Flying is a mutually agreed upon act of trust between passenger and pilot. And that’s kind of beautiful, when you think about it. So instead of filling the plane with your anxious energy, why not send out good vibes of calm and trust? Instead of distracting yourself or popping a Xanax, why not sink deep into the feelings and wade through them? If your heart is racing, slow your breathing. Don’t ignore your body just because your mind is scared. Your mind is a tool that can bring your body peace.
