Why traveling has empowered me

Traveling has empowered me and given me many great things including opening up my mind to new places, different people and being more tolerant, but most of all it has really empowered me to have the confidence to make my own decisions and to trust in myself.

When I first started traveling it was on my own and I had to conquer my fear of flying, unfamiliar places, being shy, fear of making wrong decisions all by myself. It was a very stressful experience.

What I found was that even after my first long flight that I felt already that I was brave and my confident rose and from there I took each challenge in its stride. Sometimes I made wrong decisions but even then I learnt to live and learn and go on.

When you travel solo it forces you to stand on your own two feet and think for yourself. Your self confidence increases as you go along and your self image takes a big step up.

I have traveled quite a lot since then but it was my first trip away where I noticed the big difference in myself. When I returned I found it easier to trust my own judgment and make decisions that I couldn't have done before I left. I now have travel confidence to go where I want and when I want.

Traveling is a great joy to me and I am fortunate that I am able to afford the luxury of traveling but for me the greatest advantage of traveling has been the raising of my own self image and I truly believe that it has empowered me to be a more confident and outgoing person. I have conquered the FEAR of flying, enclosed places and heights which has really given me great satisfaction.

I am always on the lookout for new ways to keep my stress levels down and especially when Im traveling.

I have found that relaxation music played on my ipod does a great job and keeps me from over breathing. I use the relaxation music that I download and listen to at least a few days before I leave on my vacations and of course at the airport. It works a treat for me and was the best method I have used in comparison with taking a sedative which makes me groggy. These days you need to be 'on the ball' at the airport and at your destination.

I hope this post helps you on your next trip away.

If you find it difficult to get comfortable on long journeys or hard to relax when you travel by plane, a travel pillow can make a world of difference. A good pillow that supports your neck will help you get there rested.
