Feeling under pressure? It is hard not to given our world today
Cars can relieve pressure.
Using your hobby, your passion, your interest in cars, new or old, can be a great stress reducer. Spending time in the garage, working on your vehicle provides focus and focus limited external noise.
Our brains can only successfully keep a short list of problems at the same time. By focusing on the fun a car project brings to your mind, all the details, will reduce stress and pressure.
Planning ahead helps you face challenges inside the garage and outside the garage too.
Playing with your vehicle provides you with optimism, hope, and positivity. Go for a drive and listen to some music that makes you smile or brings back wonderful memories. Just go drive.
Physical care of your body is key in reducing stress. Playing in the garage will help you be more calm and balanced.
Asking for help is key. Whether in life or under the hood. Don’t be afraid to reach out.
Putting a pause on the world’s troubles and escaping to the garage will let you take a breath and clear your mind.
Patience and gratitude bring a sense of calm and confidence as well.
Here’s to your good health and safety!
Thanks Mark for this timely reminder. I started exchanging a “gratitude list” with a friend and that is helpful.
I don’t know Mark, I have had plenty of stressful days working on my classic cars in the garage LOL! Seriously very well put. Whether you are problem solving under the hood or polishing up a piece of trim or talking with another car guy ( or gal) the destraction from all that is crazy in the world today is a mental relief and much needed anymore.
