Basically you want to accept your thoughts and fears. Once you accept them they will vanish on their own. The fact that you worry too much makes your fears and worries grow which is the opposite of what you want to achieve. So my advice: 1) Calm down 2) Don't overstress the NEED to dream (of course you wanna tell yourself that you can do it and be confident aabout it, but don't overdo it. This can cause stress) 3) slowly restart your practices and see what works best for you, but always keep in mind: This is a fun thing to do. Tell yourself: 'I can do it, I want to do it, and I will do it.' It might also help to just write down what you want to achieve, why you want to achieve it and by when.
I hope this helped a little :)
