How to skydive
How I did it: My wife has always wanted to do this, and I've always been curious enough to want to do it, but I've long had a fear of heights that concerned me. Last year a friend with a strong phobia went skydiving after her husband shared his experience, letting her know he didn't think it would actually activate her phobias, and she had a great time!
I was inspired by her story, so I was now willing, and it was our 19th wedding anniversary, so what the hell. I drove my wife there without telling her anything until we pulled in the driveway to the skydiving place. She flipped - in a good way. It was a truly fabulous experience.
Lessons & tips: My wife got the video made, which is great to have. I didn't get it because I didn't want to perform for the camera - I wanted to just enjoy it. I think either way is great, so follow your instincts.
Go ahead and do it. Your fears are unjustified, and they probably won't be a real issue.
