How deeply do you breathe when you're slightly afraid?
When the excitement pushes you, and apprehension pulls you back?
How does your hand shake at this new end or adventure?
Do yiu dare jump? Would you dive? Do you run away?

I first take a deep breath and then try to think as clearly and quickly as I can about three things:

What are my options? Do I have the ability to affect the situation in a positive way?

How likely is it that things are really going to go pear-shaped?

What is the risk (to me, to others I care about, or to strangers) if things go wrong?

That usually guides my next reactions.
