Drivers education for your brain...

By Vichara


Some of us will remember the common sense rule of the road to always leave a safe distance between your car and the one in front of you. The same applies when it comes to our thoughts. In this crazed multi-tasking world it is wise to watch out for tailgating thoughts. Allowing no distance between thoughts, both work and personal, leads to crashes that could ignite anger and frustration. I have learned that inserting a moment of meditation or a moment to breathe and recite a mantra acts like a traffic cop to separate crashing thoughts. By taking these moments it will lead to a slowing down and create a safety zone and an opportunity for the answers you need to form more fluidly. So instead of wasting your time cleaning up nasty thought crashes you gain more time to think clearly and enjoy you time behind the wheel of your shiny ding-free mind.

audacious • \aw-DAY-shus\ • adjective
1 : daring, bold
2 : insolent
*3 : marked by originality and verve
Example Sentence:
The band has been making original and creative music for well over ten years, but their latest album is by far their most audacious to date.
Did you know?
Shakespeare used "audacious" seven times in his plays. That in itself wasn't exactly an act of bold originality. The word, which comes from the Latin root "audac-" ("bold"), had been around for decades. But the Bard was the first to use "audacious" in its "insolent" sense ("Obey, audacious traitor; kneel for grace," Henry VI Part 2), and he may have been the first to use the adverb "audaciously." "Audacious" itself was something of an innovation in the 16th century: it was one of the earliest "-acious" words in English. Subsequently, we've added lots of "-acious" adjectives to our lexicon, including "pugnacious," "loquacious," "voracious," and even, in the 19th century, "bodacious" (which is most likely a combination of "bold" and "audacious").
