I hope wellness room essentials go on sale during Amazon Prime Day

If your employer recognizes the importance of mental health and wellbeing, you may be lucky enough to have a designated wellbeing space in your workplace.

Wellness rooms are a safe place to rest, reflect and ease the mind amidst the chaos of calls and other responsibilities. How can we create such an environment in a place where devices can be quickly accessed and calls answered? It’s not easy, but it is achievable with the right products and out-of-the-box thinking.

Products to equip a station wellness room

When it comes to achieving a peaceful, meditative state, I have often found that getting in touch with our senses can help quiet our thoughts and focus the mind. The following additions to your wellness space engage the senses. Be ready to add your cart while Amazon First day !

Touch

When I think about being in a cozy, comfortable, safe place where I can rest my mind momentarily, I think of the feeling of “home” that is usually difficult to replicate in the workplace.

One way to imitate this ambiance is to lay down rugs or carpet to create a nice, warm feeling. In a wellness room, I think it’s a must-have. It doesn’t have to be a giant that covers wall to wall, but rather Amazon sells beautiful rugs in a variety of sizes to fit your space.

THE Hauteloom Collection adds comfort and is designed to resist wear and tear.

Another essential element for a wellness room is adequate lighting. The last thing you want are those bright, industrial-grade fluorescent ceiling lights in a room that’s supposed to be relaxing and comforting.

An excellent alternative is Caromolly therapeutic light, a desk lamp with different settings, including soft and warm colors, brightness control and a timer. It’s a great source of light, especially for those who live in climates that don’t get a lot of sunlight year-round. Amazon Currently offering a 20% discount code on this lamp.

A Himalayan salt lamp can also instantly create a relaxing ambiance in a room. The Spantik Salt Lamp offers a soothing amber glow for under $20.

Smell

Essential oils, such as lavender, eucalyptus or lemongrass, when diffused through a diffuser, can leave a pleasant, calming aroma in the room that completely transforms the ambiance of a space. Amazon offers a range of diffusers.

Built with a quiet trigger mechanism, remote control capabilities and LED lights, the ASAKUKI 500ml Oil Diffuser is the perfect addition to a workplace wellness room, priced at just $21.

Her

For a wellness room to truly tick all the boxes, there needs to be some sort of device to muffle background noise. I can’t speak to a department’s specific SOPs regarding the availability of radio communications, but if you can designate someone to keep an ear out and alert you upon receipt of a radio transmission, it might be the best way to have peace of mind while ensuring you don’t miss any calls.

The white noise meditation sound machine has 30 soothing sounds, different lighting settings and timer/memory functions. Priced just under $20, this is another wellness room must-have.

Investing in mental health

There are many features that can complement a wellness room, from plants to therapy animals.

Use signage to make your wellness area accessible, allowing everyone to use this space without fear of judgment and without constant interruption.

Ultimately, I believe that investing in the mental health of your employees, whether with a wellness room or in another way, is an investment that will pay infinite dividends.
