A good daily hygiene routine will help minimize the bacteria that cause offensive body odor. Include the following practices in your daily routine. Shower or take a bath daily. Wash your entire body with antibacterial body wash or soap, paying special attention to your underarms, groin, and feet. Shave your armpits. Hair provides additional surface area for bacteria to multiply, but by shaving you will reduce the number of odor causing bacteria on your body. Dry yourself thoroughly. After you get squeaky clean, dry yourself off with a clean, dry towel. Excess moisture provides a breeding ground for bacteria, so dry your armpits especially well. After showering and before applying deodorant, spritz your underarms with white or apple cider vinegar and then wipe them dry with a cloth. This extra step will reduce the number of odor causing bacteria on your skin and help you to smell better all day. In addition to showering daily, keep your armpits and other parts of your body clean and sweat free by using baby wipes or adult body wipes.

Dealing with emotions can be difficult, as they can change rapidly. But it's important to allow yourself to experience your emotions, as repressing them can cause stress.

However, isolation can increase feelings of sadness. Try doing something like running errands or getting a pedicure. You won't have to spend much emotional energy, but you'll get some human contact. Try tackling a project. You'll take your mind off of whatever is bothering you and the sense of accomplishment will boost your spirits.
