I used to be so ego driven that I could not allow anyone to pass me or drive slowly in front of me without a tirade! As a Personal Growth Trainer, and Sustainable Lifeskills Coach, this was not acceptable behavior! So I created a ‘Perkshop’ aka small seminar, like a work shop, but for people [...]
my progress – slow… but it has allowed me to reflect on what it is I REALLY signed up for. It is easy to help courteous drivers merge and people cross (even j-walkers, 
) the hard part has been keeping the smile on my face when I get cut off or when I am [...]
You know what they say: “You are drawn to what you need to work on”. So I have been drawn to this “Shift”, and while I do try to always drive with alertness and safety all the time, and I let people merge when I notice their need, I admit, I need to work on [...]
when i see the smiles on people’s faces when i allow them to merge, I feel really connected to that person’s feelings
I’m new to the Shift network and just experienced a thrill when I saw this “shift” mentioned. I’ve been practicing what I call driving for peace for ten or fifteen years now and find it to be one of the most effective sources of my personal evolution. I see what an excellent job of driving [...]
Put a new spin on it-I have been the recipient of considerate drivers helping me to merge-It has been a stressful month back and forth to hospitals where several merges are involved-not a problem with anyone-must be on the same drive path as you humans are driving Thank You-your kindness often helped with my tears- [...]
feeling great with all those smiles that i get after i let somebody to pass… and when i notice some nervous driver passing through red light (yes, it is some kind of common behaviour in croatia) i just use ho’opononopo and i say: i’m sorry, i love you, thank you… the my ego can not [...]
What a perfect shift to begin my focus. As soon as someone cuts me off, it’s like my ego takes over and I’m cranky and irritated and then I start to notice how terrible EVERYONE is driving! I think this is a great way to start, to be consciously compassionate in the car. Perhaps since [...]
Whenever I get behind the wheel I try to remember to set the intention to “be surrounded by safe and courteous drivers” and I am fascinated to notice the difference between conditions when my husband or someone else is driving and when I am. It really works, and I am rarely bothered by traffic, and [...]
It really works, it makes travelling much more relaxing and friendly. I get let out so much quicker.
I have been driving with compassion for the past month by consciously helping other cars merge, pedestrians cross the street, with love, smiling and sending love and light to everyone etc.. Got the idea from Gregg Braden during a conference call. I have no idea if it’s helping anyone, but I am happy to report that [...]
