Introduce a bit of frivolity into your
life! Use a collection of vocabulary items and access them at random. Play games
with them, as for Scrabble. Combine
the words. Connect them in some way. Create faux-sentences (and accurate ones
if you like).
That way, they lose their power over you. Your awe of them diminishes. They intimidate less.

Really, playing games is good for you—gets you into a state of flow. The outcome of games isn’t a matter of life and death. In a game, you can afford to get really into it without ultimate risk. Your skill improves by playing games. In games, you can do a lot of useful work without it feeling like work.
To sum up, turn language learning into a ‘mind
game’.
