Do you go into autopilot the moment you step outside your door? Do you find yourself running people off the road or sidewalk in order to get from point A to point B?

This week I challenge you to reconsider your daily commute. Here are a few ways to boost your awareness and make the commute a daily ritual rather than part of the daily grind:

Exude Gratitude Take a moment to express gratitude for everything good in your life. Focusing on the positive opens the door to more positive outcomes.

Compliment Yourself Think of something you did well in the past 12 hours and congratulate yourself for a job well done. It can be as simple as the way you made your lunch or the fact you remembered something important.

Send blessings Studies have shown the positive affects of prayer. Send blessings and good intentions to loved ones and people you work with.

Sit up straight and tall Since mind, body and spirit are all connected, your good posture will help improve your mood and lift your spirits.

Breathe Inhale with attention on your feet and exhale with attention on your head. Conscious breathing for just one minute increases energy and boosts your immune system.

Slow Down Driving/walking/biking slower allows you to notice the beauty and abundance around you. Take your time and see more of your surroundings like beautiful birds, a cool breeze or a smiling face.

Listen to music. Enjoy some good tunes. Sound (and vibration) has the power to heal. Let your body soak it up, sing out loud or bounce to the beat.
