Traveling and Stress
by Andrew John
Traveling IS stressful. We may sometimes feel bored and on other occasions excited, but we are always at least a bit stressed. On many occasions such stress may reach dangerous levels that can seriously affect our behavior and health condition. If you are to defend against it, you have to learn a few tricks first.
First, lets take a look at your daily travels from home to work and return. Remember that you have to have some spare time in reserve when you leave for work. Mere fifteen minutes can reduce your stress level by half or more. Also, getting up a bit earlier and avoid eating on a go can make you feel much more relaxed while traveling to work. Another thing you may consider is turning your radio on and listen to some soft music.
Traveling with children can easily become extremely stressful for their parent. Kids are easily bored and can change even a relatively short drive into a nightmare. Also, they will often ask you to stop even in the middle of nowhere because they must go for a walk or take a pee. Not to mention stopping at every gas station for snacks. What should you do with that? It's simple: do not try to force anything. Best just prepare the travel in a way that makes children requests impossible or inapplicable. How? For example, travel during nights when the children fall asleep. Choose the shortest routes with minimal numbers of attractions. Make sure that children have something to do during the trip - other than being bored or fighting between each other.
Remember also that your stress level relies partially on your own reactions and behaviors. Whatever happens, be calm and patient. Do not get angry or shout outside a car window even if you have to wait for hours to cross a bridge or board a ferry. Listen to music, talk and relax - waiting can be a relaxing experience even if you're going to work (provided of course that you have left home a bit earlier). If you neglect this, you will only additionally fuel your anger.
