Today's meditation consisted of bringing total awareness to an everyday activity. It is similar to the driving meditation i did a few days ago, but this time i chose a household chore.
I set the timer for 5 minutes and began to unload the dishwasher. I tried to concentrate on nothing except the task at hand. Picking up a dish and putting it back in its' place.
I found that this exercise was an easy way to incorporate meditation and awareness into something that i was forced to do anyways. It took the dullness out of the situation and made the whole experience worthwhile.
