I've written a bit about how afraid I am and why I am afraid, but this blog is supposed to be about feeling untethered. I still feel quite tethered, so I need to start focusing on what I can do to loosen up.
One of the things that I've done in the past that seems to help a little is to watch takeoff videos on youtube. If you crank up the sound loud enough, the videos definitely help to stimulate the senses. If you search for takeoff and the airport closest to your house, you are more than likely to find a video or two. If you can watch takeoff videos over and over and feel calm, you're that much closer to not feel as scared or overwhelmed on a flight.
Here are a few examples:

By the way, I chose takeoffs because those are the worst for me. However, if landings do you in, search for landings and your favorite airport of choice.
