Laugh
and Relax in Traffic
We all know that traffic can make you
tense and ruin your mood. Steve Rizzo,
a comedian and motivational speaker,
suggests that you make yourself laugh
while you sit in traffic as a way to
improve your entire day. He makes himself
laugh by imitating the Cowardly Lion
from the Wizard of Oz and makes faces
at himself or at other drivers. You can
also take the “Lion” theme
a little further with a Lion yoga pose.
(Only do this if you are stopped in traffic
or at a traffic light!) The idea is to
create extreme tension for a few seconds
and then let the muscles relax. Make
your face muscles tense by opening your
mouth wide and sticking out your tongue
as far as it will go. At the same time,
let your eyes focus on the point of your
nose so they are crossed. Then lift your
head to stretch your neck to its maximum
length. Spread your fingers and stretch
them as far as possible. Hold the pose
for five to ten seconds and then let
it completely relax. Do this exercise
several times in a row or throughout
your commute if you are stopped several
times. You will arrive at your destination
with less tension in your face and hands
and may create a few chuckles for yourself
and your fellow motorists!
Slow
Down to Show You Care
From The Other
90% by Robert K. Cooper
1.
Breathe before you speak.
2. Be clear about time.
• Don’t use negative presuppositions like “only.” Instead
say, “I have two minutes to spend with you right now — if we need more time, we’ll schedule it.”
3.
When possible, sit down, don’t stand.
• In many environments, the brain is programmed to perceive standing
conversation as less genuine than seated talk.
