A Good Old Sing-song

Is there anything better than having a good old sing-song in the shower? I mean really singing, not your timid humming. Today I realised how good singing the shower made me feel. It really helped me let go and just be myself. It also allowed me to imagine that I was headlining my own concert, which obviously would never happen, because 1. I'm too much of a scaredy cat and 2. I am no Beyonce.

After an unexpectedly long day at work all I wanted when I got home was a shower to wash away the stress, so in I got with my Musicals playlist blarring out. As soon as that feel-good music started and the warm water hit my skin I instantly felt relaxed. That is my happy place, standing in the shower belting out Hairspray bangers with no one but my self to care about if its sounding good or bad.

It turns out that its common for you to be relaxed in the shower, and when you relax your body releases Dopamine which can give your creative juices a jump start, hence the inevitable concert. Even though you are already feeling good, singing makes you feel even better! As you sing you take in more Oxygen which improves your circulation, and as you're breathing even deeper it almost has the same effects as Meditation.

I mean I don't know about you but personally I like to sing in the shower because it has the BEST acoustics. No where sounds as good as the shower, and yes my shower has better acoustics than yours, no lie.

For me the act of singing in the shower is just another way to forget my problems. If your're concentrating on the words of your favourite song as to not dissappoint that massive crowd you're imagining then you have no room in your brain to think about your problems. Maybe I'll sing in the shower more often... what's your shower anthem?
