Reply To: Driving in Paradise!

When I first started driving, I took things a bit too personal, and aggressively. If I got cut off, I honked, and got upset. If I saw someone doing something wrong, I got upset. I can go on forever with everything that made me an “emotional” driver.

But then one day I just learned to “let go.” To detach myself from the rest of the road. To be chilled, and relaxed, with of course STILL being alert and observant of the road around me.

That’s a big thing many drivers have to deal with. Not to take things so “personally.” If someone cuts you off, honking and screaming wont get you anywhere. If someone passes you up, so be it, you’re going the speed limit so there’s nothing to fuss about. If someone is flashing you, and tailgating, either pull over if you feel too much in danger, or just drive on your merry way and ignore the other persons rantings. If you feel yourself getting angry or heated, then start singing a silly tune in your head, and take some deep breathes.
