Find Zen in mundane daily repetitive tasks. Avoid all screens for first hour after you wake up (and the hour before you sleep). Stay focused in the moment – focus on your body and mind. First/last thing everyday, do these activities with mindfulness – personal hygiene, exercise, gratitude/prayer, set positive realistic intentions for the day, set intention to act, prepare, eat/pack fresh healthy food.

Then start your materialistic business end of your day. Learn to breathe and keep your mind calm and present throughout the day. Watch/catch yourself if your mind runs wild with background threads – try and disable background jobs in your mind for a few weeks.

If you have a spouse/partner, discuss these goals with them and ask for their cooperation while you are trying to change your habits. Have realistic expectations, and be generous towards others.

Coming to materialistic business hours of your day, focus on problem-solving and living in reality.

Work through your own personal Maslov's hierarchy of needs. Be strategic, be realistic, and try to build a reasonable position of confidence. Then, launch yourself further from there. Don't overextend yourself.

All the best!

I appreciate how you phrased this - I struggle most with 'mundane, daily, repetitive tasks.' Approaching them with intentionality and presence of mind seems good, if not difficult.

Turn brain off. Style mundanity like decor.

Can you please elaborate on this?
