I talked about my road rage last night in chat. It's really been irking me 'cause I act like such an idiot. It was stressed to me how dangerous it is to drive as such and I felt really awful about it. I don't want to hurt someone accidently from my road rage-it's as bad as drinking and driving and then apologizing. Apology can not be accepted-I wouldn't have the right to expect one. So, I got really determined about this whole curbing my road rage thing.
Everyone talks about taking deep breaths-So, I got an idea to do Yoga breathing exercises while I'm driving. I popped a Yoga tape in my car and did deep breathing while driving- I kept having to loosen my hands from the steering wheel because they held on to the wheel so tightly (I've never noticed that before.) I would shake out the anxiety from them and then hold the wheel more gently. Between shaking out the tight muscles and breathing while focusing on the road-I was in was in my own kind of meditation and nothing bothered me-NOTHING! I didn't even mind the red lights. I even let people go ahead of me and I was calm throughout all of my driving today.
It's only my first day but it was leaps and bounds an improvement. Keep your fingers crossed. I may have found the thing that'll keep my road rage at bay. I'll keep you posted.
