She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and accepting your fear of flying as a common experience shared by many individuals. Gina encourages listeners to educate themselves about flying, including learning about plane mechanics, safety procedures, and statistics to alleviate anxiety associated with the unknown.\n\nFurthermore, Gina advises identifying specific triggers of flying-related anxiety and developing targeted coping strategies. She recommends practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness meditation to manage stress levels and promote relaxation before and during flights. Gradual exposure to flying-related stimuli can help desensitize individuals to the experience, starting with smaller steps like watching takeoff and landing videos or driving to the airport.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
