Talking yourself down
Did we all not start the year triggered af while 30k in the air?
Today, write about a fear or phobia you have. Write to both acknowledge its realness for you but also see where you might dismantle it or take it down a bit.
I was on a wildly bumpy flight earlier today and though I know it’s just air it’s still unnerving to be over 30,000 feet in said air and watch one’s water leap from one’s tray table. I felt tense and anxious instantly, but spent a moment talking myself down by remembering points simul morbid, funny and helpful made to me by a pilot a handful of years ago about what feels dangerous on a plane versus what actually is.
Let’s write.
