Sometimes it is nice to go on a long journey with friends. But, if it is about every day? Then this long distance journey can become a punishment. You feel fresh even after traveling, it is important for both work and health.
'Four hours a day! Don't you get tired?
Sometimes. But, it feels good, too. I like my work, home too. This is my time. The mind becomes calm. There is a distance between home and work.
He was surprised to hear this. His own home is a quarter of an hour away from the office, and most of his journey is spent in haste and restlessness. He enters the office every day with his taut face. I wish they think! His house would have been closer. So he would have been happier and would have been able to do a better job.
The long distance between home and office bothers most of the people. Some use public transport, while others have to drive themselves. Research says that spending more time on the road can spoil our health and mood. Especially, when there is heavy traffic on the roads and pollution in the air.
There can be many reasons for commuting long distances to work every day. For example, lack of alternative to other work, good job, good salary, job satisfaction, family reasons. Whatever may be the reason, but we cannot sing the song of compulsion of distance all the time. And then the work that has to be done every day, doing it sadly increases the stress.
Think again
Smartphone, headphones, good network convenience, smart car and easy to carry away from office due to arrival of tablet doesn't bother like more than ever
This time can now be made productive. It is true that commuting long distances every day can create many problems. It also affects the quality time spent at home and office. But, says counselor and HR expert Rakesh Jain, 'Every problem related to office, home or health is not necessarily related to daily long distance. A lot of stress can also be associated with not getting the job done on time and correctly. Many health problems increase because we do not pay attention to them in time. One, we know the true causes of stress. Second, understand your need and use the time properly. Good relations also make our work easier.
Our thinking has a big impact on work and energy. Leo Bobta, author and founder of Jane Hewitt, says, "If we're constantly viewing a task through the lens of compulsion, then stress is bound to build up." Whatever be the journey, we should try to make it useful, enjoyable and comfortable. If you think a little, many things can be done. By starting your journey fifteen minutes earlier, you can reduce the discomfort associated with reaching the office late and on the way. By making a slot of many important tasks in your mind, you can prevent yourself from getting involved in many unnecessary tasks.
Today there are many options for work, rest and entertainment. Think about what chores around the house, work, or entertainment you can accomplish along the way. If you can't read anything while driving, listen to news podcasts or audiobooks. Can talk to friends and clients on the phone. If there is no time to see or learn something new at home, then you can decide to study in a disciplined manner on the way. It is better to keep screen time less. Read a book or talk to the people sitting next to you. It is not necessary that something else should be done. You may also need rest. Seeing the paths with a calm mind with a smile on the face is no less than meditation.
