Being mindfull throughout your day can help you to reduce anxiety and stress.  We have all heard this, read this and wish we could do this.  Taking a simple task of making your bed (or beds) and thinking of only that moment.  Putting pride in your task, doing your best and breathing through it will actually limit the anxiety that you will feel.  After all you will not be thinking of the 30 other things that need to be done that day.  It is O.K. to take pride in your simple chores like making beds or folding laundry heck Martha Stewart made a career out of it not to mention millions.  Mindfulness simply means to be present in where you are and what you are doing.  The task at hand is worthy of your attention and your time is worthy of the task.  If not stop doing it…forever.  For more tips on mindfulness visit the Oprah Spirit Newsletter at  www.oprah.com/topics/spirit.
