Simple Tips to Avoid Harmful Psychological Effects of Traffic Jam

The monsoon has brought us relief from scorching summer heat; we should be in a joyful mood, isn’t it? Unfortunately, the monsoon also brings worst kind of traffic congestions, especially in the metropolitan cities. 

We all know how irritating and frustrating it is to get stuck in jams; but Psychologist Shivani Misri Sadhoo, it’s not just traffic jam we should worry about, it’s the stress and frustration from jam that do us more harm. The South Delhi based eminent psychologist hence shares some effective tips to stay calm and relaxed during a jam.

1. If you get stuck in a traffic jam, accept that there is nothing else you can do; your irritation and stress won’t help the cars in front of you to move.

2. Keep a good collection of relaxing music in your car: it’s better to listen to a good music than worrying about the jam.

3. Use the toilet before you sit in your car; so you don’t end up waiting painfully to use a loo.


4. While waiting in your car you may try a neck rest pillow (if you find  it comfortable) and adjust your car seat position so your body can relax.
