A manual task can give us a great deal of satisfaction. Taking care of your garden, or finally painting that wall the colour you want makes you feel accomplished and brings happiness. Carpentry, likewise, is a good example of working with natural materials and making your own solution. If you have nowhere to store books, you could try building your own shelving. The sensory experience of buying the wood, measuring your space and making it how you want. The end result is not particularly important, as long as it isn’t going to collapse; even if it’s a bit rough, seeing the fruits of your labour will add to the uniqueness of your home and make it yours.

The benefits to the mind of painting a wall are clear to see. The end results look pristine and fresh, and fill us with satisfaction every time we stop to look at our handiwork. The repetitive nature of brush or roller strokes up and down the wall is meditative in its own way. We are forced to pay attention if we want an even wall coverage; care needs to be taken to avoid dripping the paint everywhere and we need to set aside everything else or we’ll find the brush dried up when we return from whatever distracted us. Leaving the phone or doorbell to ring, we dedicate this time to getting the job done.
