Personal Growth via Annoying Tasks

What’s one chore you find yourself doing more than any other chore?

  • Laundry?
  • Dishes?
  • Landscaping?

What if I told you that inside of this mundane, annoying, hair-pulling chore lies one of your greatest personal growth opportunities?

What if, instead of feeling dread and resentment towards this unavoidable, time-consuming task… you found a way to integrate a task you’ve been wanting/meaning to do, but never seem to have the time to do?

  • What if laundry time suddenly became audiobook time?
  • What if dishes suddenly became meditative time?
  • What if landscaping suddenly became podcast time?

Suddenly… you just made personal growth one of your most time consuming tasks via one of your most time consuming “hair-pulling” tasks.

You might not be able to change what tasks you need to get done to keep your world spinning… but you can always change your approach to these tasks.

Life is too short to spend so much time daily in resentment and annoyance. And you only have so much hair to pull before you go bald. Might as well find ways to align life tasks and change your mind about what you can. Especially if the alternative is awful… what’s there to lose?


P.s. In case you missed it, you can read the best of what I posted to MoveMe Quotes last week, here.
