Sky Diving on the Fly
While many people plan for long periods of time to go sky diving before they actually go ahead and take the plunge, many others find that what they need is the exact opposite. A lot of people claim that it is not a decision to be taken lightly, but on the other hand, it isn’t something to brood over either.
Should part of the training preparation be a psychological investigation hoping to find out if the person is mentally prepared for what they are about to do? It seems that everyone has a different opinion about it, but the vast majority of people who’ve actually done it are pretty often the ones who say that it’s a decision to be made in an instant.
Of course you feel insecurity when the door opens and you’re standing there ready to jump. Of course it feels like you made the wrong decision as self-doubt floods your mind; however, the feeling as you fly towards the Earth is unmatched on Earth.
Making the big Decision
If you’ve thought about sky diving in the past and have never let yourself truly seriously consider the ins and outs of doing it, it’s time that you let your mind wander through the ifs, ands, and buts in order to find out if you’re ready for sky diving or not.
Many people have an instant aversion when the topic of sky diving is brought up. If you are one of these ‘never in a million years!’ people, then look no further. Your decision is obvious. However, if you falter back and forth between yes, no and maybe, you should sit down and give it some serious thought. Talking about it is also a good strategy to find out what you really think about it deep inside.
Something you might want to ask yourself is what it is about sky diving that is exciting to you. Likewise, you’ll want to think through your reasoning for NOT doing it. Understanding both sides of the coin often helps people to see which side of the coin they are more heavily attached to.
Of course, you shouldn’t push yourself into going sky diving if you don’t want to, just like you shouldn’t let somebody else convince you to do it. On the other hand, if your inner child is dying to do it and the responsible mother in you is afraid, you just might want to ask that inner child how badly she wants to come out. The answer just might surprise you.
