Boy am I glad I never was like that, you have much to be proud of if you managed to change that mindset, it is very hard to change how you react but yes, if you cannot change it, just take the best of the situation and think it will go well at the end, possibly thinking ahead about what you can do if things end up this or that way. Being active and prepared is the best way to tackle unknown situations.I've been practicing this concept. It's been helping my daily panic attacks a ton! I wished someone had taught me how to be in this mindset a million years ago!
it's one thing to worry & think about how to change a situation. It's a whole other scenario to get sick with concern over stuff you cannot change.

There is a guy holding conferences for people with anxiety around here, one of the things I heard he says is "Will your daughter's flight be safer if you worry? No, so quit worrying. Whatever happens happens, and you worrying will not change the outcome" Which is very true..
