Combining work with meditation

. .

There are several of transforming your daily experiences into a Jedi or spiritual practice. First consider your occupation; if it harms or exploits other living beings then it is detestable from a Jedi point of view. If your occupation is acceptable from a Jedi/spiritual point of view, then the second step is to integrate some form of meditation or application of the Jedi arts into your day. Ask yourself if you’re ‘present now’ when you’re working or is your focus elsewhere? Train your-self to focus on the here and now and to be mindful of what you’re doing without letting your thoughts wander off. Just like when you meditate and may focus on your breath so to when you work, focus your mind on the task at hand. Take note when your mind wonders off and refocus it.

At a deeper level does your work make you happy? All you need really is the money to support your-self and whoever may be dependent on you, does any of the extra money you may earn in your occupation to buy luxury goods make you happy, do these objects make you happy?  If not, you would simply be happier simplifying things and learning to be content with what you have. Plus remember this; you are only self-sufficient when you do not deprive others of what they need.
