Remember Lather, Rinse, Repeat?

Recent neuroscience research suggests we can revitalize our brains as we do our skin and hair.  Think lather, rinse, repeat, with an emphasis on the repeat. 

Scientists have shown that just a few minutes  daily of beneficial, repetitious behavior can improve our resilience, well-being, and overall vitality.

To do this involves mindfully and regularly directing our attention on positive thoughts, and then savoring them until they soak into our long-term memories. ​

​Story initiates the process. 

Research reveals that when reading a story, different brain regions collaborate to create an experience much like recalling a real-life event.  It’s no wonder then, that we want to savor the story at the end of a magical movie or great book.
 
Story, particularly a fable with a transformational format, easily grabs our attention.  When called by story, we pause to ask, ‘what happens next?’ Suddenly we care about the story, allowing its message to soak in.  In other words, savor, soak, repeat.

​We can move from worry to wonder…

with a bar of soap in our hands, a guided visualization in our ears, and an inspiring story in our hearts.

There is no top-secret formula, no overly complicated process, just a fun and innovative approach we playfully call “Bathology.”

​Bathology Splash Cards
Included with the Bathology Splash Cards is a booklet that introduces the art and science of Bathology.
​Each life fable and the corresponding Cartoon Mentor’s inspirational message is integrated into a playful mindfulness practice.
