In many cases, just the mere thought of motion causes many individuals to feel like they are spinning out of control. To alleviate such symptoms, close your eyes, recline if possible, and breathe slowly and deeply.

Whenever possible, try to focus on a distant point out the window to help maintain a sense of equilibrium.
