Vacuuming Stress

If you’re not into yoga or meditation – consider vacuuming!

If you’re lacking a mantra – or haven’t perfected your downward-facing dog – fire up the vacuum cleaner! Getting completely involved in an everyday task can be as beneficial as meditation for some people. There is an art to vacuuming away anxiety. Focus on the whir of the machine – and find a good rhythm for the pushing and pulling action – you want your breathing to be in sync with that. Inhale to the count of 4 – then exhale to the count of 4. If you can keep your mind focused on the whir and your breathing for ten minutes – you’ve completed your meditation – and have a really clean spot in your house.
