Absolutely, I used to work about 10min. bike ride from work, tricked myself by saying "I'm just commuting " and ended up going 1hr- 1.25 daily on a roundabout course.

I had time to organize my thoughts, organize my day, relax, and prepare myself physically & mentally.

I would not have made the last 10 years as a corporate chef without what my doc called "a fantastic coping mechanism".
