If there is anything wrong with the engine or anything else important on the aeroplane, the cockpit indication makes it really obvious to pilots, and they will not have continued to their destination.
I would listen to music but when i'm scared I feel the need to concentrate on the plane and keep it in the air with my mind
Concentrating on the plane is how you frighten yourself (unless you are the pilot, of course). You need to distract yourself with something else. You can't keep the plane in the air with your mind (or body, for that matter) anyway, so you might as well try not to concentrate on it.
I would be worried about flying on some dodgy airlines but not with BA. They have what I believe to be some of the best-trained pilots - they even have first officers who have been examiners of pilots at other airlines. It's time to trust them a bit.
