Get yourself a good instructor and push your limits wrt the aircraft limitations and your handling. Fo example a good coordination exercise is continuous steep turns reversing the direction every turn once you get stable. You should be able to do that within 360;degrees. It teaches coordination of all four controls.
I have 50 years of flying and still paraglide having flown and instructed on most fixed wing civil types but still have some doubts as was my last flight when I spotted a shower to windward. After two minutes of indecision I decided to land. So two hours of driving and hiking I got only ten minutes of flying.
Its natural and I was scared of heights until in my 40s and did a NLP course.
