1. Do not wait for fear to disappear by itself.
If anxiety is firmly rooted in your psyche, it will not disappear just like that. The brain does not like uncertainty, unpredictability, which is always a threat to us. If you take action despite fear, in the future similar "uncertain" situations, your brain will perceive as less dangerous. Over time, the belief in self-efficacy will increase in you - you will start to see yourself as a person capable of taking action, even despite the accompanying anxiety.
2. Set yourself a realistic goal.
Anxiety makes you look at yourself as a less talented, competent or loved person. That's why when you start thinking about change and you see yourself as being less loved and competent than yourself, you are really putting goals to a stranger. You think about what is socially acceptable or what others expect from you. It is difficult to end up when the goal is not set by you. That's why it's important to look at your desires and think about what you really want. Define your goal precisely, it is good to write it on a piece of paper.
3. Believe in changes.
If you do not have faith that it will work, start anyway, and faith will probably appear soon. The more actions you make, the more likely you are to succeed, the stronger your self-confidence and the change process. Many writers say that if you start writing anything, your story will take shape over time. But without the first step - without the first sentence written - the process will not start.
4. Avoid catastrophic thinking.
Anxiety people focus only on what can go wrong and how negative the effects of introducing change can be. What if you invest in a business and he fails - or you will apply for a job and you will not get it? Anxiety makes you overestimate the risk of taking action. However, think about it: does the risk of being in a bad situation bring higher costs?
5. Be your own fan, not a critic.
Following your dreams is difficult and you will come across obstacles. But you do not have to hinder your task from the very start. Look for the positives and strengths of your plan. You do not always control the results, so be happy and praise for the hardships and risks.
Good luck!
