Can anything be compared to a warm bath/shower after a day's work? If you have never experienced this aspect of life, please remember to give it a try. I recommend it for everyone. Whether one is a housewife, at-home-Mom, married-but without children, single Mom, Single Dad, and especially Moms with many kids and Dads with their hands full.
Any kind of work, whether it is inside the house or outside, whether it is in the kitchen, the bedroom, or the boardroom, results in some level of elimination of sweat and similar stuff after hours of it. And the hands might get stiff, the legs might get cramps, the neck might be bowed permanently, the back might develop an arch, the eyes might need higher power adjustment over the years. All these is the fee we pay for having and overused and stressed out body.
If only we had known how to relax, especially as easily as one can by just opening the shower, or dipping in the tub. Like washed clothes, we soak and clean up, and other systems in the body too clean up in the process. When we go to bed in the end, we are so relaxed that we don't toss and turn, we don't agonise over the day's unresolved issues. We return to the moment, back from our endless aimless mental journeys.
Try a warm bath. Tonight! Or in the evening. And let me know the results.

I think that one of the reasons for people's predilection for warm baths come from a sense of being back in the womb. That tepid temperature that kisses your skin and makes you relax is an excellent way to unwind. Thanks for such a good post.
