Finding time in your busy schedule to practice mindfulness can be tough. We have jobs, families, social lives and social media to contend with - we're overloaded!
One way to ensure you do get some time to yourself and avoid the dreaded burnout is to dedicate a certain area of your house to your wellness. This could be anything from the way it's decorated to what you have in there, but it's a specific place you can switch off, unwind and just be present for a little while.
How to create a relaxing space in your home
Avoiding fluorescent lighting, taking cues from nature and having a phone/laptop ban are all ways you can bring more serenity into your home.
Keep the area free of clutter, ensure it has a device to play your favourite sounds or music and fill it with your favourite books or pastimes.
Whether it's a meditation spot in your office or a whole zen bathroom, these products will help you to achieve true guru status.
