Have you heard of an epiphany toilet? I came across the term when I was watching scrubs, and it got me thinking. Is there such thing?
Come to think about it, it’s true that my thoughts are always clearer when I’m in the bathroom. Great ideas seem to come easily and I can even remember things I usually won’t in the bathroom! It’s incredible I tell you. Many ideas and thoughts seem to be coming out of nowhere when I’m in the bathroom. But it’s the one place people where normally don’t keep pieces of paper in, so pretty soon after I get out, the thoughts would be gone.
Maybe it is the one place where we normally don’t keep other entertainment gadgets in, therefore there isn’t any distraction. We could concentrate and focus our thoughts. Our mind is a magical thing, it wonders whenever it gets an opportunity, and the bathroom is the perfect place for thoughts. It is the one time you’re completely alone by yourself. Hence, many thinking sessions take place when I am bathing. I have drafted letters in my mind, with a constant flow of ideas and rekindled memories. The only problem is, as soon as I leave the bathroom, all those thoughts slip from my mind.
Maybe I should consider moving my work station into the bathroom. Or better yet, set up an office in there. I’ll call it the inspiration room instead.
The question remains, ‘As we cleanse ourself, do our minds become clearer too?’

This is so true. My mind is always clearest and at my most creative especially when I am taking my shower. I can get loads of ideas on what to write on my blog and how to write it etc… but, same like you, things would just slip off my mind the moment I set my foot out from the toilet. Doh!
I think there’s a market for waterproof PDA for bloggers like us. lol
