Why showering makes us so happy

Did you know that you can use showers to specifically combat bad moods, stress, and tension? Showers release loads of endorphins.

How to find happiness in the shower:

1) If you experience tension in your neck and shoulders, stiff joints, or lower back pain in the morning after waking up, the best thing to do is take a shower. The warm water provides quick relief, and the warmth helps muscles, joints, and spine relax.

2) If you're in a bad mood, you'll feel better right after a shower. Psychologists at the University of Vienna have proven that endorphins are produced while we enjoy the warm water, similar to what happens when jogging. The tingling sensation on the skin promotes the production of endorphins, which not only improves our mood but can even have a pain-relieving effect.

3) Last but not least, we should also treat ourselves to a long shower after a stressful workday. This relaxes quickly and washes away all the stress.

So what are you waiting for? Hop in the shower! :) Fragrant greetings, Marie xx
