Dim the lights to turn your focus inward

Clean up the room, put things in their place, and ensure there is a clear, unobstructed path to the washroom

Ask any roommates to kindly refrain from entering the room before, during, and just after the experience (unless they are required to do as a Peer Monitor, in which case just asking them to remain quiet when doing so)

Keep any pets or children out of the room during the experience

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing

Add your own comforting touches, such as an eye mask, calming scents, any sentimental or important items that help create a calm, open environment
