Day 12

Today I got stuck in rush hour traffic on the way to see my Grandparents in Novi. I had had a good day in school and nothing too stressful had happened so I was in a good mood when I started out. However, when I encountered all the horrible traffic my mood immediately changed. I could feel the stress enter my body and I began to tense up. After a few minutes of stress and aggravation I realized that instead of getting angry I should meditate. So, keeping my eyes open, I focused on my breathing and I began to calm down. Even though the traffic continued to get worse and I was running late I remained calm and refused to get stressed.
