Healing While Washing the Dishes? You can do it!
Don't you remember? At what age were you asked by your mother to help wash the dishes? It's very heavy, isn't it? Not only you, I also feel it. For women, it feels like we can't run away from the obligation to wash dishes. But are you aware that it turns out that washing dishes is a very appropriate healing when you have to be at home. It could be because the office work that has to be brought home is piling up, or you have to take care of the baby because you still have a toddler or you want to go out, but you have to save a lot. Try washing the dishes, I'm sure no matter how many dirty dishes are piling up in the bucket or in your kitchen sink, it will feel cool, if you really enjoy this legendary craft.
I don't know when it started, lately I like to wash dishes. It is very rare to ask for help from family at home. I do this myself. Especially in the month of Ramadan, washing dishes twice a day. After breaking the fast and after the Fajr prayer.
When I started washing dishes, I was everywhere, my brain was traveling, traveling. While my hands continued to work, shifting from one plate to another. I started by rubbing the plate with the reason that the plate is a household appliance that is not too dirty, slightly touched by the oil element. Then, bowls of gravy, tuppy and the like. The last objects I rubbed with the sponge were the pans and lids. Spoons and other small items rank last I rub.
Back to how washing dishes healed me. While working on that kitchen assignment, I could daydream about many things. Returning to the same natural feeling, often feelings of sadness, disappointment, joy, happiness, all occupy the space of my mind one by one. Here I reflect on the event when the feeling arose. I tried to find the cause, and the reason behind it. Then I try to understand why someone does something that makes me sad, angry, and disappointed. Seeing her version of that person, how could she see me like that. Did you know that the easiest way to heal wounds when memories arise is to forgive the toxic person. Think of it as a weakness. Not only him, you and I also have weaknesses. My toxic friend doesn't like me, maybe I should improve myself to be better. One more thing I later learned was to pray for him. Don't make plans about how to repay his bad deeds towards us.
These thoughts seemed to appear in my subconscious while I was washing the dishes. Like sheets of film being replayed. Not to mention how I build dreams when the smell of fresh dishwashing liquid affects the happiness in my brain. My dream is to be in Saudia to perform the pilgrimage, to go to Cappocadia which has recently gone viral because of the soap opera, Qatar, and I can feel the snow in New Zealand. Or the thrill of exploring the amazon forest. friends, I'm just imagining it.
The wonderful experiences of my childhood, also reopened. In my daydream I screamed with joy when my friend splashed water on my face while bathing in the river. When this flashback fills my mind, I believe without realizing it the endorphins, cytosine and their friends are working really well.
Therefore, for you moms and girls who want to be good moms, don't be lazy to wash the dishes, let alone be annoyed with your mother who asks for help washing the dishes that have piled up. If you have started, then it is difficult for you to stop, the important thing is to start first. Time and again I feel the pile of plates in front of me is lacking in number. I need more dirty dishes now. I didn't realize everything was clean. For those of you who have the same experience. Toss us in line.
