Travelling can be a source of a lot of stress for many people. Whether it
is the occasional drive on a motor way that freaks you out, or the everyday
ordeal of being squashed on a commuter train, there are techniques at your
disposal that can help relax you when travelling.
Sucking is a mint is a great way to distract your senses, especially if
you are prone to feeling nauseous.
When driving, make sure you are sitting comfortably. Don't clench the
steering wheel tightly, but lightly hold it and feed it around as you turn
corners.
If travel sickness is a problem, then make it easier on yourself by
carrying a paper bag with you. Knowing that you have an option should you be
sick, means not having to worry about making it to a toilet on a train or
plane.
Listen to relaxing music on the car stereo, or on a portable music player
if you on public transport. But always remember that your relaxation should
infringe on other people's, so adjust your volume to an appropriate level.
If your stress comes from a particular fear or phobia, then hypnosis
maybe able to help you with your problem.
