]]>Use a Filter
While tap water is generally safe for bathing, in many locations, hard water containing minerals and metals can cause a film to build up on hair over time. This build-up often dries hair out and makes it prone to breakage. If you live in a location with hard water, consider installing a filter on your shower head to protect your hair so that it stays strong and healthy.
Hang Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus contains aromatic oils that can help relieve stress and even clear nasal congestion. Tie a bunch of eucalyptus branches together with some twine and hang it behind your showerhead. The steam will help to release the oils and give your shower a relaxing, spa-like feel.
Fluffy Towels
Detergents and fabric softeners can leave a residue on towels that causes them to become scratchy and less absorbent. The best way to make towels feel new again is by adding 1 cup of white vinegar to the fabric softener compartment of your washing machine when doing laundry. The vinegar helps to soften the fibers and remove any old, musty scents.

]]>Mood and Energy Booster
Studies have shown that hormone imbalances can contribute to depression and anxiety. A cold plunge can reduce depression and improve your overall mood. Plunge pools are also an energy booster. Many people start their morning with a coffee or a workout but start your morning with a cold shower.
Improve Your Discipline and Focus
Many claim that plunge pools have improved their focus. This is because when our brain thinks we will die, it goes into survival mode, making us highly focused and hyperaware. Plunge pools are a great way to practice mindfulness and focus on the present moment.
Helps With Recovery
Plunge pools or cold-water immersions can significantly benefit your overall health. Studies have shown that cold water immersion can have an anti-inflammatory effect on your muscles and joints, which helps promote recovery and lowers the risk of injury and pain.
Lymphatic Drainage
Your lymphatic system is a network of vessels that run throughout your body and is the form of transportation of bacteria and toxins away from your blood cells. When our lymphatic system is not circling correctly, we feel unwell. A plunge pool causes the muscles to contract, which ‘restarts’ the circulation process.

]]>It Comes From Within
It may sound cheesy, but happiness truly does come from within. There are external things in the world that can help us find it: a significant other, a child, a career calling, and many others. But a major hack that beats all of those external factors is finding a way to achieve inner peace on your own.

Finding inner peace on your own isn’t easy work, and sometimes it’ll require a lot of trial and error. One option that is quite popular is daily meditation, yoga, or even an exercise regimen. These are things that can help you find your own empowerment, away from all of the other distractions of life. If you can achieve your own inner serenity, then everything else is just an added bonus!
In other words, allow your own happiness to guide you—instead of chasing something that you think will bring it to you. The important thing is to never give up and to remember that there are always people out there to support you if you need it.
