Housework can be a mindful and spiritual exercise
Can you imagine that there are some people who indulge in doing housework?
Many find cleaning a house a truly therapeutic task.
Some women claim that while doing the ironing or scrubbing the floors they can quiet the mind and relax.
If housework is done as a mindfulness exercise it can relieve stress and improve concentration. As you have to focus on the act, organize, remain silent, and pay attention to what you’re doing you can enter the state of full attention.
As a result, it will allow you to decrease your brain activity and reduce tension at the same time.
