Use cleaning as a form of meditation and mindfulness from "summary" of Hinch Yourself Happy by Mrs Hinch
When you think of meditation and mindfulness, cleaning might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But believe me when I say that it can be a powerful way to clear your mind and bring a sense of calm into your life. Imagine this - you put on your favorite music, grab your cleaning supplies, and start scrubbing away at your surfaces. As you focus on the task at hand, you can let go of all the worries and stress that have been weighing you down. It's just you, the cleaning, and the present moment. Cleaning can be a form of moving meditation, where you can let your mind wander and give yourself the space to breathe. You can focus on the rhythm of your movements, the smell of the cleaning products, and the satisfaction of seeing a sparkling clean surface. By being fully present in the act of cleaning, you can cultivate a sense of mindfulness that can carry over into other areas of your life. You can learn to appreciate the small moments of joy that come from a job well done, and let go of the need to constantly be thinking about what comes next. So next time you pick up a sponge or a cloth, try to approach it with a sense of mindfulness and intention. See how it can transform the way you think about cleaning, and maybe even bring a little bit of happiness into your day.
