A day of mindfulness

In one of Thich Nhat Hahn's books he suggests setting aside one day a week to be totally mindful. One needs to be alone to do as he suggests it - no talking when one is still new at this. So this would be extremely difficult for people who don't live alone - especially someone with children.

I plan to do this when my hub goes to visit his daughter in London soon. I'll have several days to myself so I can also extend it to the other days when I'm not working. TNH suggests doing chores slowly and mindfully and enjoying them, not doing them quickly in order to get them done and overwith. Other ways to spend the day include slowly taking a bath, mindfully drinking tea, eating, reading, going for a walk, gardening. This will mean for me leaving the computer off. I will do extra sittings as well.
