Travel anxiety

Hi!

I’m leaving to travel for 2 weeks tomorrow and I don’t know why, but I feel so anxious and not excited one bit. Usually I’m excited to travel, but ever since I had one bad experience traveling that’s all that I can think of. Last time I had extreme anxiety half way through my trip and just wanted to sit in my hotel room. I just keep thinking about what if the same thing happens this time. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated!

It's natural sadly this bad experience is triggering more anxiety for you, but tell yourself, this was only experience, it doesn't define everything.

It doesn't mean it shall happen again.

Tell yourself, I'm ok, this will pass, I'm safe, I got through it.

Listen to your favourite music and allow this to drown out the overwhelming thoughts and focus on packing and telling yourself what you are looking forward to a d to allow yourself to get excited about the fun possibilities and adventures you might have!

Focus on that!

I wish you the best, a safe journey and a happy one!

Genuinely, enjoy, you've got this!
