I'm up and down to London a lot.
I'm very active.
But I think for a lot of people, it's not necessary.
And I feel like there's this kind of unspoken rule that you have to shower every single day.
And that's what everyone does.
That's what humans do.
But...
Speaking to a lot of people in the community, I think that actually getting undressed, getting in water, it's incredibly overstimulating.
It's a sensory nightmare sometimes, having to get soaking wet, having to dry yourself, the time that it takes, the sort of mental energy it takes to think about starting that process.
I feel like unless you...
are a marathon runner or you're extremely active.
I don't think we need to shower every single day sometimes.
I think some people love showering.
I love taking baths, for example.
I try and have at least three, four baths a week.
It's my total comfort zone where I enjoy spending time.
It's great.
Light a candle, lower the lights.
For some people, it will work.
For some people, it doesn't.
