When I was a kid I could go 2 or 3 days without feeling water on my skin. My mom would become the bath police and force me to put an end to the dirty period.
However, once I was under the hot water, I didn't want to get out of there. The feeling of freshness was so pleasurable, it made me question why I was dirty for so long.
I believe that taking a bath is superior to taking a shower. The question of taking a shower implies the need to be clean as quickly as possible to go then to fulfill some duty.
That's why the magic is lost. I concentrate so much on the next step to take, that I forget the divine process, which is to also feel the cold water falling from above on a hot day.
Hence it is also enjoyable if you take away the handicap of haste. But taking a bath is for relaxation. It is an experience that you even schedule as a recreational activity. It is a commitment to skin care.
It is also a time to forget about problems, or to separate the most turbulent events of the day from the mind and discard them for a while in the dustbin of forgetfulness.
People with chronic pain can also benefit from taking baths. Exercises of the affected limbs can be done in the bathtub, and the water acts as a shock absorber that prevents sudden and excessive movements.
Bathing has many advantages over showering. The most difficult issue is to find that little bit of time to enjoy it. However, the shower can also be enjoyed without limits. You just need to do it without rushing.
