How to become fearless of pain?!


Question: How to become fearless of pain?
I do parkour / Free running for those of you that knows what it is. Now parkour includes alot of pain if you fail. Personally, I havent hit myself that hard yet to feel anxiety about Parkour or certain tricks like backflips, wallrun, frontflips....

My question is, however:
I am to damn afraid to do spinning tricks, on the ground and / or from a ledge down to the ground.
( No snow here, talking plain concrete or grass. ) I don't know why, but my greatest guess is that my mind simply wont ******* let me. I have searched all over the net but I can't find a concrete answer or way to deal with it, as it is now, Im not getting anywhere. How do you remove fear of falling and possibly breaking an arm or your neck?

How do you remove anxiety or fear of dying or getting in pain?

Are there any pills, methods, or other ways to deal with it?

I basically want to remove everything called "FEAR" from my body. I dont care if its medication, drugs, legal or illegal. Help me out here, Im kept from having sex with my dreams here.

If I get the problem solved and I can do anything without being afraid, the one that helped me, legaly or illegaly can expect a hefty sum of $ or NOK, dinars, anything in that case.

Overcoming fear is not about being fearless, it's about not letting the natural fear you have control your actions.
In your case, you should simply practice the stunts you want to do in a safer (softer) place, gradually working your way up to bigger and better moves. Learn your true capabilities, practice them until they are second nature, and then anything within that range will hold no dread for you. Gymnasts take that approach, and they are eventually capable of truly awesome feats. Just don't go off half ****** and try stuff you haven't trained for.



Do you know who Georges St. Pierre is? He's a UFC fighter, and he has the trait of ignoring pain and being fearless of his enemies. He said in an interview that its basically mind over matter, you have to psych yourself out and make your mind believe that "you are in complete control". Samurai warriors go by the idea that "you should go into battle expecting not to come out alive, and you will succeed. But if you go into battle expecting to come out of it alive, you will fail". Have confidence and don't think about the consequences when it comes to this.

I have noticed with parkouring though that you have to be more balls than brains; do more so than believe, KNOW that you can take anything that happens, and use the best of your abilities to avoid those possible consequences (ie:bodily damage or harm) without keeping in mind of the reprocussions. Try and be like the Punisher and have complete control over all obstacles.

Also, never doubt or deny yourself; but if something seems to great for a person to get accomplished then use mental strategy.
