Have you ever been in a airplane when it is changing directions ? Usually there is a drop in altitude . There may even be some turbulence which will cause your stomach to flip and your heart to flutter . There is a lost of speed . Or the plane may pick up speed and then drop , suddenly and unexpectedly , which can be frightening . Changing directions in life is like hitting a turbulence in the air , and fear is the normal response to the turbulence caused by the change . Things are going to be rough for a while , but you must hold on and ride it out .

When the turbulence of change hits you , make believe you are a pilot , well trained and experienced , able to ride out the turbulence until a tailwind takes you up again .If that doesn't work , make believe you are a stewardess . Keep yourself calm , give yourself encouragement , stand firmly and confidently that all is well , no matter how rough it gets . If you are afraid of flying , just lay down on the floor , cover your head , and do not worry about the turbulence .
