The Magic Of A Morning Bath Routine!?
Published on HivePostify by @urielkinnear · Wed Sep 02 2026
So we had a bit of an issue recently.. the shower packed in, or actually the shower packed in twice! First time was about 3 months back and we quickly got a 'spark' out to diagnose the problem and get the shower back working again, but then more recently there was another issue and once again the shower went dark.
Initially it would be fair to say that there was some heated debate about the status of the shower and also some questions about the quality of the work carried out by the first electrician 😇
After everybody settled down we had a think and decided we didn't want the hassle of chasing a new electrician to fix what looked like the same issue for the second time in as many months. We have a bath so why not stick with it for a while and regroup before entertaining any more drama.
The Morning Bath, A Revelation! - It wasn't until I climbed into the bath on the first morning that I realized just how long it had been since the last one I'd had, we are seriously talking years. No bad hygiene jokes, just week in week out the shower was the quick and painless go to option.
Anyway, we are finally getting to the meat on the bone here.
> What started out as an unfortunate circumstance of the shower breaking has actually led to a morning bath ritual that has done wonders for my stress levels and mental health.
I'm sure most people would say a bath in the morning before heading off to work for the day is a bit over the top. When I casually mentioned it to some of the guys at work they were amazed at the idea. Chilling in a bath for 30 mins at 6.30am, not exactly a core component of the morning rush to work 😆

Try it yourself, if you've never done it before a full week Mon-Fri starting each day with a 30 min dip in the tub and see how it goes. Genuinely think I'm on to something!
> I'm now looking at lots of other day to day norms and wondering if it's time to turn them on their head! Needless to say I'm in no rush to get the shower sorted now.
Thanks for stopping by!
