Congratulations!!!
Look at ways you can maximize your commute like listening to an audio books, or listening to something motivational to start your AM. Hopefully that eases things and gets you in a good headspace each morning. I'd also say look at doing something similar in the evening too! Maybe you listen to fun/entertaining podcast to unwind your day, or meditative music to decompress for a few minutes.

Awesome! An idea for the longer commute, find a gym nearby and workout. I have a friend with a long commute and that’s what she does. We workout together by the time we are finished the traffic has subsided.

Congratulations! I used to have a long commute and I found a way to love it. It became an awesome transition from work into personal time. I used it to make phone calls to friends and family that I didn’t normally “have time” to make, I listened to audio books, made lists with Siri on my iPhone, etc. I love the idea of going to gym for a bit to let traffic die down, too! You’ll find your own ways to make great use of that travel time if you think of it as a gift ;)
