I’ve shared before how cannabis enhances my parenting abilities. It calms my nerves, reduces my anxiety, and fosters more engaging playtime with my kids. Yet, there’s one benefit of cannabis I haven’t mentioned: it transforms the way I tackle household chores.
Cannabis effectively handles my tedious tasks. It washes my dishes and helps with laundry, but it truly shines when it comes to bigger jobs like cleaning the oven, scrubbing baseboards, and polishing cabinet fronts. Instead of snacking on junk food, I find my true companion in my trusty cleaning supplies. When I have a day dedicated to chores, I cue up some music, enjoy a little cannabis, and dive into cleaning.
And my home shines, no joke!
How I Used to Handle Housework
Previously, I approached cleaning much like most people do: with a sense of dread and resentment, rushing through it as if it were a necessary evil. I cut corners and thought, “No one will really check that bathroom,” or “My kids can sift through their clothes, they don’t need them folded.” I let the dirt accumulate, convinced that I had better things to do than deal with mundane tasks.
Reflecting on this mindset, I realize how privileged and dismissive it was. Deep down, I regarded housework as beneath me, unworthy of my time.
How I Approach Housework Now
Housework is fundamentally a collection of mindless tasks, but it doesn’t have to feel that way. There’s a long-standing cultural tradition that finds beauty and meaning in these repetitive chores. Mindfulness advocate Alex Thompson emphasizes the importance of being present and aware of our actions, stating it helps us focus and express gratitude.
This is where cannabis enters the picture for me. It facilitates a mindset of gratitude as I scrub my baseboards. I no longer fret about dinner plans or my kids’ schoolwork; instead, I immerse myself in the details of cleaning. I remind myself of my fortune to even have baseboards to clean.
While it may sound a bit far-fetched, this practice genuinely benefits me.
The Benefits of This Approach
Cannabis enhances my ability to concentrate on specific tasks, allowing housework to take on new significance. Take folding laundry, for example; instead of viewing it as a nuisance, I now see it as an opportunity to engage with the clothing and the loved ones they belong to. It’s a moment to focus solely on folding.
When I shift my perspective, housework becomes a source of peace and purpose. This calming influence of cannabis helps me appreciate the value of these tasks.
And when my child distracts me, I can handle the interruption with grace, seeing them as a person in need rather than a nuisance. I may sound like a free-spirited mom, and if that’s the case, I’ll embrace it—just pass me the green, please.
