As the simple use of public transport can save your sanity and the life of the planet.
This morning while watching the news while breakfast, they were talking about the great pollution that exists in the city due to the lack of rain that has occurred in recent months, the pollution is mainly due to the large number of cars entering the city every day, but this has an easy solution and also this solution has many advantages that increase your productivity.
Ask any number of people what they value most in life and they will probably tell you, time, money and peace of mind, you will surely be in their highest priorities.
However, many of us seem to be willing to give up a lot of these things supposedly for the ease and comfort that comes from having our beloved cars, even though they are eating up our finances, keeping us stressed because of the traffic and Take away our precious time.
Do not fear !, there is an alternative and its name is Public Transport.
It sounds simple, but leaving the car and using public transportation could save more than you think.
In addition to the money that you will initially spend on the vehicle itself, if we add taxes, insurance, repairs, in addition to the money we spend on fuel, you have to take into account that the vehicle costs us an arm and a leg.
Add all the expenses and really calculate how much your car costs over a year. Then compare it to the amount it would cost to travel by public transport. In this last case it would be cheaper, what are you waiting for?
The money you save can be invested in your long-term goals or you can simply save it for an emergency.
In public transport, however, time is yours. You could spend your trip reading that business management book that you have recently acquired (it is usually what I do), you could be writing down the ideas for your next big project, you could be updating your list of tasks or even reading your e -mail before arriving at the office.
Whatever you decide to do, it is definitely better than being a slave to your car during the entire trip.
Have you ever leaned over the wheel on a hot day, with your heart pounding, your breathing and mind accelerated to succumb to anger and madness from the traffic around you or from being stuck in a traffic jam? .
Try to take the bus in exchange.
The belligerent traffic still will not move, but now you will have your favorite music playing on your iPod, you will be absorbed with the new book that you have been dying to read, you will be busy pointing out some ideas for that great project of yours, or you could be doing any number of other things that hardly notice in the chaos beyond the bus.
Everything will be fine, you will be calm and you will arrive at your destination completely free of stress and you will be ready for a productive day.
When you drive to work the amount of exercise you do is minimal, you will walk a few steps from your home to the car door and then a little more from the car to your place of work.
When you take public transport on the other hand, you practically force yourself to add a little more exercise in your life by walking (or, well, why not run a little?) To take the bus or the train and then walk again until the job. If you are struggling to include exercise in your lifestyle, this is an easy and quick way to increase activity in your daily routine.
You do not have to be an eco-genius to realize that the more cars on the road, the more emissions there will be into the atmosphere, increasing pollution and bringing the world one step closer to premature death.
By leaving yours in the garage and using public transportation, you will be doing your part in ending pollution and ultimately saving the world.
