Utilizing leisure time effectively will ease ones mind. All of us are suffering from tension in some or other way. There is a popular saying that an idle mind is devil's workshop. These wording will come true when we are sitting idle, nothing to do in particular, our minds will be recollecting the past incidents happened in our life. In most cases those incidents which we want to forget for some reasons will click in mind and once if we pay a bit attention, then the whole incident will be coming to our mind one by one and will destroy our peace of mind. The physical mind will show this uneasiness either by showing irritation to everything happening around or aggressive tendency toward co-workers, family members or who is nearby. If we fail to control ourselves at that particular moment we may become a suspected psycopath in front of others.
The best possible remedy is avoiding thinking, which is not at all possible by human being, especially while we are travelling long distances. If we are driving a vehicle our self, then no such problem as we will be concentrating totally towards the vehicles and road. That is not the case when we travel by bus or train. We will be freely enjoying the way side sceneries. Since we don't have to concentrate anything, our mind will be wandering here and there. Now-a-days long distance buses and trains are fitted with television and audio systems to avoid boring. Even while watching or listening the programs your mind may wander here and there.
