For as long as I can remember, I have had a fear of flying. I’m not sure how the fear began as we never utilized air travel when I was growing up. Perhaps it started to manifest as a child after only seeing airplanes mentioned on the news when they had crashed or encountered some other horrific tragedy. The origin doesn’t matter much as I have insisted that I’ve been afraid to fly for years! Today, I found myself reevaluating my fear of flying, and I had the revelation that flying is actually pretty cool, and I’m not truly afraid of it! After having this revelation, I thought of a few things that might help others to reevaluate fears in their lives:
- We often mix up emotions. Have you ever mistaken anxious for excited? What about afraid for unknowledgeable?
- Are you actually afraid, or is it a lie your brain has told you so much that you believe it?
- What is a practical step you could take to conquering a fear?
Happy reevaluating!
