Debunk Your Fears
"There's nothing to fear but fear itself"
Most of the time it's not the thing that you're afraid of. It's the actual fear that's holding you back.
You should be afraid of the fear, because the fear is going to hold you back more than a hypotetical situation really will.

"Are These Thoughts Evidence-based or am I Just Thinking Irrationally?"
You always have the power to choose your thoughts. When we're afraid, we focus on the negative thoughts, when in reality there are so many other positive thoughts that can support you.
Your fear is just one thought, is just one option. But there are other thoughts and other options out there for you to choose from.
Choose your thoughts like you're choosing what clothes to wear. If wearing something makes you feel ugly then don't wear that it, wear something that makes you feel confident.

Action Dissolves Fear
You want to feel the fear and do it anyway.
When you're sitting there doing nothing, only thinking, you allow your thoughts and your fears to run how you feel about yourself.
When you are not taking action, you live more in your mind. It's all really an illusion in your mind.
When you're taking action, you're focused on the external world and it kind of takes your mind off things because you're focused on taking action.
