SUMMARY POINTS
You get into your car. You sit there for a moment, contemplating how much you really need this job.
Is it worth this insane commute every day?
It would be so easy to just turn off the car, walk back into the house, crawl into bed and forget that today even existed.
However, there is a small amount of hope in the back of your mind that today will go smoothly, considering the first 5 minutes did.
As you pull into your favorite Starbucks, you were momentarily lost in thought about those delicious flavors and you didn’t see the insane lineup of cars at the drive-thru ahead.
And in the split second you consider backing out, you’ve been boxed in.
Fuck.
You actually contemplate pulling an Austin Powers three (hundred) point turn to bail out of the car line.

But, it’s way too late, so you endure the agonizing wait.
And it just so happens to be your luck that every Dick, Jane, and Harry in front of you is ordering something stupid like a triple-venti, half-sweet, non-fat, soy, no-sugar-added, caramel macchiato, extra hot, or some shit like that.
After a strenuous 15 minutes of planning everyone’s death and trying not to rip the steering wheel off of the car, you finally get your latte and are back on the road.
Now, you only have a half an hour to get to work and traffic is moving slower than a geriatric slug. Seriously, there are moments when walking is actually faster - no joke.
The stress is building - you can feel it.
There has to be a better way. You can’t go on like this for much longer.
You finally get to work late, stressed, and ready to chew off the next person's head that talks to you.
And the drive home is no different.
In fact, adding in the grocery shopping that needs to be done, kids that need to be picked up, and stop at the gas station for the 2nd time this week, really manages to throw you off the edge.
It’s a 10 item maximum in the express checkout lane, does no one read anymore?! And God help her if she even thinks about paying with a check. Add coupons on top of that and it’s her death wish.
We’ve been there! We live it...every...single...day. And we truly feel you.
This is why we want to share the ways that we deal with the daily commuting drive.
These ideas will not only make your commute enjoyable but also help you feel more relaxed before you even set a foot into the door.

Reframe Your Mind: Commuting Is The ‘Me-Time’ You’ve Been Yearning For

Wouldn’t it be great if we could be just as excited as dogs about getting in the car and going somewhere?
Do you ever find yourself wishing you had more hours in the day for yourself?
Some time to relax or catch up on things you like?
Well, look no further.
You have this amazing ability to turn this awful commute into something other people would kill for.
Yes, we’re serious, there are actually people out there who would love some commute time. Crazy right?
Not really when you look at it this way.
There are a million deadlines at work. There is cleaning that needs to be done at home. The kids need some attention and lunches need to be made.
All these things don’t matter when you’re behind the wheel and commuting.
You can’t make lunches while you’re driving. You can’t do any data entry or send any emails. And you definitely can’t entertain your kids when they aren’t with you.
So why stress about that?
This is your forced bonus time!
This is when you finally get to be by yourself without anyone asking anything of you.
It’s your personal time - of solitude, of rocking out, of laughing, of wonderment, etc. It’s your buffer zone between home and work.
So, let’s get started.

Pre-Set Your Morning Routine To Make It Easier

Weekday mornings can be an absolute circus act. The best way to minimize this madness is to get as many of your family’s morning activities pre-planned and ready-to-go the night before.
Being organized will allow for a calm and stressless start to your morning.
The key here is to develop an evening routine that meshes with your family. Find the process that works best you. And when you do, you’ll find that it almost becomes second nature.
Here are some of the easier things that you should be doing the night before to save yourself time and frustration the following morning:

Here are some of the easier things that you should be doing the night before to save yourself time and frustration the following morning:
Of course, it never goes perfectly every time. Timmy doesn’t want to wear what he picked out last night. Sara doesn’t want Tasty O’s cereal for breakfast - again.
Instead of asking Sara what she wants for breakfast, only give her the choice of two items. That way you each get some amount of control of the situation.
With enough repetition, you’ll get into a groove that’s workable.
When you do a bit of prep, it makes a huge difference in the way your day starts. If you can really optimize things in the morning, you have a chance to do this…
Leave For Work 15 Minutes Earlier than usual.
We understand there is already not nearly enough hours in the day. So how are you supposed to find an extra 15 minutes?
Luckily, with the aforementioned pre-planning, you’ll be finding minutes left, right, and center.
Trick your brain into thinking you start work 15 minutes earlier, or set the clocks in your house 15 minutes ahead without telling anyone.
These little tricks will help you get out of the house sooner and having this extra 15 minutes will help with all those unplanned circumstances.

