Nice post! I love your example of embracing washing the dishes mindfully. Thich Nhat Hanh says that we should be "washing the dishes to wash the dishes". It's only unpleasant when we are washing the dishes so that we can do something else.
But when we wash the dishes mindfully, closely paying attention to the sensations and sounds, it can be an enjoyable experience. It's a good example of how changing your mindset can alleviate suffering.
I'm glad that you liked my first post, thanks :)
