Awareness into your breathe

I have been trying to work on some techniques to remain calm in stressful situations and trust me its a hard one to practice. But the more I practice the easier it gets though. My family and friends have also noticed the difference in me lately by the way I've been handling things.

So here we go:

1. I take a deep breathe in.
2. Tell my self that the only person that can make me feel anything is myself.
3. Observe and acknowledge my thoughts.
4. By the time I do all this half my worries are eased.
5. Then depending on the situation I react with full accountability to my actions.

When the above doesn't work, I come home and meditate on it.
