Traveling with anxiety

[iamtina1997]

Next week, I will he taking a trip for the first time in a while. The trip is for work and I am so nervous about being nervous! (the cycle never stops) Does anyone have any tips on how to keep calm and enjoy traveling while fighting off bad anxiety ?

What helps me sometimes to feel more in control and less overwhelmed by the big picture is break it down into steps and then focus on each one at a time… Like make a list of what you need to pack… Write out the process of going through the airport and mentally visualize doing it ...When I break it down into smaller tasks I found I can do almost anything for 30 seconds at a time