4. Listen To A Newer Take On News

Is it just us or does mainstream news media always focus on negative things?
Are you tired of the same old news sources?
Do you feel like you want nothing to do with the news, yet everyone at the office is always up to date on the latest dirt on politicians and celebrities?
This may not be your niche at home, but you can do a quick skim to get you quickly caught up and prepared for the next water-cooler session.
Here are a few wonderful outlets that combine a sense of humor to everyday news so that it’s a bit more enjoyable. Search for their podcast on your favorite music streaming app.
theSkimm
This is an especially great app for those of us who have shorter attention spans. Most of the podcasts are about 30 minutes long, some are shorter while others are a bit longer, but all of them are fantastic bite-sized portions of cool and interesting stuff.
That's why we love this app, they break it down for you nice and easy and in a totally understandable, plain English kinda way.
Written much like listicle, it uses titles like ‘the story’, ‘people involved’, ‘what happened’, ‘now what’, and an even shorter final sentence for those who want to skim theSkimm.
Philip Defranco
This YouTube broadcaster takes the week that just passed and compiles it into a half hour vlog for you.
The one thing we adore about Philip Defranco is that he opens it up to a conversation, asking the opinion of his viewers what they think.
He touches on everything from news to movies to video games and more. With great conversation, hard-hitting topics and a secret link of the day, you’re sure to find something that you are interested in every episode.
The Daily Show
You’ve probably already heard or even seen some of the Daily Show as it has been around since 1996.
This late-night talk show uses satire to ensure you get a real look at all the trending events in pop culture, politics, news and sports.
Plus, there isn’t so much bias toward any one group. They just make fun of everyone and everything.
John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight
This HBO late-night talk and news satire classic is hilarious.
John Oliver is such a unique individual and the way he brings you the news is unparalleled. Each show is only half hour long, but you’ll be begging for more.

5. Do In-Car “External Awareness” Meditations

If you are driving, we definitely don’t recommend going into a traditional meditation, however, did you know you can practice a form of meditation called external awareness meditation?
This is where you deliberately focus on everything around you. Really take in everything in your surroundings, not only will this make you a better driver, but it will also calm you.
1. Start by sitting in your car, breathing and enjoying the silence for a few minutes. This will allow you to mentally “wipe the slate clean”.
2. Start taking notice of how your body feels and let each area relax one by one. What muscles in your body are tense? Is your jaw clenched?
3. Start your drive and keep your vehicle at the speed limit, move to the slow lane if necessary.
4. Take in your surroundings and become acutely aware of other drivers. For example, if you see someone coming up to merge on to the highway, slow down and give them space.
5. As drivers pass you and/or cut you off, respond (not react) neutrally. See it like a random bird flying by or a leaf being blown across the walkway. Don't take it personally.
6. Use stop lights and stop-n-go traffic as a chance to do 5-10 second breathing exercises.
7. When you reach your destination, park the car, shut it off and take 3 deep breaths before you get out.
Incorporating external awareness meditation into your commute is a great way to redirect your brain’s focus to driving tasks and less on stressful stuff at work/home.

6. Have Feel-Good Gratitude Sessions

Being stuck in a car with yourself may seem like a good time to berate yourself for your failures and mistakes for the day.
But this is one of the worsts things you can do for your mood and overall well-being.
Take this time to be as selfish and self-loving as you want to be.
When you show yourself some love and gratitude, you will find your health and mood improving, making the other aspects of your life easier.
We constantly show gratitude to others yet we somehow forget ourselves. So, here’s an easy and great way to incorporate gratitude during your commute.
Every time you get in your car, take one minute...yes, just one measly minute...and say one thing out loud that you are really thankful for.
You have to say it out loud so that you hear yourself saying it.
Make sure to get creative, specific and as descriptive as possible. Ask yourself why you are grateful for these things and answer them out loud.

A lot of people see their commute as a dreadful soul-crushing task which sets the wrong tone in their heads and takes them down a miserable path.
But, not for you!
With these ideas, you’re taking a new approach and perspective on the daily drive. And with a small shift in your mindset every day, you’ll become one of the lucky few that actually looks forward to commuting.
So, whether you're weaving through traffic or staying in your lane, traffic won’t phase you one bit because you’re too busy laughing, enjoying yourself and relaxing in your car.
The next time you find yourself in that Starbucks line up, you will just see it as another one of those "me-time" opportunities.
And you may even start considering taking the long way home after work just to finish your new fave podcast episode.
In fact, we're downloading a few of our favorite podcasts right now for our evening drive home. We've got some Ted Talks, comedy and a saucy novel to finish up.
Isn’t it so great to have this commuting “buffer-time” designated just for you?
It’s your little uninterrupted slice of the day that separates your home life and work life.
Bet you don’t think we’re crazy anymore now, huh?
