Another thing to recognize that the root cause behind fear, even behind uncertainty is the fear that you can't handle or you won't be able to handle it. You can read Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, if you'd like, its a great book about this. Literally a PD classic.

Another way that can sometimes help is to quantify the worst case scenerio. Sometimes we're vaguely afraid of something happening, but once you quantify it (or reach it) you realize its not all that bad. I remember reading that most millionaires have been bankrupt at least once before they became millionaires. That's not to say you'll have to be bankrupt before you become a millionaire, just that money crunches are a part of it.

Other than that, have a look at Steve's general stuff. He has a podcast on overcoming fear and a number of related posts. His introductory article, The Courage to Live Consciously might help.

Another tip is to find motivational and inspirational audio and listen to it daily. It will help energize you adn referesh you.l
