thankful#103: essential oils - flight anxiety mix

I hate flying. It gets worse every time I do it. My anxiety about this trip to Great Falls started the second I got off the phone with Catherine about booking my flight - it may have actually started while we were still talking about it. Thankfully, I was pretty preoccupied with my nerves about Dagny's flying capabilities, but that didn't completely erase my serious anxiety about the flight itself. However, I looked in my essential oils books and found a mix specifically for anxiety about flying. I put a drop of lavender and a drop of geranium on a cotton ball and put it in a ziplock bag. When my anxiety hit, I took opened the bag and inhaled as deeply as I could. It was absolutely amazed at how fast I felt like the aroma helped my situation. I immediately lost my anxiety! That was the first time in a long time that I have not felt overwhelmed with anxiety while flying ... there may be hope for my future travels.
