Traveling by Plane Serenely: Manage the Need for Control
How to Deal with Anxiety Before Flying:
If you’ve ever experienced anxiety before flying, I understand how overwhelming just the idea of getting on the plane can be.
The fear of flying is often associated with the need for control, an aspect that can significantly amplify our fears. Before directly addressing the fear of flying, it is essential to understand and manage the desire for control that can trigger the anxiety.
The Role of Control in Fear of Flying
The desire for control is a fundamental component of the anxiety associated with fear of flying.
When we feel out of control over a situation, our anxiety can increase dramatically.
This is especially evident during flight, where we are subject to a number of external variables that are beyond our direct control. It’s important to recognize that the desire for control is natural, but learning to manage it can be an important key to addressing the anxiety associated with flying.
Practical Strategies for Managing the Need for Control
There are several practical strategies we can adopt to manage the need for control before addressing the fear of flying.
An effective technique is to focus on accepting the things we cannot change and focus our energy on what we can control.
This may include carefully preparing for the flight, learning about safety procedures, and adopting relaxation techniques such as meditation or deep breathing and various cheat sheets, providing practical advice and strategies for dealing with anxiety while flying.
Ultimately, addressing anxiety before flying is essential for a more enjoyable and peaceful trip.
Recognizing the role of control in our anxiety and adopting practical strategies to manage it can be crucial steps towards overcoming the fear of flying and achieving greater peace of mind while traveling.
