Mindful Immersion

The purpose of this mindful exercise is to take a familiar task and turn it into a new experience.

Pick a chore (or a task at work) and rather than treating it a regular chore (task) change it into a completely new activity.

For example at home if you are washing up;

take time - notice how the water flows into the sink, how the washing up liquid intertwines with the water, how your hands move through the water, how it feels on your skin; if you are at work and are holding a meeting, notice the people entering the meeting, notice what they are wearing, how they are moving, what they are doing whilst they speak. Cultivate contentment in the moment and with what you are doing, take the time to really look and appreciate what is happening in those moments. Slow your world down.
