Doing The Dishes With Mindfulness

Hi, folks. How are you? My name is Nick the poet, and I'm here in my kitchen, and I have some dirty dishes that I'm working on doing. And it just made me think that doing the dishes is an absolutely amazing way to practice mindfulness. And so there's all these little opportunities during the day where we can take a deep breath and really be present with what we're doing. And I work on the computer. A lot of, you know, I work on my phone. I'm in digital marketing. And so anytime that I have an opportunity to kind of get present with an analog task, like washing the dishes, you know, mowing the lawn, you know, or if I'm just going for a walk, anything I can do to kind of, you know, be mindful and get back to presence, back to my breath, and back to what I'm doing, you know, is a really major, major opportunity.

And so, you know, even something as simple as when we're brushing our teeth, you know, really just pay attention, you know, to how does the toothbrush feel on the teeth, you know, taking those deep breaths, you know, feeling your feet on the ground. There's all these types of activities that I really feel help us to bring us back to our humanity, you know, within the stresses of daily life. So please, you know, give this a try. Next time you're doing the dishes, try to be really, really present and just see how it goes.

So that is my mindfulness tip for you today. I hope you enjoy it. Please email me nhansonadre IO and let me know how it goes. Okay, bye.
