Live Life Fully, Shower First

Neurological studies prove that the mind relaxes while showering. This relaxation allows the brain to think more creatively. An interesting fact to embellish this idea is that many Nobel prizes have been awarded to scientists and mathematicians who spent years trying to resolve problems only to come to their solutions not while concentrating in the lab but while lathering in a hot shower. (see ”Where Do Eureka Moments Come From?” BY MARIA KONNIKOVA)

Couple the brain benefits with the life-enhancing the feeling of relaxation and the beauty-enhancing impact of purifying the skin and boosting blood flow - a morning shower holds the potential of an incredible day.
Live life fully - shower first.
Here is how:
Set the temperature to HOT!
Turn the temperature up to 120F to fully stimulate circulation and blood flow. That matters because improved blood flow helps reduce tension, muscle pain, reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease, helps flush the lymphatic system, revives the system to warm and give energy and brings oxygen to every cell in the body. Healthy right? 
Some habitual abuses lead to great things. Shower, Daily. Focus on your technique, daily, in the morning (baths in the evening). Start with a few deep breaths in the steamy air and some slow stretches. Then begin showering with a richly lathering, sulfate-free, all-natural soap with an essential oil-based scent that reflects your mood and the season. Always start from the very bottom of the feet in small circular motions up towards the heart and out the tips of your fingers. Follow with an invigorating scrub in the same motions including the back and neck in cross-motions. If you can - rinse with very cold water. This further stimulates blood flow and circulation, tightens pores, firms skin, and is shown to balance hormonal shifts especially in pituitary gland imbalances such as thyroid disease.          
Ingredients matter, period. The skin absorbs nutrients directly into the blood flow so clean, soften and moisturize with the most potent, all-natural options. Concentrated fresh fruits and whole botanicals like certified organic aloe, avocado, coconut, cucumber, ginger and apples provide a deep, powerful range of healing, curative new refreshing benefits. It matters. The ingredients that bring the aroma experience to showering are important. Smell communicates directly to the limbic system basically telling your brain how to feel -clear, focused, alert, happy, sleepy, relaxed... pick your favorite scent based on quality of the essential oil aroma and trust how it makes you feel. In the morning, I find myself drawn to ingredients like laurel, mint, sage, yuzu and grapefruit.            
Build in time to towel off. Before toweling off apply a rich oil to skin while still damp. Oil quickly absorbs delivering heat and moisture to the skin. Towel off or wrap up in a hot towel and soak in a few minutes of sun (better than coffee for waking the mind.) Always apply protective and nourishing lotion to the whole body. Proceed with purpose Your full potential is reached by having calm, clean, collected intentions. And the glow - Definitely illuminating.
