Many of you saw my recent post on Road Rage<\/a>. The thought was that by voluntarily submitting my self to things that normally made me angry I would be able to avoid the stress associated with driving.<\/p>\n

\nI’m happy to say that it was a complete success.<\/p>\n

\nLess Stress<\/b>:
\nDuring my 15 day trial period I only had a single instance of road rage that mostly caused by external stresses. Compare that before when I had daily, even hourly road rage. I was so mad about driving I’d be road raging while sitting at my desk at work.<\/p>\n

\nNow that the 15 day trial is over I’ve let the rules go but the lessons and principles learned remain the same. It helped get a better attitude about driving and traffic in general.<\/p>\n

The most amazing thing about it is that not only do I stress a lot less while driving but I have more patience in other areas of my life. I don’t know if it’s a philosophy thing or what but I’m a lot more relaxed now than I was last month.<\/p>\n

\nReadjusting<\/b>:
\nSince I’ve released my self from the rules I’m trying to find a happy medium between the two extremes of driving, that is “driving super-aggressive, crazy fast” and “going with the flow”. My new style tends to lean more towards the latter than the former.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
