Can Positive Affirmations Help You Avoid North Carolina Auto Accidents?
Are your current beliefs about driving putting you at risk for a North Carolina car accident?
If you recognize that your driving skills are rusty, below par, or inadequate for the challenges you face, it might behoove you to reflect on how you drive, why you drive, and how to drive better and safer.
As previously discussed, journaling offers many benefits. Drivers who want to understand their habits and opportunities for improvement can glean great insight simply by journaling before and after every road trip. (Yes, this can be annoying and time consuming. But the information you gain from the insights can save your life.)
Once you’ve developed some insights into your driving, and you want to change your behavior, how might you be able to go about doing that?
One possible route is through the use of repeated affirmations. For instance, you might collect 5 or 10 “new beliefs” you want to have about driving and then write those down on a piece of paper. Then, every morning when you wake up and every evening before you go to sleep, read those affirmations to yourself, and your subconscious will begin to internalize those thoughts.
Here are a few types of thoughts that you might include in an affirmation list:
1. I never use my cell phone (even a hands-free headset) when I drive. If I need to make a call, I pull over first.
2. When I drive, I focus on driving. I avoid letting my mind wander to other things.
3. I take care of my vehicle and ensure that all the components are safe and well maintained.
4. I educate myself about car accident prevention.
5. I avoid driving if I feel fatigued, or drunk, or medicated, or otherwise incapacitated.
The more you tailor your affirmations to your personal peccadilloes – driving mistakes that you often make and want to avoid – the more useful you may find this exercise to be.
If you need help with a specific legal question concerning a crash or injury, talk to a North Carolina auto accident law firm about how to obtain powerful results.
