“SHOWER THOUGHTS” EXPLAINED BY SCIENCE
Written by Jesse on October 10, 2022
I’ve found that while working on projects, the best ideas have come while in the shower. And if you have ever had a eureka moment while showering, a new study may have figured out why this happens.
Scientists at the University of Virginia found that we are more creative when our mind wanders. And showering is the perfect activity for inspiration. It’s mindless but it allows for your thought process to kick in. But the activity can’t be too boring.
The researchers showed subjects a 3 minute movie clip and also showed them boring videos of two guys folding clothes. They found that people were better able to come up with ideas while watching the movie clip and were move engaging.
So the next time you’re struggling to work through something, inspiration is just a shower away!
