How to deal with me

Now there is a wonderful question...I pose it to myself and not to another. I am trying to step back, tack time to breathe, absorb adn chill and not freak out for silly things. Yet, I still have that little devil of an impulsive streak that strikes me and motivates me to do things which I don't take too seriously but others might.
TRICK NUMBER ONE: Ingest me with a grain of salt. Basically, do not take me seriously. Tell yourself I am who I am, which is deep down impulsive, emotional, spontaneous, and well, let's face it, like most people, moody. I have accepted this good/bad trait of mine, and am focusing on milking it for it's good aspect and refraining it's bad. Its does not always work.
TRICK NUMBER TWO: Remember that what makes me happy, thus the way to make me happy, is for you to be happy. Happy+happy= happy. If you are not happy, I will most likely feel as miserable as you and my vain attempts at making you happy will seem like selfish acts. Thus a spiral begins. A return to the 'happy equation' is therefore necessary. Am I ever happy, then, you ask? Oh, yes. Unfortuntely, the tiny details that disrupt my happiness tend to peeve me, thus why I need to breathe and ignore tiny details.
TRICK NUMBER THREE: Just be honest. Oh, I may fret, pout, and whine, but deep down, if you are honest, tell me where things stand, there is no way I can justify being disappointed is there?
TRICK NUMBER FOUR: There is no trick.

there is no trick, no dealing, but embracing as you are...there are only ups and downs in mutual interactions just like life itself. when you are in harmony with its alterations, it is infinite. but when you force it, it becomes the unbearable torture...even worse than carceri!!! (hmmm! yes, i should start placing my piranesi books on my desk to get ready to deal with the good and the evil by tomorrow.)
