Finding time for yourself isn’t the easiest when you’re juggling a job that you need, a child that depends on you for everything, and a home that doesn’t clean itself.
So, you make do with what you can get. Considering that we spend 580 hours a year in traffic jams, turning drive time into me time is a viable option.
How to squeeze some me time into your driving time
#1 Start a daily self-affirmation habit

Before you drive off, take a few seconds to do affirmations—they are a self-worth booster. For starters, try these: “I want to think more positively about myself” and “I have the strength to make it through the day”.
It helps to also keep a gratitude journal in the car. While waiting to pick up the kids, list 3 things that you’re grateful for that day, ‘forcing’ your brain to pay attention to the good things in life.
#2 Tune out to stress, tune in to good vibes

There are many podcast choices on Spotify and YouTube these days. Sync the phone to your car and play podcast roulette! Whether it’s true crime, parenthood tips or health advice, take a random pick and discover something new.
#3 Make the car your hobby hub

When your car’s caught in a standstill, use that opportunity to do what you never get to do at work or at home. Crochet, read, plan a holiday—anything that makes you happy!
And on tougher days, stay in the car for a short bit and decompress before walking into the house at the end of the day. You’ve earned those quiet minutes.
The car is like a second home. Drive one that lets you live your best life
This 2025, if you’re looking to upgrade your ride, the Honda CR-V promises the ultimate standard.
What’s good about the Honda CR-V?
Look beyond its sleek exterior and comfortable interior, and you’ll find that it’s also a powerhouse on wheels. Fitted with a 2.0L e:HEV Powertrain, it delivers sheer acceleration and serene quietness.
Since we’re all about a stress-free 2025, it’s good to note that the CR-V comes with a 360 camera. It gives you multiple views of your surroundings, making parking and manoeuvring tight spaces less of a headache.
Want more space to keep your gratitude journals and crochet supplies? You got it. Adding to the generous interior and boot space is a dashboard with compartments to keep your essentials organised.
The Honda CR-V doesn’t play when it comes to sound quality either. Get an immersive audio experience as you listen to your podcast and music on speakers powered by Bose.
In case your me time includes a bout of retail therapy, loading and unloading your shopping bags get easier with the Hands-Free Power Tailgate with Walkaway Close. Just lift your foot underneath the bumper to open the boot, and walk away to automatically close!
Take a closer look at the ultimate SUV:
The Honda CR-V has a lot more to offer. Find out on their official website or visit a Honda authorised dealer to experience it in person!
