I listen to a lot of music while I am driving…trance/techno and Japanese video game and anime sound tracks, sometimes called J-pop. [Most of these] have very good and methodical bass lines, melody lines, and even some drum or bass guitar lines…. I picked a particular beat, whether it was a bass of a trance song (it’s the “thump” of a trance song if you have ever heard one) or a bass guitar riff of an anime rock song and did my best to tap my finger or foot with the exact rhythm in synchrony of the particular riff or beat I was concentrating on…. I was able to alternate songs and then the different parts of the same songs to really explore and keep up with…. I did this while driving for long periods of time on the freeway…. When I was running short errands, I found myself getting equally frustrated, so I did it every time I was stopped at a red light or stop sign or even if the lane was just moving a bit too slow for my liking. I was able to take this microactivity of keeping in perfect tapping synchronicity of a song to wherever I went with my car, whenever I felt like I was beginning to feel too many negative emotions…. I found that with this microflow activity I was able to drive perfectly but at the same time be able to concentrate on the song and my tapping.
