When I used to tumble, the trick was always just to keep doing it! The more you do it, the less anxiety you will have. It sounds like you are getting plenty of practice though, so just keep it up! In addition to that, learning harder trick occasionally makes easier ones less scary. That might be something to think about if you get comfortable enough to throw some back tucks or something.
