Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I bring my towel into the bathroom and turn the water on. I tell myself I can turn the water off and give up but usually just the partial act of showering will get me to do it. Putting on music or a podcast helps so I can pay attention to something else while showering helps too.
Otherwise I’ll use wet wipes for the days it’s just not happening.
Just want to second all of this advice. Make showering as pleasant as possible - I use podcasts the most. I'll even bring in my coffee or a cold beverage and reframe it as "spa" time.
Also showering every other day, as long as you're not in a super hot climate, is usually plenty to keep yourself at normal levels of cleanliness.
Crap, why didn't I think of it as spa time? Seriously, I might just get some stuff to set it up like a bathhouse. Too bad my area's too rural and separated for any banyas to exist.
Sometimes tricking our brain is easy lol
I hope that helps!!
Thank you for the tip—it sounds amazing!
I love music, but it doesn't sound right in the shower, therefore I avoid audio for the sake of preserving the original sound. I have a pack of antibiotic wet wipes for that reason as well.
Audio books and a decent speaker. I have a little clip speaker that I bought specifically for the shower. I love getting lost in books while showering and since the actual cleaning activity occupies the annoying part of my brain, I can truly sink in to the narrative.
Damn, the JBL one? I was thinking about getting that for snowboarding anyway LOL. I've never really tried an audiobook, but if I end up getting a JBL, it's worth a shot I guess!
