Do it more.
It's really the only way. Take headphones, listen to podcasts, or music, or Audiobooks. Take a book with you (or an ereader, or get an ereader app on your phone to save bringing an extra item)
Just remember, 99.9% of the people you see won't even really see your face, let alone remember anything about you in five minutes time (unless you're doing/wearing something really outlandish)

Just remember you’re there for yourself, and that the majority of people wish they had the confidence to do what you’re doing.

Try easing into it by doing activities that have less individual focus on you, it'll feel less weird. Hiking, walking/cycling places, farmers markets, festivals/events, movie theater. Museums. Bringing a book someplace to read is good too. Once you're more comfortable with it you can get more adventurous.

Truly no one cares or thinks it weird to see a person doing something normal on there own. Ignore the paranoia

Everyone is busy on the phone anyways, so no one is even staring at each other
