Commuting…it is a word that many people dread. Yet it is a reality for most working people, no matter what part of the country you live in. Most people think of commuting problems in big cities like Chicago or Los Angeles, but it doesn’t matter where you live, you may still find commuting to be your least favorite part of the day.
You can change your attitude when it comes to commuting. It can start with your commute to work tomorrow and it is easy. Think positively about the experience and don’t become distracted. Remember, you can make commuting positive or negative – no one else can make that choice for you.
The questions arise, can happiness be achieved while commuting? Can commuting actually become pleasant? Let us see.
Why is traffic so unpleasant? One reason is that it’s a painful ritual we never get used to – the flow of traffic is naturally unpredictable. As a result, we don’t adjust to the misery of rush hour. Ironically, if traffic is always bad, and not just usually bad, it would be easier to deal with. So the commutes that really kill us are those rare days when the highways are clear. Another way to look at commuting is as an opportunity to be with yourself, your thoughts and the present moment. A way to reframe the annoyance of traffic would be to see it as a moving meditation while paying attention to your body and the sights and sounds around you as you travel from A to B. This simple new awareness may offer you a completely different perspective and actually put a smile on your face. May your next commute be a more pleasant experience!
