1) You can worry about all the things that could go wrong (which might never happen) OR
2) You could think about all the things that could go RIGHT! (which could very well happen )
After giving #1 sufficient time in your brain . . . one or two minutes, maybe - switch to #2. It takes practice, but you can do it.
