I tried the "joyful cleaning" perspective. This is what I noticed. First, I took time to praise myself for a job well done. I acknowledged that the room looked better and I felt better. Second, I was amazed that so little did so much. I think this "discovered ease" was a result of the new perspective. If you see the work as easy. purposeful or fun, then your focus on that, not on the drudgery of the task. What you focus on grows and what you ignore diminishes. Perhaps that is the lesson.
This is why fear is best ignored. Focus on the fear and it grows. Even though the feared event has not happen and perhaps never will, your body reacts as if it is happening. So the body is stressed even though the situation is not real. Think about something that has great negative emotion for you. How does your body feel? Does it feel like it is happening all over again? This is real to your body. Stop going there or you will wear yourself out.
Today I play. Balance is good.
