Designating a space, an infusion zone, where you can be still and relaxed, and away (if possible) from disruptions, is key to a comfortable infusion. Here are some suggestions to create your ideal infusion zone.
Use sensory distractions
This can be a stress ball, a zen garden, anything that helps you feel at ease. Keep a small basket nearby to have handy. Other great ways to up your sensory experience are to dim the lights, use an oil diffuser or put on chill music.
Find entertainment!
Catch up on that show or start a new one. Pick up a good book, magazine or crossword puzzle. Or just check out what your friends are up to on social media.
Chit chat
If you're comfortable with involving others in your experience, call or FaceTime a friend and chat. It'll help distract you while you wait and you'll get to see what everyone is up to.
