Bungee jump or sky-dive. Just terrifies me. Pretty obvious why, I guess :) Wish I could though. Maybe someday. |

Fear is the mind killer. I fear nothing and constantly seek to push my personal paradigms right to the edge of the abyss. Most fears are self created and therefore easily dispelled. Paleo is about the truth and a lot of people fear that the most. |

A back-flip whenever I felt the urge. But how scary would that be to learn?! |

I wish I could accept that death is an inevitable end of life and overcome that which I fear to lose the most http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_UWv9F6iyU At some point orthorexia needs to yield to acceptance that while the means to the end is arguably within my control, the end is not. The countless hours scouring nutrition and health blogs, continual research, hacking, tweaking, experimentation is ultimately rooted in the inability to accept the inevitable. |

Letting go of this sugar addiction is killing me. The gluten, the carbs, the legumes, the seed oils, the nightshades, the coffee, the alcohol: easy. But I just can't let go of the sugar. I'd also like to squat more often for the toilet, but I'm not sure how to rig up my bathroom, or do it like that at work. |

Learn when to let go of desparately tight conscious control, trust my own innate skills and intuition more often. Listen to my body and the world around me instead of always second guessing and delaying my decisions/actions until I have "just a little bit more information". Making intention and action more fluid when called for. |

I am 6 days into a no-shampoo experiment. I am afraid of what my hair is going to look like in the coming weeks and months. In anticipation of people's looks of disgust, I am also afraid to tell anyone that I'm eschewing the 'poo! |

Take off with my dogs on a long walk on the Pacific Crest Trail. And then just keep going. |

Treating patients barefoot (I walk and run completely barefoot, but somehow, this still is one step too far. Only a little step though...) That, and having sex in the woods... ;-) |

For me it's letting go, I don't have to be perfect all the time, and just flat out trusting me and my instincts. I definitely think that this is a Paleo question as I for one am more in-tune with myself since that change. Examples of what I've done since Paleo that I would not have before: I agreed to make 200 desserts for a wedding in August. I entered my food into a contest. Quit the job that I loved instead of sticking it out due to that love and just eating the bad emotions daily. Nobody wants milk crates, food, and soft goods thrown at them or be verbally abused on a daily basis, right? I've never quit anything in my life. Approached someone in my life nervous and scared as hell, expressing my feelings and wants (badly of course), and having them accept what I offered. I'm excited for what's next and I like this question :) |

Your question's basic premise is that there is a fear, that we are afraid to do something which we would want to do, I digress. ..Its not about being afraid but about knowing the tremendous difference between perfection and totality, and remain 'total' and not necessarily perfect. Perfection is a goal somewhere in the future, totality is an experience here, NOW. Totality is not a goal, it is the style of life. If one can get into any act with one's whole heart, one is total. And totality brings wholeness and totality brings health and totality brings sanity. Where is the room for fear? |

Do an epic hike barefoot -- like the Campo pilgrimage, the Appalachian Trail, or walk across Africa. |

Quit my job and just focus on school. I dont need the money (my wife makes enough to support the both of us) but I've always worked. When I have down time I feel uncomfortable and on edge. I know it would help me SO MUCH to reduce my work volume to below the 55 hrs/week I work now, but I'm afraid to do it. Too many "What if's" to plan for I guess. |

Stop counting calories. My satiety cues are all shattered to heck, and while I'm always pleasantly sated on Paleo, the thought of not knowing where I stand terrifies me. It's a crutch, and one I hope to let go of soon. :) |

Eat raw liver. Seriously, I've known several people who say it produces the most amazing sense of well-being. I already feel pretty well, but dang. A meat that gets you high? I'd like to experience that. |

Have a helicopter drop me off in the middle of some jungle, with just me and a small hunting knife. Live successfully for 60 days, or some period of time. For some reason, the idea of it excites me, and being the minimalist/resourceful-ist that I am, have a feeling I could do this well...but am too chicken-shit to...yeah... |

I wish I could eat raw beef liver> Heck, I wish I could eat COOKED beef liver without holding my nose and wishing for it to end as soon as possible! ): But who knows... maybe it's more palatable raw! |

Eat brains. I hear they might be good for you, but inside my fears are screaming "MAD COW! KURU! PRION DISEASES!" |

Eat insects. I can't find that much information about which species should I eat or how to prepare them. |
