Here are a few tips for practicing proper mindfulness through spring cleaning:
Focus on one task at a time. Rather than rushing from room to room, fully immerse yourself in each task by concentrating solely on it. Notice details you may normally overlook.
Be present with your senses. As you work, pay attention to how objects feel, smell, look and sound. This helps avoid distracting thoughts and brings awareness to the current moment.
Notice thoughts and let them go. Mental chatter is normal, but don't dwell on or judge thoughts. Gently return focus to your breathing and the task at hand.
Work at a relaxed pace. Don't rush, which can cause stress or careless mistakes. Find a rhythm
