"Mama always told me, 'Reba, it will be over in 24 hours. You can go stand on your head for 24 hours,'" McEntire said at the time. "That's really helped me to be my best self because I just focus on the task in front of me and I don't get overwhelmed about everything else. Don't stress so much over what happens tomorrow.
