Positive Affirmations for Problematic Airline Passengers
When being self-centered keeps you spiritually centered.
Becoming emotionally healthy begins with forgiving the mistakes of others. To board with Group 1 is to forgive the ticket agent for accidentally printing “Group 4” on my boarding pass
I am responsible for my own happiness, and refuse to allow others to limit it. My state’s legal drinking limit doesn’t apply if I’m 10,000 miles above it.
Failure to plan is a plan to fail. The failure to plan this family vacation belongs to everyone on this plane. Therefore, we will all rearrange our seats so my family can sit together.
Full spiritual freedom comes only with the removal of physical constraints. Which is why I can’t put my shoes or socks back on until the plane lands.
Physical space is a construct of the mind. If I truly believe I can fit a full-size suitcase in the overhead compartment, I have already made it true.
Selfishness imprisons the spirit when it monopolizes pleasure. To wear headphones or earbuds is to deny other passengers the pleasure of the music I’m listening to.
The way other people see me does not define my true worth. If the flight attendant keeps warning me not to seat myself in first class, that does not mean I am not a first-class person.
The universe delivers emotional support through unexpected vessels. If I don’t have papers for my elderly incontinent chihuahua who has a tendency to bite, that doesn’t make her emotional support less valid than a “trained” animal’s.
Breathing through stress brings peace to the body and mind. Disabling the smoke alarm so I can have a cigarette in the restroom is an act of self-care.
Spontaneity is the essence of keeping the heart young. Grabbing the plane’s intercom and putting on a show is my gift to the flight.
Stillness is the garden, relaxation is the seed. Keeping my seat fully reclined from wheels up to wheels down allows that garden to flourish.
Today, in this moment, I own my own physicality. To shove people aside as soon as the plane lands so I can be first to grab my overhead luggage is a way of claiming my space.
