more time in the morning, the good news is we can batch up all the morning rituals at one go—in the morning shower. From brushing, flossing, shaving, scrubbing to moisturising, everything can be clubbed together to save time. Having the discipline to follow an efficiently designed morning routine will allow that energy to flow freely, as the day progresses.

Productivity Increases

Every time you take a cold shower, you feel revived and recharged. This feeling of cleanliness and alacrity, can enhance your mood to tackle the day with enthusiasm. According to a survey performed by Herbal Essences, of one thousand women surveyed, over 90 percent said a morning shower transformed their entire day in a positive light. Why wouldn’t you want to achieve everything that’s possible within the next twenty-four hours in a bright, beaming mood?

Mood Booster

Feeling good is how everyone wants to feel at every waking moment, and experiencing this wondrous emotion is possible through a cold, morning shower. According to researchers at the Department of Radiation Oncology at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, short cold showers may stimulate the brain’s blue spot — the primary source of noradrenaline — which helps chemically mitigate depression. Letting the cold water graze your skin, enter your pores, doesn’t only cleanse your body, but your mind.

Feeling More Energetic

Many people across the globe rely on caffeine, which stimulates the central nervous system. What better way is there than letting freezing cold water soak your skin? There isn’t any better way, because this is a natural process that has been executed for centuries. The classic comedic skit shows individuals getting a bucket of cold water dumped over their heads to wake them up; this sends a direct jolt to the central nervous system, which can’t be beaten by any other method.

Revitalise Your Body

Cold showers also increase the metabolic rate, which will help you lose that pesky 5 pounds that has burdened you for so long. If you’re looking to feel healthier all around, look your absolute best, and make your day enjoyable, then cold showers in the morning should become your prerogative.
