12 Ways to Sneak a Little Mindfulness Into Your Daily Routine

Commuting can often be one of the most stressful parts of your day, so it's easy to let negative emotions run rampant. You hate the transportation system, the guy next to you who used a strong deodorant and the bumpy long ride... it can be a real mood-ruiner.

Being mindful in this situation may seem impossible — how can you be calm in such a moment? Well, you don't have to force yourself to feel anything. Just be mindful of your environment and acknowledge all your emotions (good or bad) instead of analyzing them. Take a look around, and you'll notice how everyone is just like you.

This goes the same for when you're driving: Practice these mindfulness techniques to help decrease that pesky road rage.
