How to Help Your Fear of Flying
Most people love to travel. Getting there that can be a pain! But for some it’s more than just a pain, it can be terrifying. Regardless of where the fear comes from, there are steps you can take to lessen the pain: First, learn what keeps the aircraft in the air and why it’s such a safe form of transportation. Learn the basic principles of airplane flight before your trip. Choose an aisle seat so you don’t feel boxed in. Think positive: concentrate on your destination. Get to the airport early so you don’t feel rushed. Once you are on the aircraft, remember the simple things, like breathing. Breathing exercises can be very calming. Bring a good book to take your mind off things. An iPod works well too. Avoid caffeine like coffee or soft drinks that may give you the jitters. You can also look online for programs which help travelers: SOAR, Anxieties.com, and Fear of Flying Tips are a few sites with helpful hints.
