The fear of
flying is very common, but the truth is that you’re not alone. It is said that
one out of every three people is afraid to fly. It is a symptom rather than a
disease. It can be a phobia by itself or a manifestation of one or more
phobias; different causes can lead to fear of flying.
Although not
everyone suffers from this fear with the same intensity; 13% are considered to
have real panic and 15% have a more or less acute or moderate discomfort when
boarding a plane, a 28% estimate that suffers to a greater or lesser extent.
Fear of flying can be caused by several fears:-
1. Fear
of heights.
2. Fear
of enclosed spaces like the cockpit of an airplane.
3. Fear
of having panic attacks in certain places.
4. Fear
of not being in control.
5. Fear
of turbulence.
6. Fear
of flying in the night.
7. Fear
of accident that will result in death.
These fears exist but you do not allow them to ruin
the joy of your flight.
Ten tips to end the fear of flying:-
1. Meditate:
Meditation is another
way many people gain control over travel anxiety. Meditation uses a type of
self-hypnosis, so you can calm your nerves and your mind. Several self-hypnosis
scripts designed to relieve anxiety about travel. Meditate on these scripts and
your mind will be calm during your trip. Scripts are excellent tools to turn
people's subconscious minds into friends rather than enemies. Instead of having
a subconscious mind deeply rooted in the anxiety to travel, you will have a
subconscious mind that is confident and not afraid of flights.
2. Air transport is considered the safest?
More than 100,000 daily flights and an accident rate of 0.37. Airplanes do not fly "by magic”,
they fly under the requirement of something as solid as a law of physics.
3. Learn
to cope with flight phobia
What exactly does scare
you? Are you acrophobic or claustrophobic? You may want to dig deeper to find
the root cause of your fear. Maybe the mechanical sounds bother you or the
turbulence of the air causes you fear. All these fears are irrational, you can counter
them rationally. Airlines have strict security measures onboard.
4. Once onboard, try to tune to music or
favourable channels to calm your nerves
Also, use anything you like, such as a book, game to interrupt your
thoughts while traveling.
5. Commercial aviation is the safest means
of transportation is to leave no loose ends and not trust anything. The planes
have already seen that they fly by the application of imperious natural laws,
but they remain so safe in the air, with all certainty, thanks to the
maintenance and exhaustive and permanent care that is done to these machines
since they leave the factory until the end of his active life.
6. It is important that your thoughts are
not catastrophic, but positive and realistic. Having a positive outlook on your
flight will help you stay calm and relax.
7. It is better that you do not put
yourself in the window seats because it can increase your anxiety.
8. When there is a plane crash, avoid
watching images on television so as not to associate the plane with a dangerous
situation.
9. Flying in the company of a friend, a
relation or talk with the partner next door can keep you calm and relaxed.
10. Take slow and deep breaths, if they are
accompanied by relaxing music better; especially on takeoff and landing.
