many people are afraid to fly because there is no guarantee that accidents will not happen, and because they can not trust your life to anyone. but the accidents are also likely as in the air and on the ground, but when there is a plaincrash, everybody dies.There are 5 ways to conquer fear of flying
1. Know what to expect
Without knowing what to expect at the airport and on the flight itself, your mind tends to wander.
Familiarize yourself with the sights and sounds of flying. Understand the bumps and movements of an airplane.
talk to friends who have flown. Ask them to describe the process from start to finish. Question them about turbulence. Do they have a “bad turbulence” story? Chances are that they do. Then, realize they are still here to tell you the story.
2. Understand why flying is actually safe
We have all heard the saying: “You’re more likely to die in a car accident on the way to the airport than on the plane.”
This is certainly true. Statistics show you are in fact 500-1000 times more likely to meet your end on the highway. But let’s face it; this does not really help calm your nerves. You are still not in control of the plane!
But consider: how many drivers are actually in control of what other drivers are doing on the road around them? None! I’m fairly confident that 40,000+ Americans are not dying each year in a car wreck because they have control over the situation.
Sit on the wing and breathe the fresh air
Getting yourself onto the plane is only half the battle. You still have todeal with your nerves acting up while you are in your seat.
The cool air from the valve above you is a great way to chill out and relax. Open the nozzle full blast and direct it onto your face. The rush of air will not only help calm your heavy breathing, but will also keep your underarms a bit dryer. (You want to minimize the amount of sweat you will have to wear for the next few hours.)
4. Just pretend you’re on A bus
It sounds too simple to work, but it does. Closing your eyes and imagining that you are just taking a bus ride can really help.
When it comes down to it, being on a plane doesn’t feel that much different from being on a Greyhound bus (once you’re in the air).
5. Sedatives are just a doctor’s appointment away
When there is simply no way to get around your fears, and thoughts of canceling your flight flash in your head, make an appointment to see your doctor. Giving into your fear of flying can cause you to miss out on the fantastic chance of traveling the world.
The confidence and sense of accomplishment you gain by visiting a distant land is only more gratifying when you arrive by conquering your fears.
