How can I manage my anxiety when traveling through airports?

It's common to feel anxious in airports. Have you tried deep breathing exercises or mindfulness techniques?

I haven't tried those. Can you guide me through a breathing exercise?

Sure! Inhale deeply through your nose for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth for 6 seconds. Repeat this a few times.

That sounds helpful! What else can I do to feel more comfortable?

You might consider arriving early to avoid rushing, listening to calming music, or bringing a comforting item from home.

Thanks! I'll try those tips. What if I still feel overwhelmed?

If you still feel overwhelmed, find a quiet space to regroup, or talk to airport staff for assistance. You're not alone!
