2. Did you know?
Whether you've woken up on the wrong side of the bed or just had a bad day, shower singing gets to the core of the problem and helps turn those negative feelings around. Research proves that singing combats sadness, anxiety and depression. And in the long term, it's been tied to increased life expectancy and improved coping with chronic pain. So get the water temperature right, suds up and let it go.
