Do not fear fearing fear

Fear of fear is the problem, not fear.

You can feel big things and work with them rather than letting them work you. You do not need to fear the sensations of fear. As you practice being curious about your fear rather than running from it, you may find that the fear that has the potential to stop you is unnecessary; it’s simply your first reaction.

Being scared is sometimes telling us to back away. Sometimes it’s telling us to dive in. Either way, curiosity helps it help us.
