Fear or excitement? Reframing emotions for solo travel

Fun fact 👉 Did you know that both *fear* and *excitement* are arousal emotions?⁠ 😮⁠ This is something I always keep in mind when traveling, as I'm constantly stepping out of my comfort zone, trying new things, and visiting new places on my own.⁠ 🤸⁠ So when your palms start sweating and your heartbeat quickens, you can do an exercise called “anxiety reappraisal" and swap that “I’m so anxious!” with “I’m so excited!"⁠ 🥳⁠ It's one of my favorite tactics for keeping stress at bay as a solo traveler!
