Driving to work today I got caught up in a lot of stop go traffic. I commute an hour each way to work. And I'll bet there are a lot of yoga readers out there that do the same. As each mile passed my tension levels built. I understand why some people just crack under stress and road rage builds up to extreme levels to where they do something stupid like act out in anger. Well, we all know what happens to you when you get caught doing that. So how do you control your road rage?
There are a thousand different ways, but this is a great time to practice breathing techniques and bust out your yoga skills. Come to peace with your frustrated self and make your environment a better place for everyone. When in doubt - Yoga out! (<---Nice ) I've inserted some video in the bottom of this Awesome Read...
Get off your Smart Phone
This is not the time to be checking your email on your phone or calling the office. No texting and telling everyone how pissed you are because you are sitting in traffic. Just relax and do some yoga. You'll be a better person when you do show up to work and you will stay happier through the day.
Breathing
Long slow deep breaths. Inhale through your mouth and exhale through your nose. Do this nice and slow. Remember you are bringing in new fresh oxygen for your brain to use. This is going to calm your angry mind and relax your tense body!
Neck Pain
When your stopped, NOT while driving (don't want you to take your eyes off the road) Roll your head around. Slowly!!! Roll your head and when you find that tight spot, stop and keep your neck position there. Don't forget to keep breathing and let that tension clear through your deep breaths.
Back Pain
Put your hands behind your head. Oh ya don't do this while driving, make sure you are still in the traffic jam. Take a deep breath. When you exhale, bend your body over your thighs or the steering steering wheel depending on how tall you are. Do the stretch over again but this time cross your arms over your chest and feel the stretch in your lower back.
Don't be bothered by people staring at you. Trust me, they are weird too. And they probably don't feel as good as you do when you do a little yoga in the car.
