How to Begin Mindful Housekeeping

Posted on May 3, 2025 by msw blog
  1. Set a compassionate intention for doing your chore well — for example, creating a nice, clean space for you and your family to sit and sip a hot drink.
  2. Take a moment to consciously relax any tension in your body.
  3. Gently become aware of your breath as you work, to help you stay in the moment.
  4. When your mind wanders (and it will) to complaints, your to-do list or something that’s been bothering you, simplynotice the thought arising and return your attention to the task at hand.
  5. Pay attention to your senses: the feeling of warm, soapy water; the grain of the wood counter; the sounds coming from the open window.

Mindfulness

Posted on May 2, 2025 by msw blog

Dr. Chris Willard, a psychologist and author of the forthcoming book How We Grow Through What We Go Through. In the midst of both mundane and extraordinary struggles, Willard says, “Mindfulness can help you learn to tolerate, manage, and respond, rather than react, to negative emotions, but it will not get rid of them. We want to have our emotions be useful to us, not be overwhelming or destructive.”
