How do I mentally prepare my mindset for Hardcore mode?whatshot

All the guides I read are more like walkthroughs for game progression. I really need to calm myself down. Any advice or tips you can share?

I say keep a small soft drink with you and take it one step at a time, don’t stress :D
Remember that your main goal is to stay alive
Don't get attached to anything. Your goal is to survive, not make a pretty house.
Do not pick fights that you know you cannot win early game and avoid tougher mobs in the early game. I did a modded hardcore let's play with 80+ random mods that I had no idea how they worked. I had to restart 3 times in the first 10 minutes of gameplay due to being one-shot by a neutral or hostile mob. I remember seeing Rebecca Chambers from a Resident Evil mod and I thought that I could kill her to get her gun. She headshotted me and killed me in one hit with full iron armour. On the second attempt, I was two-shotted by a Komodo Dragon from Alex's Mobs in the first 2 minutes of a new world. On my third attempt, I learned my lesson to not engage with neutral mobs even if they have good loot and to avoid the direction of stronger hostile mobs in the early game as opposed to trying to run past them.
This is not a final exam. Just join and don't panic. Panicking = playing bad. playing bad = death. death = hardcore world gone. hardcore world gone = sadness and depression if you spend too much time on it.
If you can't bare losing it after so much time make a backup every now and then.

Oh yeah last tip. Don't miss with baby mobs, Brutes or wardens.
Don't sweat it. Make a backup before/after you do anything really big.
Get waterbucket or you might die, turn on subtitles and use the minecraft OST to calm down.
Just do it
In my experience beating Hardcore, just remember it's okay to feel nervous, even scared, but you need to keep moving.
Assuming your goal is to beat the dragon, make flexible plans, then do everything one change at a time, no matter how big or small.

Just dive head first and be prepared to start over hopefully learning more with each run
this. you likely will die at some point, so it's better to see your first world or two as test trials
if you can manage to survive on them, great, otherwise it is no fret and you can account for what killed you in the next world

The big thing about HC is that one has only one life, so…
take no (avoidable *) risks
remember there is always tomorrow
* some are unavoidable e.g. the first gate into the nether, the first dragon fight. For these, load for bear andbest luck.
