In this episode of the Miracle Commute podcast, host Scott Winterroth discusses the relevance of practicing mindfulness during daily commutes to reduce stress and start the day with focus and positivity. As per his recommendations, commuters can incorporate mindfulness into their driving routine by focusing on breath work, practicing gratitude, preparing ahead, leaving early, disconnecting from digital distractions, being present, listening mindfully, and setting positive intentions for the day. The ultimate goal of these mindful practices is to transform a potentially stressful commute into a positive and reflective point of the day that frames the entire workday in a favorable light.
