Here are some additional practical things you can do in terms of your mindset to overcome your fear of solo travel:
• Meditation
Meditation can also help you deal with fear, because it allows you to learn to be present and not be so overwhelmed by emotions all the time.
• Exercise
Exercise helps a lot with anxiety and to calm the mind, making fear not be as strong or have such a strong effect on you.
• Make affirmations and visualizations
Imagine yourself enjoying your trip and tell yourself things like “I enjoy traveling alone”, “Traveling alone is easy and natural for me”.
Your brain will naturally look for ways (solutions) to validate those statements if you repeat them over and over again.
Focus on positive statements, rather than phrases like “I’m not afraid to travel alone”.
Your subconscious doesn’t process the “no” part of a sentence like that (i.e., you’re telling your subconscious “I’m afraid to travel alone”!), so it’s better to use affirmative statements.
All of these things can help you be in a good frame of mind when it comes to solo travel.
In my next post I’ll tell you about a simple adjustment you can make to your mindset to beat the fear of solo travel.
All the best,
