We reacted more strongly to frustrations than normal people. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 111
Impatience with other people is one of my principal failings. Following a slow car in a no-passing lane, or waiting in a restaurant for the check, drives me to distraction. Before I give God a chance to slow me down, I explode, and thats what I call being quicker than God. That repeated experience gave me an idea. I thought if I could look down on these events from Gods point of view, I might better control my feelings and behavior. I tried it and when I encountered the next slow driver, I levitated and looked down on the other car and upon myself. I saw an elderly couple driving along, happily chatting about their grandchildren. They were followed by mebug eyed and red of facewho had no time schedule to meet anyway. I looked so silly that I dropped back into reality and slowed down. Seeing things from Gods angle of vision can be very relaxing.

I love that idea! Heard a story early on about a driver that was tailgating my friend. My friend did everything he could to not let this driver pass him as he was pissed off. Turns out the driver in the car was heading to the emergency room! Take a moment to let those in a hurry pass you by! You may not realize what youre missing!

Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.......oh wrong thread lol
seriously, I like that. I took a stress releif class a year or so ago. We learned deep breathing exercises. The teacher told us to practice these 2 minute exercises when we arrive at traffic lights. I do that and also take the time to stretch my neck and back.
