Redditors Post Their Most Interesting Shower Thoughts That Really Change Your Perspective

Have you ever sung into your shampoo bottle as if you’re putting on the best concert for your imaginary audience? Or had ideas that you believe are revolutionary?

Shower rooms are breeding grounds for imaginations running wild and contemplative thinking. You enter to clean yourself, and suddenly you’re making up scenarios and brainstorming ideas unexpectedly.

It's a win-win situation: you come out scot-free and with a revelation. The best part is that the topics for your shower thoughts are endless.

Shower thoughts happen to many people, even if unintentionally. There are a couple of reasons why showers provoke this kind of thinking.

First, there are obviously fewer distractions when you shower—distractions related to your responsibilities and obligations. This frees up mental space for thoughts beyond those concerns.

Another reason is the sense of relaxation that comes with cleaning yourself. The act is so familiar that you don’t have to put much effort into thinking through each step, allowing your brain to wander without putting you in any danger.

This phenomenon is very common and is discussed in many Twitter threads, as well as having a dedicated subreddit called r/showerthoughts. Here are entries from Redditors.
