Shower

This may sound funny posting about taking a shower, but that is a real event for me now. My anxiety gives me lots of problems taking care of my hygiene, and I am often terrified of taking showers. Yesterday I took a nice, long shower, took my time and practiced a little of something a friend of mine calls "self love" - that is, taking care of hygiene is the most basic component of self love.
It wasn't easy for me, my anxiety was peaking the whole time, around level 5, but I fought it, and it's worth it. I can't do it all the time, but when I can I approach it by using positive self-dialog, saying things to myself like "It's OK to love myself".
