How to avoid stress caused by heavy traffic?

Tweet

I lived in a place where traffic is heavy. In fact,every morning is rush hour, its so stressful. Aside from waking up at dawn, I have to go through an estimated one hour traffic on my way to work. It's a wonder I'm not late. However, late or not, it seems like each morning I'm on an obstacle race, the prize is of course, not to be late at work. Do you avoid traffic without getting stressed out?
