A fear of flying is getting increasingly common among humans amid rising news on aviation disasters, and Jennifer Aniston is no different. While speaking to Travel + Leisure, the actor described her ideal vacation as “a white sandy beach and clear, crystal-blue water.” However, to fully enjoy this getaway, Aniston needs to calm her nerves while flying.
Jennifer Aniston confessed to her “extreme fear of flying,” along with a superstition that helps her with the anxiety. To overcome the fear, “The Morning Show” star revealed that she habituated herself to tapping the outside of the aircraft with her right palm before entering with her right foot. The actor eventually clarified that she turned to hypnosis, which helped her relieve herself of this unfounded belief while traveling.
Jennifer Aniston further shared her tips on overcoming the fear of flying. The actor confessed to getting through long-hour flights with the help of breathwork. She said, “Plugging into a good meditation can get you through.” Aside from this, she also relied on walking or doing some stretches that helped with the “extreme fear.”
The “Murder Mystery” actress also spoke about another travel habit she hoped to get rid of. Calling herself “notoriously an over-packer,” Jennifer Aniston confessed to working on packing less. However, this habit of hers might not help her, but it certainly comes in handy for her girlfriends. She said, “My girlfriends really appreciate me because they can usually borrow all of my things that they have forgotten—I’m providing a service!”
Jennifer Aniston also described her perfect vacation as walking around the Paris streets and enjoying outdoor cafes. The actor stressed the importance of traveling, given that one gets to experience different cultures and meet new people outside of the “little bubble” we live in.
