Living Kindfully

How I Recalibrate my Thoughts in my Car

Whenever I reach my destination, I would stay in the car for about five minutes. I would sit in the car and let my thoughts wonder. I sat there without my phone or music, only my thoughts. Sometimes I would figure out solutions to a problem, develop a new insight or remembering something important. The five minutes in the car is how I calibrate my thoughts. I cannot out think my problems, but I can let my thoughts be what it wants to be.

Depending on the location, we all have a role to play. In the office, I am the manager. At home, my role is a father and a husband. It is only in my car alone, I have no role to play. I can play myself and be myself. It allows me to take a pause before facing the world again.

If you find yourself feeling lost and wonder about life. Find a quiet place, let your mind tells you what you need to know. I am sure it has been a long time since you listened to yourself.
