 The exercises below may seem very prescriptive, describing exactly what to do at each step but do not approach them that way.  These are just examples showing what someone might experience, and your experience will not follow the steps given.  Instead, you will have to observe your own experience and then go back and reread the exercises to understand the objective.  And then try again.

-This is an example of a fairly complex task, but it involves repeating certain steps over and over, which is a chance to practice without judgement.  If you find that you weren't able to stay mindful while taking one plate out, maybe you can for the next plate!  Also, be sure to adapt these steps to how you personally like to empty the dishwasher, this might not be the way you do it.
+{{Emptying the Dishwasher}}
-* Open the dishwasher and look at the dishes
-* Become as mindful as you know how
-* Without trying to choose, allow yourself to pick up one dish
-* Appreciate that you had no judgement or decision in which dish was picked up
-* Appreciate the number of complicated micromovements necessary to pick up a dish
-* Again, without any decision making, notice yourself walking to the cupboard
-* Appreciate that walking also takes no conscious decisions, even though there are many parts that come together to make walking possible
-* Continue on in this fashion until you find yourself back at the dishwasher, and appreciate the mindful nature of what you're doing
-* Keep practicing being more and more mindful each time you put away a dish, you shouldn't need any thoughts or impulses whatsoever
-* Once you are done take a moment to review the steps listed in The Pattern above and appreciate what just happened
