This isn't how you wanted this to go, but here's the thing, You can't move the traffic and you're also the cause of traffic for someone else. So what you can do is decide what happens inside the car right now. Let your hands relax on the wheel and allow your shoulders to drop away from your ears, following the music, and finding the rhythm. Breathing in, and out. In and out. Breathing in and out. You'll get there, maybe a little later than planned, but you'll get there. And whatever is waiting for you on the other side of this traffic, it can wait a little longer. Right now, this is your time. Unexpected, unplanned, but yours. Breathing in and out Just for a moment, allow this moment to be enough. (soft music)...
