Unusual habit?

“Is there any weird thing that you like to do?”

Well, it is hard to define weird in the first place, and if it is done regularly I think it’s hard to point out, as it becomes normalized. As for me, I’d say it’s mid-day showering.

I like to shower at around 2 pm, as it’s between the time when I’m the most stressed out from my work and bored the hell out of my mind. I won’t say working at home is more stressful than going to the office every day, but it is still very taxing mentally. My mind tends to seek short-term escapes when it gets too hard, like watching youtube or going through social media.

There’s no manager that stares at you all the time at home, so it’s very easy to roll in bed and stop working for a while (sometimes until the afternoon), on the other hand even if I force myself to continue working, my judgement gets clouded and it just turns into more work at the end.

When showering, I still use hot water as I don’t want to torture myself, I just want a short escape, to my 7-steps-away-bathroom. My justification is that I feel this is some type of meditation for me, where I can metaphorically and literally wash away my bad juju and start again fresh. Of course, it doesn’t always work, probably just one-third, for the rest I still have the urge to escape with my wet hair to the land of irresponsibility.

Usually, after my mid-day shower, I don’t take another shower for the day because I’m not that sweaty. But if I will took more If I need to, love showering anyways.
