I'm no expert, but still, here's my 2 cents.
Kinda logical and related to confidence, but still... if you're already going for smth (jump) don't change your mind half-way through. It never ends well.
Start with simple jumps and get comfortable with air-time (grabs, moving and adjusting your body mid-air etc). Get casual enough, that you can land also some sketchy jumps without any problems.
As for mental aspect, just try to think "the hell with it, what do i have to lose" (and don't think long enough to actually answer that question). After first try at a new jump, subsequent jumps are always easier. After first fall that you don't really get hurt, it gets even better. On the other hand, hard falls, spoil the fun for a bit, but nothing you can't get over with with sheer (stupid) bravery.
