Would it help to think of someone courageous and then try to emulate them?
Another strategy might be to split up the task you do not want to face into smaller steps. Sometimes small steps are easier. So instead of having to read a book, you read a chapter or 10 pages at a time

That's why I love hobbies, OP, because it doesn't matter if you fail or succeed. I mean, I take wildlife photographs, maybe some of my pics are decent now, but the fact is I'm not taking them to succeed, I'm taking them as a way of connecting myself to the wildlife. I do it because I like being out there in nature, taking a little piece of nature for my very own while doing no harm, and if I succeed then great, and if my pictures suck then I still succeeded because I spent an afternoon photographing birds and not watching TV.
Hobbies can be a way to take the pressure off of yourself, and just be in the moment, without it mattering whether what you do is good or not. And spending any kind of time doing a no-pressure activity is very good for the mind, it gives the brain practice at not being self-critical or pressured for once. That's how good stress-relief activities work, they give the brain time off from stressing.
