Today I decided to change the way I think about things, by changing the wording!
I've never been what you would call a dedicated house-wife. My house gets a good spring clean...when I have visitors coming!!! I just hate house-work!
It's the sound of it, isn't it? House work.
But it's my day off! I don't want to have to work!
So, today, in the spirit of positive thinking, I decided to do some home-caring!!!
As Judy said...I went round the house, telling it how much I loved and cared for it!!
No, seriously, I just kept telling myself that I was caring for my home as I cleaned, and the time flew! And I didn't feel resentful, or stressed, or over-worked. And - bonus - my house looks tidy and (mostly) clean!!!
I shall try this technique again! I actually quite enjoyed home-caring, and I certainly like the results.
Today I am grateful for the power of words.
Gratefully yours.

Here's a gatha for you:
ReplyDeleteAs I clean this room, I make it fresh and calm and boundless joy and energy arise in me. My heart and mind grow clearer with this experience.
Jeez...if I memorise this one I may never stop cleaning!! I'm actually looking forward to my next day off already!!! K and the kids will think they've come home to the wrong house!!
