You are more likely to carry out your intention to perform BSE if you make a decision about where and when you will do so. Many women find it most convenient to perform BSE at the start of the morning or last thing at night, in the shower or bath, or while they are getting dressed in their bedroom or bathroom. Others like to do it in bed before they go to sleep or prior to getting up. Decide now where and when you will perform BSE in the next month and make a commitment to do so. |
