Changes in Latitude…Tips on Breathing Easier While Navigating Today’s Travel Chaos

When it comes to travel, there’s some good news and some meh. Good first: According to a New York Times report earlier this week, the overall experience of travel has improved since the beginning of the summer – so maybe no more “toothbrush-in-pocket” overnights at JFK as you jet off to your next getaway. Unfortunately, given the nature of today’s post-pandemic beast, we should still prepare for the unexpected. Of course evergreen travel maxims still apply – book an early flight to minimize potential delays and position yourself better to rebook in case of cancellation. But there are also a few novel and mindful suggestions from a global wellness company called RoundGlass that could literally have you breathing easier during your upcoming trip.

Before your next trip, make a stop at the RoundGlass Living app. It’s a free Wholistic Wellness app with an integrated approach to helping people develop healthier habits and live more fulfilling lives. The app’s wide and diverse roster of experts and teachers is committed to giving everyone the tools, insights and attitudes to turn every getaway into a potential journey to your own Wholistic Wellbeing. Here are some travel tips from Roundglass Living about different types of meditation you can use on trains, planes, automobiles and everywhere in between.

Mini-Meditations: These short-form (1-3 minute) meditations are a great way to “reset” as you wait for your flight to finally be called. More than just an accessible quick fix, it can also serve as a gateway into more serious meditation for beginners who might be intimidated by the prospect of longer sessions. At the RoundGlass Living App, search Meditate on the Go or Window Seat Meditation for Travelers.

Take a Deep Breath: One of the most practical solutions to dealing with anxiety is using breathing techniques. Many of us already take three deep breaths when anxiety starts to creep in, but new research is identifying and optimizing a variety of quick breathing techniques to address the immediate demand for relief in moments of stress and anxiety. These can help in just calming yourself momentarily, helping you fall asleep, or for giving you a welcome lift of energy before lift-off! Try Breathwork for Instant Relaxation

Meditation/Mindfulness: Try a dose of mindfulness practice to calm your impatience, stress, or boredom while waiting for your flight to arrive with Guided Sessions to Reduce Stress when Running Late.

As a company deeply rooted in wholistic wellness, RoundGlass wants to help everyone make the most of their travel experiences this year. Because the age-old adage has never been more apt than in today’s hyper-chaotic travel world: “If you’re not enjoying the journey, you probably won’t enjoy the destination.”
