The Psychology and Physiology Of Why It Works

Everyone has heard the phrase, “I have my best Ideas in the shower!”

Some people have also felt this working!

Suddenly — Eureka!

The answer seems so clear!

But, is there something to this?

Well, it turns out that there is!

When you study Psychophysiology closely, you will find that several factors work together which allow us to have our best Ideas in the Shower!

Showers themselves aren’t “Inherently” magical, but in a way, the number of Benefits that occur at the same time can make them “Feel” magical!

To understand what is actually happening, you first need to understand Stress.

At this point in history, 80% of people are in Burnout.

There are many more who are not far away from it.

Now, “Burnout” is just a fancy buzzword for Extreme Dis-Stress.

However, “Stress” is not inherently bad!

Dis-Stress is, of course, bad.

However, there is also Eu-Stress, or “Good Stress”.
