Never let the fear of striking out stop you from playing the game.
It's easy to say from the outside to look past your fears and just do it. But knowing anxiety and knowing how hard it is to tap into that logical side when you're so far into survival mode is something you need to acknowledge and work through. It won't be easy, and it will be frustrating at times, but it is possible.
"Never let the fear of striking out stop you from playing the game." - Babe Ruth
