The strategy that has worked best for me is to keep myself occupied during the flight, either with movies or reading. I still get nervous before the flight, but one the plane is in the air I'm fine. Like most things in life, we tend to imagine the worst case, regardless of how likely it is. Flying is much safer than most modes of transport, and it gets safer every year. Enjoy your flight :) Hi Chloe,

I had a major procrastination problem and found that the key to fighting it was controlling my thought process just as you did. The most common reason for procrastination is fear. If I was overwhelmed by something then I just changed thought to myself "I really want to do this, what is the best way I can achieve it?" This really worked and my subconscious came up with ideas on how I could best tackle the situation. It also calmed me down which is very important. Graham What a great story.
