Emotional Freedom Technique tapping for commuter stress
Who doesn’t feel stressed out from their commute? With heightened mental activity required to make instant decisions on the road also comes stress. The stress happens not only because of other drivers but also from within. Whenever you feel vexed at other drivers, stress levels rise. They also rise when you feel stupid for taking a hasty, dangerous decision or engage in road rage.
Being stuck inside a few square feet of metal and being bombarded with stressful thoughts from all sides is hardly conducive to maintaining a peaceful state of mind. Part of the stress is due to the fear response being triggered every time you encounter something unpredictable on the road.
An aggressive driver cut you off suddenly, or if you just missed hitting a truck while changing lanes. This can all lead to a build up of stress.
Even if you are an expert driver, every single day it is a new commute. So all the fears acquired from traffic accident news reports get reloaded into the brains every time you get out on the road.
Surveys and reports have shown that long commutes make people more lonely, stressful and unhappy. We often take the stress of the drive into our next domain, be it home or work. So stress doesn’t end with the commute.
How about we try Emotional Freedom Technique tapping to turn a stressful ride into something positive?
Here’s a tapping script addressing road rage specifically that you may find useful as well.
EFT tapping set up
Karate chop
Even though a seemingly normal activity like my driving commute stresses me out, I give myself full marks for acknowledging how I feel about this.
Even though this stressful commute feels forced upon me, I’m open to discovering cool ways to make my commute easy, maybe even pleasant.
Even though I feel stuck inside my vehicle and there’s nothing I can do except wade my way through traffic, I’m wondering if I could find meaning in this mindless commute anyway.
Even though I hate that my commute takes away precious time from my day, and I reach my destination tired and irked, I wish I could make the best out of my driving time and arrive at my destination refreshed and relaxed.
