We live in such a wonderful spot in the world! Why do we carry such anxiety and stress on our shoulders? I've been thinking about this (recovering from a health/life scare) and trying to find ways to make my own life a bit more stress-free/less anxiety. We already take on far too much, and it's really NOT healthy for us. We are in control of our own lives (to a degree), and I've come to realize that some anxiety related activities are habit related.
One of the easiest ways to reduce a lot of anxiety in one's life is related to driving habits: people are ALL in a hurry, driving faster than the speed limit, stressing about getting somewhere, on time, etc. Our habit has us always in a hurry, angry at the slow-poke in front of us, yelling at a-holes who don't use their signals, etc.
I have found a simple solution: I leave about 10 minutes early...I take my time (drive the speed limit), and enjoy what nature and life has around me. I discover things I've never seen before, and if I do get somewhere a bit early, I have my book to read.
I'm also saving on gas by not driving fast/faster, accelerating from a stop slower, etc., and am in a much better mood. https://www.cashcowcouple.com/hypermiling/
It is an easy habit to change - just leave a little earlier, enjoy your surroundings, be patient with other drivers - you get there when you get there.
