How to sit in your car without strain. My top five tips to driving with less effort
Let’s face it driving can be stressful.
Busy roads, road works, traffic queues, other drivers and where I live, tractors who pull out on you and force you to drive very, very slowly down narrow country lanes where overtaking is impossible.
And if that weren’t enough, we’re also having to deal with the ever-present threat of accident and mayhem if we miss something or don’t react quickly enough. It can all very easily lead to the fear response, shortened neck, head thrown back, tension in shoulders and back and so on.
In short, driving can by its routine nature, make us zone out, but leave us physically stressed. And how likely is that to lead to wonderful, poised posture?
So in this post, I’ll share my top five tips on how to become more aware of what you’re physically doing when you drive so that you can use your car with less physical and mental strain.
Enhance your gratitude for your body visualisation
At times, we can berate our body for not living up to our standards of perfection, for not being more how we would like it to be. We hurl judgment and resentment and forget how miraculous our bodies are even when we sometimes feel they let us down.
Join me on this eight-minute, relaxing journey to bring our attention to each part of the body, feeling gratitude for the incredible, miraculous processes and innate wisdom of our body that allow us to live in this incredible world.
Embrace the joy and fun in life and follow what you love
Pleasure and fun. Joy and laughter.

When was the last time you could hardly stand for laughing, when the joy of a shared joke left you gasping for breath?
In this post, I’ll share my experiences of creating more time for fun in my life and why it’s been such a life-enhancing experience.
