Ah, I miss the young and nervous days.  Now I'm just old and nervous :)

I can very much relate to your aggression issues - I'm the exact same way!

It has taken a lot of effort for me to up the aggression in my own game to the level it needs to be.  I like to ask myself, when I'm considering a bluff that I don't want to make, "Do I not want to make this bluff because I don't think it's the best play, or is it because I don't like how it feels?"

If my answer is the latter, I make sure I pull the trigger and tell myself that whatever happens is okay because I made the best play that I can.

In other words, I don't avoid or attempt to bury my emotions - quite the opposite!  I try to address and identify what I'm feeling and make the best play that I can logically, sometimes in spite of those feelings.  This kind of self-awareness (which you clearly already possess some of) helps me push myself outside my comfort zone.

I think different things work for different people.  My method may not work as well for you, but the self-awareness I'm talking about will hopefully help you find a method that does.
