"Blissful Ordinariness"

When you hear the term "blissful ordinariness" what do you think of?

In the field of occupational therapy, we focus holistically on our clients occupations and what they hold value and meaning too. As occupational therapists, we want to make sure our client achieves their goals to get back to living in their "blissful ordinariness." I feel that this term focuses on our tasks we do on a day-to-day basis. We don't think about how much those mundane tasks mean to us until we get injured and lose the ability to do some of those ordinary tasks. I have been injured a few times and it may not have been major, but I realized how much I relied on that injured area while doing certain activities.
Those daily tasks that were so easy, became more of a challenge. It really makes you see the importance and values behind them.

Occupational therapists strive towards helping the client return to their "blissful ordinariness." In the process we like to uphold the significance of these ordinary tasks, along with our client. Thus, once the task has been accomplished, the client can return to their "blissful ordinariness."

What use to be called "mundane tasks" now holds a greater meaning and perspective for that client.
