3 Tips For Happiness And Road Safety
by David Leonhardt

Astrology is for Skeptics

Real astrology doesn't tell you how to run your life.

It doesn't make your decisions for you.

It doesn't say you're consigned to a certain "fate."

Real astrology charts life's natural cycles.

It describes your experiences in ways that make sense.

"What are YOU doing promoting happiness?" a friend asked? "Weren't you Canada's best-known consumer advocate, the guy who gave the oil companies regular tongue-lashings for ripping off car-bound commuters?

Weren't you our hero, who shook his fists at evil governments oppressing poor, beleaguered motorists stuck miserably on underfunded roads in their air conditioned SUVs for hours without anything to keep them amused except for their cell phones, CD players, laptop computers, mini TV sets, beer fridges and horns to honk?

Funny how images get distorted. Not that I spared "evil governments" any mercy as spokesman for CAA Ontario (AAA affiliate) when they deserved it. But a consumer advocate lives for more than just rage.

For instance, there are those heartwarming phone calls from members: "What the *&?#@! do you guys think you're &$#@* doing?!? Can't you &*^@!$ see the big oil companies are %$%@* all over us!?!? You must have @!#?% for brains!" Ah, how I miss those inspiring heart to hearts.

In fact, I spent much of my time cajoling, hinting, pressuring, suggesting and coaxing the government to spend more on highway safety.

I spent plenty of time cajoling, hinting, pressuring, suggesting and coaxing drivers to be more attentive and safer on the roads.

And I spent a fair amount of time cajoling, hinting, pressuring, suggesting and coaxing the government to amend laws to protect you and me from "all those other bad drivers on the road".

This gave me a solid grounding in happiness. What's the connection?

Start with good posture. That's right, sit up straight to feel happier. An upright posture increases self-confidence and actually makes you happier.

By total coincidence, sitting up straight also helps you be more alert, which is a definite bonus in traffic where those people who drive sober, are legally licensed and are not escaping a crime scene often drift into daydreams.

Next, go to bed early. In this speed-of light world, where our outdated 24-hour clock keeps our to-do list just one step ahead of our way-overdue list, we sometimes forget to sleep. Regularly missing even an hour of sleep can build up a nasty sleep debt. That's OK, what we lack in sleep we make up for in grouchiness, grumpiness and crankiness.

Grouchiness, grumpiness and crankiness happen to be very useful traits on the road. They help us get in the mood for running "all those other bad drivers on the road" off the road, which adds a little fun and adventure to our lives, right?

Fatigue is also a major killer on the road. Did you know that car crashes increase 8% after the Daylight Savings Time switch, as people readjust their sleeping patterns? So get a little more sleep, but please not while you drive.

A third connection between happiness and traffic safety is anger.

Anger and happiness are not usually known to be bosom buddies: "Ooooh, I'm so angry I could bite somebody's head off, chew it up, spit it out and flush. Gotta love this feeling!"

People who spend their time blowing up at "all those other bad drivers on the road" are not exactly known for safe driving. It is generally understood that Road Rage is both dangerous and unhappy.

If we count to ten before reacting on the road, we might just get home in one piece. And if we can count to ten before reacting at home, we might even want to get home in one piece.

So sit up straight and get more sleep (not necessarily at the same time) and count to ten before reacting. That's' today's lesson in happiness and in road safety.

You're finally alone with it, and you have to come to grips with misfortune and go on.
