Conquering Your Fear of Roller Coasters
Are you a thrill-seeker who wants to enjoy rides on a roller coaster, but are restrained by your fear? If so, you are not alone! Many people find the intense feeling of being on a roller coaster uncomfortable, and experience a range of emotions such as fear, anxiety, and panic. Fortunately, with the right approach and attitude, you can conquer your fear and enjoy the ride.
Steps to Overcome Your Fear of Roller Coasters
- Take incremental steps - Don’t jump straight into taking an intense ride on a roller coaster with big drops and loops. Start with smaller, milder rides and build up gradually, at a pace that is comfortable for you.
- Understand what causes your fear - Some people feel fear because of fear of heights, while others due to feeling of being out of control. Become aware of the cause of your fear and take steps to challenge your irrational thoughts.
- Visualize the successful outcomes - Take some time to visualize yourself being calm and in control of the situation when riding a roller coaster. Doing this a few times may help reframe your belief about the ride and reduce the fear.
- Meditate before riding the coaster - A few minutes of meditation can have calming effects on the mind and body. Take a few minutes to focus your attention on your breath and use relaxation techniques to help set the right attitude for the roller coaster ride.
- Go with a friend - Having a friend accompany you to the ride can make you feel more in control and fun. Talk to your friend and distract yourself from worrying thoughts.
- Reward yourself - After you complete the ride, celebrate and reward yourself. Come up with a unique reward that is meaningful and motivates you for the next ride.
