Road Rage-Nip It In The Bud With An Amazing (You Should Do It All The Time) Technique To Avert Rage

Road Rage, a term that William James, the father of modern psychology, had not even heard of can still be treated by something the psychologist posed many decades ago.

His inquiring mind chose this question, which when answered and acted upon, will begin to correct your road rage problem and maybe all of your rage issues. The question was and still is, "What comes first, a smile or feeling happy?"

Test it yourself. You have nothing to lose and virtually everything to gain.

You're driving home from work; you're feeling like a zombie, neutral, numb, nervous, or even a little unhapy. Put the question to the test. Put a smile on your face, let your muscles release the tension in your face, breathe, and smile again.

Hmmmmmmm, that feels good, you may think.

It does feel good; it feels good because smiling releases your own endorphins, raising your mood, and definitely enhancing your looks.

Your amazing smile cannot only make you feel better, but, should the circumstance arise, it can let another driver know that you understand his situation and do not mind if he is cuttin into your lane. As a matter of fact, you will both feel better. It can prevent a lot of unnecessary internal raging on both sides. It may even make you feel generous and courteous.

Smiling release the tension, stimulates feeling similar to love, puts a twinkle in your eye, and makes driving much more pleasant.

When you're driving in that bland or unhappy or over-pressured mood, just put that smile on your face, breathe, and let the happiness evolve.

What did William James (and you, too) learn from his insightful question? He learned that feeling happy causes you to smile and smiling causes you to feel happy. It is a circle: feel happy, smile; smile, feel happy.

This is such a simple remedy that it is hard to believe that it can make such a major change.

It can nip road rage in the bud.

It can make the other people in your life happy to see and be with you.

It can enhance you quality of life in a heartbeat.

Happy is about as opposite from road rage as you can get, and you can make that change every time in just moments.

You own the technique now. You can rescue yourself when you are feeling miserable, when you notice that you are starting to get angry while driving, when you catc yourself letting little things annoy you, when you're building up to blow up.

You can use it when you're at work, at home, with people you love, with people you don't even like.

Before you allow yourself to be annoyed or inconsiderate, remind yourself that you can change the way you feel, then smile.

After you've practiced a few times, you may even hear yourself saying, "Why do I always feel so happy."

Because you have the Amazing Technique! SMILE!
