HOUSEWORK IS MEDITATION:
Meditation is about focusing the mind and being aware; when doing housework, it is good to focus the mind on the task at hand and to be aware of the results to make sure the house is getting cleaner rather than just going through motions that don’t produce the best results. Calm breathing helps when doing housework too, along with listening to calm music. Cleaning in a calm mood helps create a calm home and a calm housewife, too.
