9招教你应对旅游前焦虑（上）9 Tips to Deal with Pre-Travel Anxiety
Newsflash, you along with everybody else, are going to always fear at least some kind of nervousness before you go away on a trip, so some people have a fear of traveling called hodophobia.
新闻速递，你和大家一样，在出发旅行前都会有一些紧张和不安，因此有些人会有一种旅行恐惧症。
That's not exactly what I'm going to be covering in this video today.
这并不是我今天视频中将要讨论的主要内容。
I'm going to be talking about that pre travel anxiety where you have a desire to travel.
我接下来要讲的，是那种旅行前的焦虑感，一种即使渴望旅行也难以摆脱的紧张情绪。
You've actually booked the trip, but you're starting to get really nervous about going away from home now.
你其实已经预订了行程，但现在开始真的对离家远行感到非常紧张。
It's actually a type of anticipatory anxiety.
实际上，这是一种预期焦虑。
That means you're anticipating problems before they've even begun, and the problem is is that our imaginations are amazing, but they can allow our stresses and worries to get away and run away with us.
这意味着你还没遇到问题就已经开始担忧了。而问题的关键在于，虽然我们的想象力很丰富，但它也可能增加我们的压力和忧虑。
It means we're anticipating problems and issues before we've even run into any.
这意味着在我们还未遇到任何问题之前，就已经开始担心可能出现的问题和挑战。
Now with pre-travel anxiety, it might be that you're naturally an anxious person and it's just rolling over to travel, or it could be that you are specifically worried about traveling only.
现在你旅行前焦虑，可能你本来就比较容易焦虑，这种状态也影响到了你对旅行的看法，或者你只对旅行本身感到担心。
But know this, it is common to feel anxious and nervous before you travel.
不过，请记住，在旅行前感到焦虑和紧张是非常正常的现象。
Everyone does, and that's because there's a lack of control when we travel.
每个人都会感到这样，原因在于旅行时对情况缺乏掌控。
We're out of our normal routine and we're at the mercy of the transportation, the airlines.
我们的日常生活节奏被打乱了，我们要依赖交通工具和航空公司。
We're at the mercy of whether the photographs in the brochures do justice for the hotel room that you're going to be staying in.
我们只能依赖宣传册里的照片，来判断即将入住的酒店房间是否如实，我们完全处于被动。
We don't know if we're going to pick up bugs and get ill when we're traveling, so there's an element of control that it's kind of difficult to let go of.
我们不知道自己是否会感染病菌生病。在旅行中，我们总想保持一定的控制，但这种控制往往很难释怀。
When we're at home or in our safe environment and routine, it might feel boring, but at least it feels safe.
当我们待在家中或处于熟悉的安全环境和日常生活中时，虽然可能感觉有些单调，但至少觉得安心。
But there are some things we can do to help ourselves feel more in control and therefore happier and less stressed before we go on vacation.
不过，在我们出发度假前，我们可以采取一些措施来让自己主宰局面，从而更加快乐、减少压力。
So my first tip is, try and keep up a healthy routine before you go traveling.
因此，我要给出的第一个小贴士就是出游前，尽可能地维持一种健康的生活方式。
By that, I mean eat healthily, exercise regularly, keep up your sleep, hygiene, drink plenty of water, being well fed and healthy will help you feel less stressed when any challenges arise during your travel plans.
我的意思是，要注意健康饮食，定期进行锻炼，保持足够的睡眠和良好的个人卫生，多喝水，保持良好的饮食状态。这样可以帮助你在旅途中遇到任何挑战时，感到更加轻松。
And if nothing else, getting enough sleep is probably the most important thing to help you feel less stressed before your travel.
而且，充足的睡眠是在旅行前减轻压力最重要的方式。
Okay. Number 2 is one that I do all the time, and that is to keep a running list of what you need to get planned and prepared before your trip.
第二条我一直在做，就是在旅行前制定一份待办事项清单，列出所有需要规划和准备的事情。
I literally keep a running list of this.
我一直有保持更新这样一份清单。
It's at me. It's at my hands at all times because I could just start thinking, "Oh yeah. I really really need to remember to do that before I go away."
这个就在我身边，在我手边。因为我随时可能会开始思考。“哦，对啊。我必须确保在离开前，一定要记得去做那件事。”
If I don't have my paper and my list, then I'll forget that. And then that runs around in my head.
如果我没带着那份资料和清单，我就肯定会忘记。然后那件事就在我脑海里挥之不去。
And I worry about it.
我就会对此感到焦虑。
So keep a running list, an inventory of all the things that you have to plan before you go away, because we do have to plan a lot more.
因此，记得带上一份清单，列出所有你需要完成的事项。在离开前先做好计划，毕竟我们有很多事情需要提前规划。
And by the way, there are plenty of other people's packing lists to work off of if you Google packing lists, or if you look on Pinterest for other people's packing lists.
顺便说一句，如果你搜索整理清单，或在 Pinterest 上浏览别人的整理清单，你会发现很多可供借鉴。
And I find there is a really good helpful starting point.
我认为这是一个非常好且实用的起点。
Another idea is to start a travel journal before you even go away on your trip, and if you have children with you, get a travel journal for each one of them.
另一个建议是，在你旅行前就开始写旅行日记，如果有带孩子的话，给每个孩子都准备一本。
Now remember, it doesn't just have to be writing, you can draw in there, you can add like travel tickets in there, you can put photographs in there once you print them off at the end of your trip, and you can make it a really nice journal to hold on to for years to come.
请记住，旅行日记不仅限于文字记录，你还可以在里面绘画，加入旅途中的门票。旅行结束后还可以贴入照片，使其成为一个珍藏多年的精美日志。
And not only that when you write things down, when you're nervous or even excitable, it's going to be helpful to put those experiences down on paper, because it helps us work through our emotions and process situations more easily.
更重要的是，当你感到紧张或激动时，将感受和经历写下来，能够帮助你理清情绪、更顺畅地处理各种情况。
So don't just use your travel journal while you're traveling.
所以，不要仅在旅行途中才使用你的旅行日记。
Use a travel journal in your run up to planning for the trip as well.
在旅行筹备阶段，也别忘了利用旅行日记。【贝贝英语网为您分享】
