    The most apt description of worry that I’ve found is that worry is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but ultimately, it doesn’t get you anywhere.

    IMO, if the flight attendants look worried, I’m preparing myself to jump into action if required. Putting things away and getting ready to move at a moment’s notice if it’s needed. Beyond that, I’m not going to take charge and start delegating or anything. I don’t have that much of an ego. I’m just ready and willing to help, and if I have a few minutes to prepare myself, then I can do that much more quickly.

    As for worrying, I handle worry and stress with action. So until there’s something to do, worry isn’t a helpful emotion to me, so I’ll do everything in my power to ignore or eliminate it until I can take action.
