How can I manage my anxiety before a flight?

It's common to feel anxious before flying. Have you tried any relaxation techniques like deep breathing or visualization?

I've heard about deep breathing. Can you guide me through it?

Sure! Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four, hold for four, and exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of six. Repeat this a few times.

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

You might consider bringing distractions like a book or music. Also, arriving early can help you feel more in control.

Thanks! I’ll try those tips. What if I still feel anxious during the flight?

If anxiety strikes during the flight, focus on your breathing again, and remind yourself that it's okay to feel this way. You can also talk to a flight attendant for support.
