I always liked mowing the lawn. As a kid it was one of my "favourite" chores. I know it's sad, but it beats gardening and washing the dishes. I still like doing it today.
I like the smell of the newly cut grass. I like the sense of achievements when I am done and the lawn looks clean and tidy. What I like the most is the time it gives me to reflect - to be with my own thoughts.
The act of mowing the lawn is a mindless task, just don't cut the electric cord or chopping up the kids toys. My mind therefore wonders - solving problems, coming up new ideas, resting and switching off.
My sense of achievement now more than doubles after I mowed the lawn. Not only did I accomplish something physical and tangible, but I also had time to reflect on anything and everything.
Use all the quiet spaces in your life to reflect. I sometimes drive in total silence - no radio, no music, no podcast - just driving. We aware of the quiet spaces in your day and use these for daily reflection.
