What is the 10 Step Plan?
The 10 Step Plan is an Iwillfly program that reduces fears of flying. I used it to conquer my fear of heights and as a result conquer my fear of flying. The idea is built upon two simple principles. The first states that one must advance slowly and gradually, step by step (Or, in other words- one must advance by means of desensitisation). The second adds that one must familiarize himself with his fears and face them face-to-face. The "10 Step Plan" unites these two principles by enabling you to gradually face your fears.

What should you do?
Here's the deal. Once a week, every week for the next 10 weeks you will set aside to complete one goal that scares you. Remember; start with easier, less frightening goals and gradually progress to more intimidating ones. I, for example, was afraid of heights and so on the first week I started by riding on a glass elevator in a mall.
An important thing to bear in mind is to repeat your goal until you are no longer apprehensive about doing it. It may take minutes or it may take hours, but repeat the task you set for yourself until you are fully desensitised and you don't feel scared to do it again.

What I did
Every week, I would do something more intimidating. I walked over the George Washington Bridge while looking down and I leaned out of a forty-story-high building. I even rode a ferrous wheel. On the ninth week of my 10 Step Plan, I rode an elevator of a seventy-story-high building. Keep in mind that I started out riding an elevator of a four-story-high complex. This is when I realized that the strategy worked. My tenth and final goal was to fly on a short airplane ride. I was then able -for the first time in a very long time- to do so. I flew from New York to Washington on a half hour shuttle and was surprised to find myself almost completely calm. I was hardly nervous at all.
