How do you handle the What ifs ???

I was thinking today after reading your Weekly Overview entry about what I  have had my head filled the last few day's.  They are what I call "What if's".

As I have shared in coaching, seminars and other conversations ... I believe we all have a few different things going on that my or may not happen. 

So what do you do with the "What if's"?  I awoke this morning with my mind filled with these things I don't think I should be worrying about, but I am.  Some of these things are "wild, and out there," and some feel like solid ideas that just have not happened.  What to do with the "What if's".  Do you write them down?  Do you go through each scenario?  They just seem to be consuming unnecessary space and energy.

I'd love to hear your ideas...

Jason,

Most of the time my "What if's" are actually goals. I don't realize it at first, but when I have wrote them down they turned out to be goals that I set.

Hope that helps. . .
