    I agree with Ayese
    Give yourself permission to worry about it for 3 or 5 minutes. This validates your feelings. After the 3-5 minutes cut off the worrying by focussing on something else. Worry will not change you chances for the better so it is a waste of time anything past 5 minutes. In this way you can move forward to what difference you can make for today.
