Have you ever thought about driving in silence? It may sound weird at first, but trust me, it's worth giving it a try.
When I'm quiet in my car, no music or talk radio, I'm able to clear my mind and be more mindful. I think about the day that passed, or get ready for the day ahead, or even create solutions for marketing challenges I'm faced with. It's a great way to increase the flow of ideas and creativity.
I also appreciate the journey more. When there's no music or conversation to distract me, I can fully immerse myself in the scenery and take in all the sights and sounds that I pass through. Especially during spring when every plant is starting to burst into view.
I enjoy driving and love the sounds of my car. I may even catch any strange noises or warning signals that would indicate a problem or just revel in the hum of a finely tuned automobile.
So, the next time you're in your car, give it a try. It may seem strange at first, but it could be just what you need :-)
