I know many people are expert to relax while cleaning, but there are still many of us who still didn’t get the essence of it while cleaning, so I would like to share my point of view on this issue here.
Before talking about how to relax, we all have to understand it is really important to relax while cleaning, yet many of us are just exactly the opposite, we are so triggered by the data that we so want to get rid of it, while we are cleaning, we are just so tense.
It really doesn’t mean in this case cleaning doesn’t work, but it is for sure if we can clean in a relax way, we can clean more efficiently, and we can enjoy a lot more in the process when we can relax.
The starting point to relax while cleaning is to realize what is our status while cleaning, we need to observe our cleaning process, it is not a must for cleaning, but when we are not able to relax while cleaning, it would be good to observe our status while cleaning, so we can tune it.
When we look at our cleaning process, many might find out we might have strong urge to change something, either we want to get rid of anything, or we want something, this is normal, and that might be the reason why we started our cleaning process.
But when we keep on cleaning and get to understand more about the essence of cleaning, we will then notice when we are so focus on the change or the ‘problem’ we are holding the data tight and not letting it go, so this is the main reason why we are so tense in our cleaning process.
We need to make sure we notice data are only data and they are not real, before we can relax in the cleaning process, at many times, we on one hand knew we need to clean, but we did not aware enough that what we are cleaning is data and they are only illusions.
The reason why we are so tense about it mainly is because we see data as real (even sometimes we didn’t notice it ourselves), let us look at cleaning as if we are cleaning the dust on the window, when dust is covering the window, light cannot get in the room, and what we need to do is to get rid of the dust and let the window clear again.
No matter what method we use to clean the window, we focus on keeping the window clean, instead of the dust, but when we are cleaning data, as we focus so much on the data itself that we didn’t realize data are just like dust on the window.
We then are just like expecting to clean the window to keep the dust as heart shape or star shape, while that is totally meaningless and when dust is still sticking on the window, light cannot come in, and window is not clean, but when we clean data, we didn’t realize we are doing such a ridiculous thing.
So to relax while cleaning is to make sure we know what is data and what is real, when we can keep this vision all the time, we find out what we see as ‘problems’ are just only our own perception and that is exactly the data we need to clean only, the more we get this point, the more we won’t focus on data.
Just like when we clean the window we will not focus on how the dust looks like or even we will not focus where the dust comes from, we just focus on whether we have clean them or if they are still sticking on the window, if we can see cleaning in this way, cleaning will become much more simple than we might imagine before.
But we need to always remember even we were tense in the process, we are not doing anything wrong, just like when we clean the window, even if we focus on the dust, it is not a wrong, we just focus on cleaning again when we realize we put focus on dust, then things will be just fine, and this also applies to cleaning any data.
If in the process we feel we cannot relax, take some rest first, and then clean up that tension first after some rest, nothing is in a hurry, and when we start again after cleaning the tension, and focus on the cleaning itself, we will find that cleaning can be an enjoyable and relax process, make it like a game, and have fun.
