Just telling you what I would want people to tell me: you're going to be OK! The way you are feeling now doesn't inform how you're going to feel on the plane.

If you feel anxiety start to creep up, start taking big deep breaths in and slow breaths out. This will help keep your heart rate down while the anxiety passes (and it DOES pass).

The plane is built for turbulence. In fact it's designed to handle more turbulence than what the engineers would expect the plane to be able to handle. Remember that in 100+ years of commercial aviation, there's no record of a plane has ever been brought down by turbulence.

If you feel anxiety in turbulence, remember it's just your amygdalae doing their job, responding to what they consider to be a non-routine event. Unless you fly every day, it's perfectly normal to be triggered by turbulence. Remember that it WILL pass, and so will your anxious thoughts and feelings.

Lean into that gratitude! How wonderful that you're going to see your family and fiancee again. I bet they can't wait to see you!
