Remember it's not personal. This is professional work.

Preparing for how you will deal with bad scenarios identifies gaps that you can fix in advance, and creates confidence for what you and the team will do if things go wrong. It's not about imagining the worst, it's about being ready. And that should reduce anxiety.
