Mastering the voices

Did you know that driving could be broken down into 3 key skills

Learning to Dance

Mastering the voices

Relational spacing

You're probably thinking, what is this person on about!, well listen up.

1. Controlling the car is nothing more than synchronising your hands and feet to move in harmony, just like dancing.
2. Some people have an internal dialogue or voices, even if you don't, your thoughts, emotions and values will trigger physical responses.which affect your dancing and your spacial relationships. So this is the core through which everything is defined. Are you the boss of your voices?
3. Relational Spacing describes your speed and position in relationship with everything around you.

Imagine that you don't worry about taking the wing mirrors off parked cars...
Imagine a bus approaches on a narrow road with cars parked either side...
Imagine the voices say miss the bus!!! NOW!!!!!
What action do you think is likely to happen next? Anybody missing a wing mirror?

Imagine you're very concerned about slowing down the people behind you....
Imagine you're approaching a bend at 60mph road
As you approach the corner your voices have a fight,
"But I don't want to slow the car down behind me"
"But you can't go round the corner at that speed"
Finally sense prevails and a voice shouts "brake!!!"
The question is, was it in time? Did you stay on your side of the road? Did you manage to change gear or did you stall?

Hopefully you see that in these scenarios, the voices have control of the car. These voices are mainly fear-based and some of this is healthy for staying alive, but in these scenarios the fear overrides and produces unwanted results.
Learning to drive is about training your thoughts, emotions and values so you are in control not the voices in control of you.
