I would add one thing to the spiritual mastery stuff:)
Part of that is also simple lack of experience, routine, call it what you will. Everything "new" and "unknown" is frightening. So is public performance in any of its forms. But I promise you, when you bite the bullet and go and exercise like three times among people, your anxiety is over. And you'll even might be like "oh it's refreshing to exercise with all these folk around".
Remember, I don't know, first day of school, you were like "omg I'll go in the wrong classroom", "omg where is the toilet", "omg I look so stupid with this bag" or whatever. And after like a week you were like "well, I could shit on my desk with everybody watching right now if I wanted to" :D
So, meet your enemy head on. The more you cycle that duel, the farther you are from it. It's like jumping in a pool from a 10m thing. If you don't simply jump, there you are, half an hour later, talking to yourself that you can do it:) And then you get down because well, you'll do it tomorrow:)
If it's something which isn't in the range of "should I marry this guy" or "should I sell this apartment and buy the smaller one", you shouldn't brood over it. There are virtually no consequences for this exercise thing, so just do it:)
And now I'll stop before wandering off to talk about ego and projecting and identifying with stuff...
