This harried traveler learned the ironic lesson that finding airport zen can backfire in a hurry! As the tweet describes, they ducked into the airport chapel hoping to meditate away some pre-flight stress.
Unfortunately, their quest for relaxation only ramped up their anxiety when they emerged too late to board in time for coveted overhead bin space. Oops! Just imagine them calmly chanting their om only to jolt up finding they’d missed the last call for boarding. So much for lowered blood pressure!
While the idea to meditate was well-intentioned, it seems they found a bit too much airport inner peace and lost track of the takeoff clock. Let their comical misstep be a reminder to balance relaxation with awareness when preparing for flights! Sometimes a few mindful breaths by the gate works better than a full meditation hiding away in the chapel. Most importantly, set a timer so you don’t miss the flight altogether!
