Think over your fear. Imagine a situation that causes you this unpleasant feeling, in detail. For example, you are afraid to perform on stage. Cause in your thoughts the moment when you go on stage, when the performances begin, think over your actions at this time, etc. Perhaps everything is not as scary as it seems?
