How to overcome your fear of flying and enjoy the ride once in the sky?

Many people have a fear of flying. Some people take prescribed medication to sedate themselves. I have found that it was easy for me to overcome the fear of flying very simply. In fact, I have come to the point where I actually love to fly.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Relax
• Have Fun

1. Realize that you are safer in the air then you are driving on the freeway. Understand this and believe it.
2. Think of it as an extreme adventure. It’s like a great amusement park ride but on a much larger scale.
3. Check out the people on the plane. You will most likely see some very funny characters. Look for some of the faces you might have seen while sitting in the terminal. People watching can be fun and will keep your mind busy.
4. Look out the windows whenever possible. Make sure to enjoy the awesome view and the realize that you can only experience it because of the great modern technology that you are riding in.
5. If you experience any turbulence, understand that this is normal for every flight. Think of it as an extra little surprise. In fact I look forward to experiencing flight turbulence on a flight. It’s kind of like being a kid again and sitting in the back seat of your Dads car while he drives over some railroad tracks.
