In our fast-paced digital world, finding moments of peace can feel like a luxury. Yet one space remains sacred and private - your bathroom. It's not just a functional space, but an opportunity for a mindful break in your day - whether it's a break from your boss or a break from your toddler, it's a sanctuary, so let's treat it as one. Let's explore how to transform these necessary moments into a wellness ritual with PROPPR.
The Art of Mindful Bathroom Visits
1. Create Your Sanctuary
Your bathroom should feel like a calming retreat. Position your PROPPR stool thoughtfully, ensuring it's within easy reach when needed. Remember, our design allows for elegant side placement, keeping your space both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
2. Perfect Your Position
The right position makes all the difference. Your PROPPR stool creates an optimal angle that aligns your body naturally, reducing strain and supporting complete elimination. This ergonomic position isn't just about physical comfort - it's about creating a foundation for a more relaxed experience.
3. Practice Mindful Breathing - Your Chance For a Few Moments of Zen
Take this private time to reconnect with your breath. As you settle into position, try taking deep, calming breaths. Inhale slowly through your nose, allowing your belly to expand, and exhale gently through your mouth. This simple practice can help release tension and support your body's natural processes.
4. Listen to Your Body
There's no need to rush. Give yourself permission to take the time your body needs. Pushing or straining can lead to discomfort and potential health issues. Instead, let your body guide you while maintaining proper positioning with your PROPPR.
The Wellness Connection
Remember that digestive health is intimately connected with overall wellbeing. A relaxed mind supports a relaxed body, and vice versa. Consider complementing your bathroom ritual with a cup of PROPPR's SooTHE tea before or after - its blend of ginger, peppermint, and fennel can help maintain digestive harmony.
Creating Your Routine
Everyone's body has its own rhythm. Some find morning visits most natural, while others prefer evening ones. Whatever your pattern, make it a mindful practice:
- Set yourself up for success with proper positioning
- Take slow, deliberate breaths - we LOVE Insight Timer for short or long guided meditations
- Give yourself adequate time
- Stay present in the moment
A Final Note
Your bathroom routine is a personal wellness ritual. Whether you use this time for quiet reflection, gentle breathing, or simply being present, your PROPPR is there to support both your physical and mental wellbeing. Remember, these moments aren't just about function - they're an important part of your daily self-care practice.
