Too often I find my inner voice complaining about the chores of life, yet in reality, it is a blessing to have so much trivial stuff to do. If you need to put away your clothes, that means you have clothes. If you need to do dishes, it means you have food,and dishes! If you need to clean up your living quarters, that means you have a roof over your head. Gotta get your oil changed? You have a vehicle!
You see, all chores are the result of having good things in your life. Think back to when you really wanted that car, or that house, or those shoes, and you were willing to do anything for them, they were the "bees knees". Now, they are something you curse as you dust, and pick up. They can be loved again! Stop looking at them as the enemy and instead be happy you you have them.
Don't pile on duties as though they are obligations. Remember, you HAVE to do anything. You can leave your socks on the floor, you can let dishes pile up, and dust accumulate, and then, like the Incredible Hulk, you will one day rise up and clean everything in one day! Maybe even one hour. Task by task, or just puttering, and because you are grateful and you WANT to, you will happily declare "That's done!" as you mow through the heap with happiness.
Great music helps, too.
