Fear is usually false evidence appearing real. It's a story. It's not even real. It's not that dangerous. It's not that hard. It's not that scary. We really should embrace fear, then analyze the story that we're telling ourselves about the situation and decide if it serves us. And if it doesn't, then we can reframe the story so that it better aligns with our desired outcomes, right?
