6 Things I Do to Prepare for Every Flight
I’ve spent a lot of hours in the air. Showings and interviews in Los Angeles, speaking engagements across the country, a TEDx stage in South Africa, and seven continents ahead of me in November.
Somewhere along the way I stopped treating flying as something that happens to me and started treating it as something I prepare for.
Because how you travel is how you arrive.
Here’s the ritual.
Water first, then electrolytes.
Cabin air at 35,000 feet is drier than most deserts, and dehydration is the reason you land foggy, puffy, and depleted. Every ounce I drink before takeoff pays me back on landing.
I don’t skip them because I’m in an airport.
Magnesium, vitamin C, my daily stack — packed in my carry-on, taken on time.
Consistency is what makes them work.
A supplement you take when it’s convenient isn’t a supplement.
It’s a suggestion.
Under-eye patches, hydrating serum, and I never skip the neck.
The neck tells the truth — take care of it.
Yes, I do this in seat 3A.
No, I’m not embarrassed.
Age is just an attitude, and so is the willingness to look slightly ridiculous in service of arriving well.
A massage at the airport before a long-haul resets everything. And a massage on arrival isn’t indulgence, it’s recovery.
Circulation is the whole game when you’re about to be still for eleven hours.
Move on both ends and you land ready, not wrecked.
Bulkhead if I’m not up front.
Neck pillow.
Headphones with meditation music.
I don’t fly to be entertained — I fly to arrive restored.
That flight is four, eight, sixteen hours you’ll never get back. Decide in advance what you want them to do for you.
Water, movement, and a reset before I do anything else.
Not the inbox.
Not the phone.
The first hour on the ground sets the tone for the whole trip.
The people who arrive sharp aren’t lucky and they aren’t younger than you.
They decided ahead of time.
That’s all a ritual is — a decision you’ve already made, so you don’t have to make it while you’re tired.
Motion creates clarity. Clarity builds confidence. Confidence produces results.
How you travel is how you arrive.
What’s your non-negotiable travel ritual? Tell me in the comments.
I’m always collecting.
