Turn Tasks Into Mindful Moments

Some mundane and tedious tasks are unavoidable, like washing the dishes or folding laundry. And while you can’t remove these from your life, you can change the way you view them. These simple tasks can actually be meditative if you allow them to be. They can be viewed as a break from more mentally taxing projects (like your day job or complex relationship issues). Plus, they give you a chance to practice mindfulness.
You can challenge yourself to focus on the sensation of the warm water or the nice scent of soap when doing dishes. Focus on the satisfying textures of clothing while folding laundry. If you can shift your feelings about these tasks, you can start to come out of them refreshed rather than tired.
