In today's world, driving is a major cause of stress.
Many ofus spend countless hours stuck in traffic jams.

And, at times,it might seem as if drivers are less courteous than they've everbeen.

The financial stress involved in keeping a car on the road canseem tremendous.

Or you might have to find innovative ways to keepchildren occupied during long commutes.
Keeping childrenwell-fed in the car can also be quite stressful.
In desperation,you might pull into a drive-thru, where the wait seemsintolerable.

Or you might like to listen to a CD ofnature sounds as you are trying to negotiate your way throughtraffic.
If you don't have a CD player, cassette tapes areanother possibility.

You can even borrow tapes and CDsfrom your local library.
You'll find that you're better able tohandle the stress of driving with some pleasant sounds emanatingfrom your car stereo.
Another thing you might consider is changing your route.
If youinevitably end up in traffic jams on the freeway, consider usingresidential streets instead.
While you might find that yourcommute time is longer, you might also discover that your stressis reduced considerably when your route is changed.
