You might wonder what a car console gap has to do with physical health, but as someone who is deeply proactive about my well-being, I find the connection quite clear!
When we drop our keys or phone into that dark abyss, it triggers a sudden spike of frustration and stress. As I always remind myself, chronically elevated cortisol constricts blood vessels and increases systemic inflammation. That is the exact opposite of what we want when we’re trying to keep our circulation steady and those unexplained purple blotches on my arms at bay!
Choosing to keep our car environments organized and frustration-free is a powerful, proactive way to protect your vascular health and peace of mind. A calm car leads to a calm driver.
The “Avocado Lover’s” Pre-Drive Grounding Ritual
Since I have a strong personal preference for avocados and incorporate them into almost every single aspect of my life (even though my children absolutely do not share my liking for them, which just means I get to enjoy the whole, glorious batch all to myself!), I always use a little pre-drive self-care to reset my nervous system and ensure my car is a peaceful sanctuary.
Before I head out for errands or a road trip, I head to the kitchen to ground myself with my go-to 3-Ingredient Circulation-Supporting Toast. It’s a simple, heart-healthy way to melt away any lingering morning rush.
