Hey everyone,

I’m back!! yay! LOL Sorry about my disappearance, I’ve been taking a little bit of time t0 collect my thoughts and work on “A is for Alexia” so the next couple of chapters will be uploaded soon.

Now… On to… AVOIDING ROAD RAGE.

*sigh and stands up slowly* “My name is Ms. Perspective, and I have a slight problem with road rage.”  In today’s driving world filled with: speed demons, Ms/Mr. I’m-king/queen-of-the-road, rear bumper huggers, cell phone conversationalists, Last Minute Cut Off-ers, and confused-and-lost-or-slow-reacting drivers,  WHO DOESN’T have a case of road rage from time to time?

I know that I have it at least once a week.  Driving Chicago’s Dan Ryan and the Stevenson drives more than just the car, it DRIVES ME nuts!!! Now I thought about talking on how to avoid accidents, but I thought that road rage might be a better topic.

Here are my TOP 3 tips on how to avoid having a case of road rage:

3- Be aware of your surroundings. Many times when we have road rage, it’s because there’s a close-call (almost having an accident).  If we are aware of the other drivers, we can react accordingly, even if it means giving a little more space around our car.

2. Schedule your car runs appropriately.  Another popular way we get roadrage is when we are stuck in beep-and-creep traffic.  Drivers become impatient and listless, even bloodpressure tends to rise.  If you schedule your driving to avoid these known “high traffic” times, you are significantly lower your chances of getting roadrage.

1. Give yourself TIME and PATIENCE.  Leave the house at least 15min early; if you have extra time so you are not in a hurry to get to your destination, you give yourself the opportunity to have patience with drivers who are “running late and driving aggressively”.

But above everything else, be patient with yourself! Learning to control your impulses/impulsive anger is something that comes with time and practice!

if you can add any other pointers, leave a comment!! Good luck!

~with that, I’m Gone~
