How to Improve Your Long Commute to Work

November 20, 2019 by Tim

Whether you love it or loathe it, many of us have to go to work to feed our family and keep a roof over our head. If you have to venture further afield to get to the office, the long commute can take its toll, so it’s only natural that you will want to try anything you can to make the experience as pleasant as possible. To get your day off to a good start, here are a few ways things you can do to improve your long commute to work.

Listen to Music

Whether you’re stuck on a bus, car, or train, if you’re sat there in silence, the commute to work can feel like a lifetime. To make your commute time fly by and to get you in a good mood, why not put some of your favorite music on? If you’re on public transport, it’s important that you wear a pair of headphones, whereas if you’re on the open road in your car, you can blast your music to your heart’s content.

Practice Self Care

Your commute to work may be the only time you have to yourself in the week, therefore, why not use the time effectively by practicing self-care? Whether it’s trying out a simple meditation technique, or doing some deep breathing, having some time to mentally prepare yourself for the day ahead can be a huge help. You could also use your commute time to call a family member or friend who you don’t see enough.

Mix Things Up

If you’ve got yourself into the same daily routine, every day can feel like Groundhog Day! If your daily commute is annoying or too long, why not think outside the box and try out something new? Giving your brain a boost and adding a bit of excitement can go a long way and give you something to look forward to. Whether it’s by taking a different route to work or stopping on the way to grab a coffee, doing something different can do you the world of good.

Get an Eco-Friendly Car

We all know the seriousness of climate change, so if you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint and use less gas, why not invest in an eco-friendly car? If you face a long commute day to day, and you don’t use public transport, the amount of gas you use can be extortionate. To help spend less money on gas, check out ratings and reviews of hybrid and electric powered cars on sites like Carmax, such as the 2019 Hyundai Ioniq.

Give Yourself Extra Time

If you’re in a mad panic every morning before work, it’s likely that you will be all over the place when you rush into the office. Instead of hitting the snooze button, why not get up a little earlier and give yourself some extra time for yourself? The last thing you want is to miss a bus or train, or get caught up in rush hour traffic, so setting off earlier can help keep stress levels down.

If you have a long commute to work ahead of you, there are lots of things that you can do to reduce stress levels, whether you take the train or car.
