Until recently, whenever I was stuck in traffic, I would get upset. Then one day, I was actually very thankful to be within the traffic, rather than within the car accident that had caused the traffic.
Now, whenever I'm stuck in traffic, I try to do more positive things. I remind myself about the niceness of having a car. I also tell myself to just relax. Whether I want to or not, relaxation can include listening in my car to nice music for a longer time than I had initially expected. Having a little bit of extra relaxation time is a reason to be thankful, rather than a reason to be upset.
