Dear Joanne,
I admire your desire to tackle sources of inner fear. Examining root causes of your own assumptions can be very helpful.
My own suggestion is to mentally train yourself not to assume the worst. Unless a negative situation is presented to you, (i.e. unless someone actually tells you that you're fired) then you have no reason to jump to that conclusion. You can train yoruself to visualize positive outcomes. The meditation idea is good and so are the breathing exercises. Over and above this, I encourage you to find a book that interests you about overcoming fear.
All the best!
