Turns out I have this thing about breathing that calms me down…

Not sure when I began it, not sure where I even learnt it from, but somehow, whenever I’m angry and my mind is raging and cursing nine ways to insanity, I force myself to stop and breathe… And I take 5 deep breaths, think about why I am angry, try to see the positive side of it all (however minute) and then I calm down…

The anger might still be there, but the breathing technique at least, gives me a clearer head to take my next action… which might have been stupid and unnecessarily extreme, had I remained in my rage mode.

Just saying.

Breathe.
