hey Beth you should analyzed Kim dracula make me famous official video it's well let's just say it has 500,000 views in 3wks. and awesome jump!!
If I were you to help fear choose random bucketlist things to help it
My questions would be, since you now did a bungee jump, by rationale, it should be easier doing it a second time. So would you ever do another one? If not, is it because there isn't really anything to gain since this was about getting past that fear? Or I guess a way to put it is… is there a way to embrace this as more than a one-and-done kind of experience?
React to Volbeat Die to Live please!

Despite living in the home of Bungee Jumping (the modern form being created in NZ) I still haven't done it. I would probably enjoy it though.
simply red ….please
Gear is what keeps us safe from harm – real or imagined.
Well done!! I donβt know if I could do it
Good for you Beth βΊοΈ Youβre braver than I am! ππΈ
Fear will stop you, will encase you and hold you back…. Most people are not successful because they fear success because that involves comment and reasonability. I've been in jail at work release and seen young people "screw up" a week, a day before getting out. And I firmly believe that they intentionally sabotage themselves out of fear. Of getting our to a world where you have no friends left, and You've burned bridges with family. At least inside you got a bed and a non human approved food.
You are the best thing of life. But voice coachning jack vidgen, you can not
Very brave, my sister Beth had a boyfriend who's business was bungee jumping around Maine and new England , she broke up with him, now she owns a dog daycare, I've never jumped, but it wouldn't bother me , I have no fear of heights, just the cord breaking
I love the quote from the Will Smith move which is:
βFear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice.β
Bungee is awesome. Did once in South Africa and was one of the best experiences of my life. Congratz Beth!
I'd rather sky dive with a parachute. Seems safer, and more fun π
Kudos to you!
Rock climbing years ago my friend made a significant comment, "fear the person without fear for they are the real danger".
There seems to be a flaw in human thinking concerning whether or not it would be benefical to be in light or dark on ones way to somewhere. If you are in the dark and you see a light source a distance a ways and suddenly it disappears, wouldn't you know something has happened? Now take the opposite: You are in the light walking towards darkness, do you notice that in the darkness there is another darkness (or a shadow) coming towards you?
Outstanding!
What a brave challenge…..
You already got a overcome with λ²μ§μ ν of a lot of things that you have to get over in your life. And you will be on right track all the time.
My goodness you are so brave! Would you do it again? π€ β€
Respect! Congrats on this epic, short but powerful, journey. I've done a tandem-skydive, but seeing the ground with a bungie jump just takes the fear to the next level for me – weird as that may sound. Well done! And having Kati Mortin on as well (my source of online therapy) is amazing!!!! Love it. I didn't know that you were a fan of the psychological impact/side of activities like this, and most importantly, music as a form of expression.
Please stay on firm ground, you are far too valuable to leave us!!!! It's just not worth it beautiful
Great job Beth!!!! You're an inspiration!

There is a great book entitled, "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker. I URGE you to read it now that you have conquered the bungee jump. It can be life-altering, too. I gave the book for my daughters to read. True stories. In my past work life, I should have been dead many, many times over. I stay aware of my surroundings and use the natural gift of fear to help me. You did a perfect presentation and personal story, Beth. Bravo!
Common sense keeps us safe. Fear needs to be tackled head on. I'm frightened when I leave the house but needs must when it comes to living. Meeting fear is rewarding. Take my course, it costs Β£10,0000 a minute. Not taking my course is common sense. Fear is rewarding. Start a business. Fear of failing will stop you…. Ok, I'm not helping π
I'm pretty sure Roosevelt would have wanted people to be able to do things they fear when the time is right and not just for its own sake. I don't know why you seem to think that what you are saying contradicts that. If you have the understanding of what fear is about, then you can decide whether your instincts are actually what need to be followed now, and indeed, you can use them as information, not necessarily as a deterrent, depending on the situation. What you don't want is a situation where something drastic is called for and you are not up to the task. Sometimes, those situations involve fear and that is when you need to decide that fear, while it gives you warnings, doesn't get to the heart of the situation in a way that your rationality does appreciate. That ultimately, you make the decision, not the fear; the fear may be there, but you get to decide whether you will go away from it, or go into it. It goes without saying that you want to use this power intelligently and not foolishly. At least, some would have thought…
Besides, if fear is so useful, then having fear of fear would make sense anyway, right? You being scared of fear would mean that, again, your body is instinctively warning you about something, in this case fear itself. It could be useful to have such a warning in the same way you seem to lay out, since fear has potential upsides and downsides one should not look at carelessly. It's just kind of an interesting meta way of looking at things. From the fear of fear you can begin to bring attention to the possible problems of your fear, before, perhaps, trusting that fear.
There are a lot of ways of accepting the quote and integrating the things (virtues or otherwise) you are saying about fear.
Your famous countryman, the Big Yin, did once a bungee jump completely in the nude, but thats Billy for you. Well done , lass ( sorry, could not help myself π)
You did something I will never do willingly at this point in my life, Iβm glad to have watched you share your process of concurring a fear and doing something that will be a lasting memory and experience. May I add that you look so cute doing all the things you do.
Beth is really beautiful β€
I perfer to keep my ribcage where it is – not pulled up around my wrists over my head on recoil π π
Whoβs up for some skydiving?
