Road Rage, Traffic Stress and Giving the Finger: Controlling WHAT it Does to Your Body


Listen Later

Traffic tests us like few other things can. I was tested today and I FULLY failed, and my rage got the better of me. SO why not share it with the world! 

The thing is, we all lose our tempers now and again. But if you sit in traffic a lot, or are highly reactive whenever you DO sit in traffic - that can start to take a real toll on the body. 

So in today's episode, in addition to sharing what happened to me on the road a few hours ago, we're going to talk about some strategies we can use when we're stuck in traffic so that it doesn't send our cortisol flying. 

Today we're covering:

  • my fuming traffic anger that showed it's face today
  • why getting angry in traffic screws us over twice
  • how traffic can make your mind stronger in your normal day-to-day
  • four strategies to use to make traffic tolerable
  • today's feelgood thing: cancelled plans 

The Key Moments in this Episode are:

00:02:00 - patience 

00:04:20 - traffic rage storytime

00:010:00 -the factor that affects your body sitting in traffic 

00:12:50- snack of choice to keep in the glove compartment
