ok, I'm putting this in inspiration because I truly think it can be helpful.
I've been thinking for a while what if instead of scrolling my phone when I take a break to use the bathroom I take a moment to actually be present? Radical, I know.
Because the thing is when we take a break with our phones, we think we're taking a break but we're really not. Our minds are still busy as ever, distracted, multitasking etc.
Who's in for the bathroom meditation challenge?

Rules are to leave your phone out of the bathroom. And use it to breathe deeply. Feel into your body (yeah there are actually wondrous things happening in your body while you're using the bathroom!) and take a moment to really be in the moment.

Ok now the tomatoes can start, I'm ducking Laugh

But if you're nuts like me, I'd love to hear how you like this idea.

I am usually off my phone during the day so bathroom breaks are phone breaks.

Also: if you suffer from constipation, do a guided meditation (you can find hundreds of them on Spotify)!!

Saw this as I'm about to head into a soaking bath with magnesium after a long intense day. I usually take baths with my phone but I'll set a timer and leave it on the counter.

trust me I know all about it! It's like a "break" for me but honestly it really isn't a break - my mind gets so much clearer and refreshed when I simply breathe and try to be present and feel into my body.
