    Изнурительное противоречие: с одной стороны, пытаться успокоиться, а с другой — подпитывать свой страх катастрофическими мыслями во время каждого полёта.

    Ловушка пиления и сварки

    Why You Exhaust Yourself During Flights

    What does a fearful flier actually do during a flight? You are usually doing two contradictory things at once, which is exhausting.

    Sawing the Metal Ball

    Imagine your fear is a heavy metal ball. You spend the flight trying to "saw" it smaller. You distract yourself, you drink alcohol, you pray, you check the flight attendants' faces. You are desperately trying to calm down.

    Welding the Ball

    At the exact same time, you are adding more metal to the ball. You listen to a noise and think, "That's the engine failing." You feel a bump and think, "We are falling." You recall a news story about a crash.

    You are trying to soothe your nervous system with one hand while terrifying it with the other. This is why you land feeling physically shattered.

    You must learn to drop the saw and stop the welding. You cannot force your autonomic nervous system to calm down by scaring it with catastrophic thoughts.

    Вкратце

    Изнурительное противоречие: с одной стороны, пытаться успокоиться, а с другой — подпитывать свой страх катастрофическими мыслями во время каждого полёта.
