Hoovering

I chose to apply the AT more intentionally to one of my chores today - hoovering. I set myself to report on what did I notice:

- I was more in touch with my breathing than usual - it was neither free / effortless, nor very restricted / uncomfortable, as it tends to be.

- Doing it the kneeling position allowed me to use the hoover with less effort.

- Effort and tension is not needed for doing things well.

- I experienced a brief moment of joy and satisfaction - feeling settled and comfortable in my body, which is engaged in a practical task, but without being identified with it.
