I know it's cold comfort to know that it's still the safest way to travel, so I won't lean in to that. I guess what took me into my early 30s to truly learn is that worrying and anxiety won't prevent the future from happening, it only prevents you from enjoying the present. Having said that, it's human to worry but it's a problem when it takes over your life. One strategy I've used is allowing myself to worrying for a set period of time, breathing, focusing on what's important, forgiving myself for it, allowing it to pass, and then moving on. As a father of a teenager and a preteen, I also try to be aware that anxieties and fears get passed down from parent to child. My mom struggled with anxiety issues and I really try my best to break that cycle with my kids.

To add, it's important to reflect on the anxiety and worry.
