I struggle a lot with this myself, and my success rate is not great. When I am obsessing over What Ifs, sometimes one of these strategies helps: - Distract myself with light reading or TV. - Clean something, preferably while listening to a podcast - Imagine the worst that can happen and realize that I will survive it - Remind myself that all of my wonderings are just stories my mind makes up, and I don't know what is going to happen, so it's not helpful to listen to the stories
Hang in there!
