Things To Do While Stuck in Traffic

3/6/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Being stuck in traffic may be the worst thing that could happen to you on a busy day. However, you can’t really do much about it. Thus, you need to make use of your traffic time more productively. Do not give yourself a reason to feel bad but rather make use of it as time away from stress. In fact, you can use traffic time as a time to improve yourself and a time to reflect on things that you have no freedom to do at the office.
​Use Music Therapy.
You can turn on the music and listen to it or sing with it. However, if nothing plays well, patiently turn off the radio and sing to the music in your head. This is not a time to stress yourself out on the music but a time to relax and recall the lyrics that you once memorized in case you have not sung anything for a long time. However, if you’re not into music, you can make a speech instead or pretend that you are talking to somebody about something interesting. 

Read a Book. 
We are talking about reading an actual book here. A book is different from Facebook or blog post. Make sure that you bring an actual book with you or an e-book whose pages you can flip through for a short time while waiting for traffic to move. With Google, you have no excuse not to read anything substantial. You may go for a Tolstoy novel but you can read any instructional material like 10 Reasons You Should Start a Business or 10 Ways to Deal With Bad Co-Workers. 

Clean Out Your Car.
Getting stuck in traffic is sometimes the best time for you to pick up all that trash lying around if you are just too busy to get them out of your car early in the morning. Check out those that you can still recycle as well as those that should be in their proper place. In fact, you can have a good sense of accomplishment if you do this. You can also gain peace of mind with it.  

Evaluate Yourself.
This is equivalent to dwelling on your personal failures and shortcomings. No, you should not feel bad doing this. You have to consider your weaknesses at some point. That is just human. Thus, if you cannot do this at home or at work, then why don’t you use courage to face the truth while you are stuck in traffic. Most importantly, tell yourself that you will do better today or tomorrow.

Meditate.
This is not about taking a nap or falling into deep meditation that you have basically fallen asleep in traffic. That is really dangerous. However, you can productively use traffic time to relax and empty your mind of everything. See this moment as getting time off your emails and phone calls. Just make sure that you do not do it up to a point where angry car horns will drag you back to reality.

Some Final Words
The most important thing that you should remember when you are stuck in traffic is that you are in your car. You should appreciate that. It must have been quite a while since you last gave your car and yourself that much time and attention. If you want to get the best protection for your car, you should get yourself car insurance. This can also help you overcome any problems in case they come up.
