I'm back and woke up in my own bed after a very early morning arrival.

Travel and anxiety are not a good mix. Although everything went smoothly, I was nervous throughout the trip which included 2 hours on a bus and 4 hours on a plane.

Looking back at just the return trip, I can see how much I amplified what was happening which caused my anxiety but I also realized that I can't stop that process of amplification as well. It's really strange. I can see when others are doing it to themselves but I can't see it for myself or modify my thoughts to reduce the effect.
