RE: Skiing Fun - Except the Chairlift   

• Dear Jane, Hi! I recently went skiing with my family, and I had a great time racing down the slopes. The only part that bothered me was the chairlift. As soon as it rose, my stomach dropped, and my hands gripped the bar. I knew it was safe, but the height made me tense. I tried focusing on the mountains and breathing slowly, but it wasn’t easy. Do you ever feel this way on rides or in high places? I’d love any tips you have. Talk soon, Peter Dear Peter, It’s nice to hear from you again. I get it. I’m afraid of heights, too. I get especially nervous on cable cars. Seeing the ground far below makes me anxious, and my imagination goes wild. When that happens, it usually helps to sit in the middle and chat with someone nearby to stay distracted. Small things like that really help.
