How to Overcome Travel Anxiety
Usually, travel is one of the activities that is enjoyable to a lot of people regardless if it’s for business or vacation purposes. But there are some people who feel anxious, worried and panicky even before they travel. Hence, travel anxiety can interfere with pleasure during personal and business trips. A normal, enjoyable trip can adversely be affected when you constantly feel anxious, jittery and restless.
For example, my aunt who is also my godmother has never been in an airplane. The reason behind this is that when you ask her if she wants to fly by plane, she would immediately say that she would never consider that because she is afraid that the plane might fall from the sky. If it falls on water, she could not swim. If it falls on a jungle, she does not know how to navigate through it and get off it safely.
The PANIC STOPPER PSYCHO-CYBERNETICS FOR ANXIETY PROGRAM is a sure-fire cure that helps you overcome travel anxiety. It stresses the importance of creative imagination in order to overcome any type of anxiety issues that you may suffer from and replacing a distorted self-image with an adequate realistic one.
Imagine that you would wake up the day of your flight feeling refreshed, you doing your morning rituals and arriving at the airport early for your flight. Paint a picture in your mind how you check in at the airport counter, sitting at the lounge waiting for your flight to be called and then, you imagine boarding a plane. You imagine you get to go to your seat, put your carry in bag at the top compartment, fasten your seatbelt and wait for the plane to fly. Afterwards, you imagine the pilot driving the plane steadily while the flight attendant is serving you your food and drink. Finally, you imagine that the plane would touch down the airport of destination with ease and you get to board off the plane.
When you play this in your mind over and over again, you would reach a point where you would be able to fully condition your mind that there is nothing to worry about when it comes to flying by plane as the mind can’t tell the difference between a real experience and a synthetic experience. And when you get that confidence in yourself, then, you would be able to actually board a plane.
Other than employing creative imagination, you need to take action in order to help you overcome your fear of flying. For instance, be sure to get adequate sleep beforehand and plan ahead as to what you would need to take with you before the day of your flight. This way, you would be able to avoid the stress in preparing at the last minute.
Meanwhile on the day itself, you need to give yourself ample time to go to the airport and you need to have enough time to check in and wait for your flight to get called. This way, you can avoid rushing through the airport to check in your bags and get your travel documents checked and approved.
Moreover, it would also be helpful if you have something that can distract you from your anxiety. You can bring a book or a magazine with you to keep yourself occupied during the whole flight. And you can bring an MP3 player with soothing music to keep you calm at the same time.
Always remember all the times you’ve ridden a plane where you were able to fly and reach your destination safely whenever you catch a flight. And then, actually book a flight, go to the airport and catch your flight so, that you would experience yourself how it is to fly and you can say to yourself that your worries are just a figment of your imagination.
And when you are able to enjoy the time you had when you traveled, it’s likely that you would never feel anxious the next time you travel to any destination you desire.
