Is it safe to smoke inside the car?

If you must smoke while driving, keep in mind you cannot keep the smoke or the smell out regardless of how much you try to keep the cigarette outside the window. Open all the windows at least halfway to make certain there is a lot of fresh air circulating inside the car to prevent any fabrics absorbing the smoke. Make sure you smoke only on open stretches and not while stuck in traffic. Use a cup of water in cup holder to constantly flick your ashes to minimize them flying all over the place. Make certain your ac/heater are pulling air from outside and not recirculating the inside air. Recirculating indoor air will cause the vents to stink and, in turn, constantly stink up your car.

There’s no really best way, but here’s one that’s helped me, funnily enough- Stop seeking validation. You’d think it’d be the opposite; you get more validation, you feel more secure.

There’s no really best way, but here’s one that’s helped me, funnily enough- Stop seeking validation. You’d think it’d be the opposite; you get more validation, you feel more secure. But in reality, your mind wants to keep checking again. And again. And again. You have to keep checking back, and all the while every time in between checking the anxiety grows. When I actively kept asking for validation, or when I kept googling for answers, I found that it got to the point of obsession and it only worsened my insecurity. Once I stopped looking for those answers, once I allowed myself just to be, I started feeling less anxious over time. This fits in line with a tried therapy method of mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness meditation is all about living in the moment, allowing yourself to feel, allowing yourself to be, rather than seeking a quick end to the feeling and thus ruminating. In other words, the best way to stop feeling insecure is, ironically enough, just allowing yourself to feel insecure without doing anything about the feeling other than acknowledging it and having it there.

Just outright ask for more. You want to write but you feel like everyone’s going to hate your writing? Just go ahead and write anyway. You want to go to a party but you feel like you’re going to stand out and make a fool out of yourself? Go anyway. You have a performance coming up and you think you’re going to bomb it? Practice it right now, out loud, not in your head, instead of worrying about it, and then let come what may when it does happen. Let yourself experience things and don’t let the insecurity or the need to immediately scrub it out hold you back. The more you do this, the more confident you will become.
Feelings should not be something to be avoided. Feelings are part of what makes us human; it’s a good thing to experience them, so long as you don’t let them cripple your ability to live your life.
