It can be helpful to make a to-do list that includes tasks you need to complete before your trip. This might include arranging care for a pet, doing laundry, or purchasing certain items for your trip. Checking off items once they’re completed can help you feel more in control and will also let you see what you have accomplished. Packing at the last minute can be a source of considerable stress that starts off your journey on the wrong foot. Have your bags ready to go the day before your trip.  You can also make a list of items to be packed before doing the actual packing or pack slowly over a few days rather than all at once. Separate things you’ll need to keep out between the time you pack and the time you leave like a toothbrush. If packing causes you stress, consider using a sample packing list, which can be found online. This may help you get the ball rolling. Any items that you’ll need to have on hand during the trip, such as your keys, wallet, phone, phone charger, and travel tickets, should be gathered ahead of time. Make them visible so that they can't be missed, but keep them clear of children, pets, or housemates who might confuse them for their own belongings. For many forms of travel, you will be seated for long periods of time, typically in a confined space. Wearing restrictive clothing can make matters worse and increase your stress. This physical discomfort could trigger the effects of your anxiety disorder.  Prioritize your comfort over looking good. Loose-fitting jeans, sweatpants, shorts, t-shirts and sweatshirts are all good options for a comfortable trip. Consider the temperature when dressing. It may be hard to know ahead of time what the temperature in the vehicle might be like, so consider dressing for a warm temperature and taking a sweatshirt or blanket you can easily throw over yourself if it turns out to be cold. If you are concerned with looking nice, you may want to bring a change of clothes as well as quick grooming items (such as a toothbrush, hair brush, or lipstick) in your carry-on luggage to use when your trip is over. Travel anxiety could distract you from eating well before your flight, but traveling while hungry will amplify your anxiety. On the other hand, a large meal may leave you feeling bloated, tired, or even sick in a confined space. Eat a light meal before you leave so you’re comfortable.  Dehydration can exacerbate anxiety. Drink water beforehand and bring a bottle with you on your trip. If you are flying, you’ll need to buy the water at the airport past the security checkpoint.  Sliced fruit, yogurt, baby carrots, celery, and nuts are great options to provide healthy energy for your trip. These foods are also relatively easy to take with you to eat during the trip.  Avoid foods that might give you gas or bloating. These include dairy products, bran, legumes like beans or lentils, and cruciferous vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, artichokes or onions. You should also avoid anything with a lot of grease, trans fat, or sugar. If you have an early trip, set your alarm as soon as possible so you don’t forget. You can also set an alarm for when you have to leave for the trip itself. Anxiety disorder can cause you to obsess about being on time so you don’t miss your flight. Therefore, knowing you have the alarm set could ease that anxiety. If you have a friend or family member that typically rises early, ask if they will call you to ensure you are awake. Leave for your trip early so you don’t add unnecessary anxiety when you hit traffic or other unexpected hindrances. If you get there early, you can spend a while sitting and relaxing to center yourself before you board your vehicle.

You’ll need a freezer-safe, shallow pan or bowl to make the ice cream. Before you begin making the base, place the container in the freezer to chill it for 3 to 6 hours. A stainless steel pan that’s approximately 9 by 13 inches (23 by 33 cm) works well for making the ice cream. After you’ve broken up the ice cream into creamier texture, cover it again and return it to the freezer. Let it chill for another 20 to 30 minutes and then mix it again. Repeat this process another 3 to 4 times until the ice cream is firm but still creamy and smooth. If you’d like to add crumbled cookies, brownies, or candy to the ice cream, mix them in by hand just before the last time you return the ice cream to the freezer.
