Urgency Addiction
Most of us, myself included, dread commuting in today's traffic environment, especially in regions like my own Washington, DC, which has the third-worst highway congestion in the nation. Buddha on the Road [washingtonpost.com] Perhaps we can all learn to chill out. We've done it in our lives in general, so maybe de-stressing drive time is a good idea.
A common negative message is that time spent commuting is time wasted. "Our society suffers from 'urgency addiction,' " Denise Roy, a marriage and family therapist in Santa Clara, Calif., says. "The commute can be a time to recover from that, to rest your mind, to learn something new or to slip into a more relaxed way of living."
Well, I don't know if I would go that far!!
