Do you often have moments during the day when you feel incredibly sleepy or have a breakdown? But the evening is still as far away as the Russian car industry – to perfection. Meanwhile, the reason for this is the seemingly most harmless habits that we don’t even pay attention to. And in vain…
In order not to waste energy for nothing, smart books advise you to get enough sleep, eat well and exercise. Generally nothing new. And for those who often spend time behind the wheel, outdated life hacks are completely irrelevant. Far more curious are the habits that really devour human power, which we don’t even think about. Let’s think about…
LEOPARD CHANGES HIS SPOTS
Doctors rightly say that poor posture causes energy loss due to excessive strain on muscles, tendons and joints. And every driver knows how tired his legs and back are on the road. And especially because of the wrong landing behind the wheel. Of course, it’s hard not to hump, especially on a long journey. That is why it is recommended to stop and stretch more often. Granted, this should be done at a safe distance from passing cars.
EXHALE, BEVER
Shallow breathing reduces the amount of oxygen our body needs. And due to its lack, the brain activates processes that quickly lead to general fatigue. Therefore, do not be lazy – take deep breaths and exhale regularly to avoid moral exhaustion. Preferably inhale through your nose and exhale through slightly closed lips. True, if you smoke, it is better to skip straight to the next paragraph.
TRUST BUT CHECK
Often fellow travelers give the driver advice on how best to behave in a certain situation. Where and how to drive, what music to listen to and how to maintain the car. Help, of course, never hurt anyone. However, any outside recommendations should be adapted to your own needs. You should not follow the directions unconditionally – they are not always “working”, meaning they risk wasting your time and energy at the same time.
SPEAKS – DON’T BE SILENT
Talking on a cell phone while driving, albeit via Bluetooth, also reduces concentration while driving. In addition, it takes away power, because the nervous system processes a recent dialogue with an invisible interlocutor for 20-30 minutes, and this somehow exposes the brain to additional stress. Ideally, think about whether it makes sense to answer the call at this point. Maybe the conversation can be moved?
EVERYTHING GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN
Planning a slew of tasks to be “solved” during the journey is a thankless task. First, you can just forget about half; secondly, multifunctionality by definition takes away power and at the same time adds anxiety, which is also undesirable when driving. Psychologists say that excessive foresight forces a person to stay in a state of the future and not live in the present. Therefore, it is better to resolve cases as they arise and adjust plans based on priorities.
