Fear of flying is one of the most common phobias in the modern world. For many people, flying on an airplane is extremely stressful, accompanied by emotional and psychological stress. You can get rid of fear using several methods.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn to relax just before your flight. Your favorite music, shopping, reading a book or magazine will help you with this - time will fly by faster, and you can also be distracted from disturbing thoughts. Concentrate on anything unrelated to aircraft - do not look at them through glass while watching the service or loading of baggage.
Step 2
Make yourself comfortable in a chair - you have to spend several hours in it, so look for a comfortable position, lay out your things. Take a player with headphones, a laptop or an exciting electronic game to the salon - try to abstract from your feelings and do not fix every detail. If you can't get distracted at all, then start counting - just go over the numbers in your mind, draw them mentally in front of your eyes, use the relaxation breathing technique (inhale for 5 counts, and when exhaling, count to 7).
Step 3
Free your body from everything that binds you - take off your watch, loosen your tie or unbutton your jacket, buttons on the sleeves, move the belt buckle back a few steps. When going on a flight, wear comfortable and comfortable clothing, flat shoes or sneakers.
Step 4
Take a sedative. There are special drugs that suppress feelings of anxiety - drinking the recommended amount of drugs is not at all shameful, but you will feel calmer and more confident. For these purposes, some prefer to use alcohol as a relaxant - and this will do you good, just try not to get carried away.
Step 5
Use your imagination to visualize your fears. You can mentally draw a huge flying ball, placing all your fears, phobias and bad thoughts there. Imagine how the ball is gradually moving away from you, getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappears altogether. Focus on your emotions - if, when you are experiencing intense fear, you have a stomach or headache, then imagine that you are breathing through this part of the body. As you exhale, each time you cleanse the organ, which gradually turns from bright red or black to purple or yellow. Mentally direct there a ray of light that heals and relieves tension.
