When I am anxious about something new, I try to turn it around and tell myself I'm excited! I get to do something I have not done before and I am going to learn new things and have new experiences.

The future is unknown so when I think about it, I tell myself I might as well think good thoughts as bad ones since neither one is better than the other but the good thoughts are more pleasant and if what we think influences what happens at all, I'd rather good things happen than scary.
