Practicing to Overcome Fear
Nik Wallenda successfully crossed over Niagara Falls as high as 135 feet (41,15 meters) to run on top of the steel wire measuring 2 inches (about 5 cm). What a thrilling action. It looks like Nik has no fear. However, it turns out he doesn't think of himself as someone who brave. Nik Wallenda has fear too.
According to him, what he does is art, not as people who lose their fear. He Though, "people who have no fear is people doing something what others don"t, but never practiced in the slightest." While Wallenda train hard for months before actually doing the action.
"Basically Wallenda's brain is no different to the other human brain. But someone learns to compromise with the pressure and fear in different ways, "says Jeff Wise, author of Extreme Fear: The Science of Your Mind in Danger.
There is no rational fear. He does not come from prefrontal cortex; our brain processing of emotions in parallel. So, if most people will feel the heart beating immediately, for fear of falling even dead, but someone like a Wallenda know how to control, for him it's just like walking on the edge of the sidewalk.
The fact, Wallenda walking on the rope has been a very long time (since the age of 2 years, or even before he was born. Everything is natural.
Wallenda also recognizes what it does. So for the last 6 months, she trained hard with crossed straps with the same distance but closer to the ground. At that time he was already visualizing himself crossing the Grand Canyon. Until he actually crossed in the Grand Canyon, he imagines himself being turn them over to the practice. (Discovery)

Mental Health and Improving Your Personal Life
Your mental health is an amazing part of what makes you as a person. Personal development is a way of life that effects your mind, actions, and how you treat others around you. It plays a vital role on your over-all well being and the relationships around you. Often times, we get so caught up in the physical aspects of what’s on the outside and forget to take care of the inside. Exercising our brain consciously and subconsciously is an important factor when improving one’s life and creating a healthy state of mind as we age. When a person is depressed, stressed, tired, and frustrated it effects everything we do as well as the people closest to us. I remember someone telling me in a depressed state, that she couldn’t even watch television because she didn’t want to watch the living. When I get down, I often think of that comment and it reminds me of a place I don’t ever want to be. Isolating yourself for others could turn into something very dangerous and unfortunately help will only start with one person. YOU! Although there is a laundry list of books and professional help, also recommended, but if this article gives you a jump start to just get you slightly motivated to move forward, then moving an inch is greater than lying still.
