  1. Figure out what you’re scared of and do it continuously.

  If you’re a salesman,and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone,now,instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail,spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call.2. But don’t stop on the first try!Eventually,you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “Go on,I’m not scared!”

  2. 3.        

  Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career;you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking,sewing,painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself,taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.
