It has proved to be a real stress buster for me, I feel my negative energies disappearing when i drive. At times when I feel low i go out for a long drive all alone, with a soft music playing in da background. By the time i come back home I am all revitalized. Does it help you too? Do you think that driving a car can rejuvenate you?

I love to drive and I do use road trips for therapy. I love to go out on long drives, go to new places and watch the scenery. That's why I started working as a merchandiser and mystery shopper. This kind of work is done all over and you have to drive to all the different locations to do the job. So in effect I am getting paid for doing what I love.

Yes, I have this to be true. But if I am uptight then I like to drive alone with music playing or a gospel tape or some kind of religious music playing. Then I am praying at the same time and this is good for me. We all need to be alone sometimes to re energize. Blessings bodhisatya!

driving in a huge stress buster for me! It's very relaxing and you can go wherever you want but than again the cost of gas can sometimes be stressful in itself so its probably good not to go to far nowadays!

Hi, it depends when and where I'm driving. If it's the daily journey to-and-fro work, then it's a stress contributor. However, if I'm driving out of town, where it's highways and little traffic, then it's really relaxing!

Yup, it could be stressful if you are anxious about something, but peculiarly i love to drive no matter what kind of situation I am in! Maybe I kind of feel that I am the one who is controlling the things around hahahaa.. Thank you for the response..tc. Bodhi
