This allows you to be fully present in the action of cleaning and step away from sources or triggers of stress. Whether you clean for ten minutes as a break or spend an entire day dedicated to cleaning, it gives you the chance to step away and focus on manual, less arduous tasks. Taking time to clean can also be the time you take to practice mindfulness exercises. Repetitive motions like dusting, vacuuming, and wiping counters are relatively mindless tasks, so it can be a great time to try out breathing exercises and mindfulness exercises.
