This doesn’t mean a faster route, it could mean a nicer route or a more comfortable way to travel. Don’t battle the time it takes to get to work, make it enjoyable and use it wisely. Take the time to read, meditate, listen to music or a podcast.

Change your commute

Be conscious of your surroundings and enjoy the moment. Get out of the office at work, go for a stroll, read a book in a coffee shop for 20 mins. When things get on top of you concentrate on your breathing, this will focus your mind and calm you.

Cut out the noise and live a more minimalist life I have long been a believer in living simply. As a youngster, I would buy Volkswagen magazines with the dream of one day living in a VW camper van. Now at 43 years old, as a User Experience Designer it has clicked that I was right as a kid.
