It’s gorgeous on the other side.But the road that crosses the mountains is very twisted, with sharp turns every few seconds. The first two times I drove across it, my kid threw up in the back seat.It’s also stressful. I’m surrounded by gorgeous mountain scenery, but I can’t take my eyes off the winding road.Though I drive at a normal speed, the other cars follow impatiently on my tail, because many of them drive this road every day.It’s only a half hour to cross, but I always arrive pretty drained. The stress was affecting my motivation enough that I wanted to stop visiting.So one day I tried a new approach. I drove really slowly.Now the turns didn’t make my kid sick. Now I could afford to take a few seconds to glance sideways and appreciate the scenery.Now it wasn’t stressful, except for one thing: the impatient queue of cars behind me. I care (perhaps too much) about other people, so just seeing them in my mirror made me go back to driving faster than I wanted, which brought back all the original problems.So I made one simple tweak:I tilted my rear view mirror up towards the ceiling, so I couldn’t see anything behind me.Ahhh... Instantly relaxed.Now it feels like I’m almost alone on this gorgeous mountain drive. Going at my own pace, not influenced or stressed by anyone else.There’s a passing lane every few minutes, so when it comes, the other cars whiz by me. For 30 minutes, they’re not my problem. When I get to the other side, I put my mirror back.Now I go visit all the time, no stress at all.968重庆之声每周一至周五8点56分每天三分钟养成良好英语听说习惯
