Expect good possibilities while remaining prepared for difficult ones.

Planning for the difficult case does not require expecting it. You can genuinely anticipate a good outcome while having a workable answer for the bad one, and that combination is what allows you to take risks without being reckless. Preparation is not pessimism.
For something you are hopeful about, write a short answer to what you would do if it went badly. Then stop thinking about it and continue hopefully. Having the answer is what lets you set the worry down.
What would you need in place to hope more freely?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
