1. Pack a spare set of clothes. You never know when you might need to swap an article of clothing or a full outfit chnage when the flight attendant accidentally spills a drink on you (This isn't a slide on all the amazing attendants out there - just an accident that could happen, as it did to me once. I was extremely grateful for the dry change of clothes in my carry on!). Not to mention if your luggage gets lost - at least you will have one days worth of clean clothes until your suitcase arrives or you can find a shop to buy a new set - I have been through both of these scenarios too. Of course, since it is going into your carry on, you may need to choose clothing that is lightweight, packs up small, and possibly wrinkle resistant. 2. Toothbrush. Floss and/or picks. Toothpaste. Travel sized of course. What a mouth saver! Because there's nothing worse than getting food stuck where you can't dislodge it without jamming your fingers in your mouth - an action that should be avoided while travelling to mitigate those pesky germs from infiltrating your immune system! ;D. 3. Entertainment. Sure you can plug into most seats nowadays and many larger planes have screens/content to watch. However, smaller planes don't have them or your deat TV might be on the fritz. In which case, you will be SOL and twiddling your thumbs if you can't sleep. Grab your headphones, download your content before gping to the airport (i recommend the night before), pack your book(s), writing or coloring/drawing tools, or puzzle books. Personally, I like a mix of digital and tangible(no screen) activities - too much digital can make my eyes or head hurt but on the flip side too much book reading can make me nauseous- hence options to switch it up :D . Plus it makes tike seem to go by faster too. 4. Slumber planning - short haul or long haul, if you can sleep on a plane go for it! Just try to make it as ergonomic as you can. 5. A foot sling or hammock for your feet! This is for the shorties out there - this magical device will save your legs! #carryonbags #travellife #easytravels #carryontravel

1. Forget about layering. Lots of times we think of being inside an airport, plane, or vehicle where temperatures are consistent. However, in my travels, I have found that the temperature fluctuates a decent amount between vessels and you can't always rely on consistency. plus as we age, some of us, tend to run hotter from time to time 😆. So, dressing layers is ideal. Lightweight layers if you can. The easier it is to remove and replace a layer, the more comfortable you will be when your air vent above doesn't open up or is stuck on full blast at your head. haha. Bonus tip: clothing with a lot of pockets can be super helpful and if they are in/on a removable layer,that will help you get through security faster (otherwise you might have to empty them all into the bins - note from personal experience 🥺☺️ 2. Prioritizing looks over comfort. Although many like to look their best while travelling, sometimes that comes at a cost of comfort. Quite honestly, in all my years of pond hoping - not one person has cared what I look like or what clothes I was wearing. perhaps my travels partners? and even then, there is an almost unspoken understanding that if you look more disheveled than an ogre, it just means you've put in some super long travel hours and likely you will get asked where going to or from and strike up a conversation. So ditch the high fasion and put on your light layers that have room to expand or contract. Edema (water retention) is quite common because of the extended sedentary periods. Find your flexible. 3. Flash footwear. Oh! What you wear on your feet matters so much for your travelling joy. Hot, heavy shoes or boots need to stay at home. Go for easy on& off shoes. Although security rules are ever changing, some places still require you to remove your footwear through security scans. Personally, I find it helpful to slip off my shoes if I get too hot or on a really long flight. Sandals can work too if you're not prone to cold feet - ladies? 😄 Orthotics or arch supports can help you walk longer in comfort as well.

When your brain feels like a browser with 75 tabs open, that’s your nervous system screaming for safety.

Here are cues for 5 physical practices that require zero meditation experience but offer near-instant relief. Read full details on my blog page under "grounding & mindfulness" Which one helps you anchor best? let me know below! #somatichealing #polyvagaltheory #stressresponse #groundingtechnique #holisticwellness mindfulnesspractice
