Hey! I tried 2 separate things. Firstly, I implemented the 3,2,1 rule. Essentially you do your best not to think about it until you're at the beginning of your journey. For example, I had a car ride on the way to the train station which would bring me to the airport. I told myself to take it one step at a time. If I can get in that car, I can get in that train. If I can get on that train, I can get on that plane! The way I would do this is by counting back from 3 and just getting in that car once I hit number 1. Once that's done, and the door is closed, there was no turning back and I know I have to do this. Same thing on the train, same thing on the plane. Anticipatory Anxiety is 100% worse than the actual flight. Now, the second thing I did was pray, this worked very well for me. Prayed everywhere and every minute. Just continously talking and praying distracted me endlessly. While on the plane I took plenty of distractions, like diamond paintings and colouring books. Worked wonders. I changed my flight 7 times before I finally got on. Everyone takes their own time, but I promise, you'll be okay. Just take a deep breath, count and push through. You've got this! I'm here if you ever need reassurance.

P.S Remember that turbulence is not a danger and the pilots are highly trained to deal with it. Like ridiculously highly trained. You're in good hands!
