C - stands for composure.
When I was younger there was this song titled breathe slow by Alesha Dixon which was my number one jam then. Especially the chorus where composure is stretched out. It's a great song.

Composure has been on my lips this week. I've had to wait in line to get an ID card and the organisers or the institution is the most disorganised I've ever come across. Today was my second visit there after I'd had angry words with one of the employees and stomped off in a huff on my first visit. That was so out of character for me: I barely ever lose my temper.

On my way there today, I felt ashamed and thought of apologising even though the fault was undoubtedly theirs. I told myself, “ there's no use getting angry. Don't do it.” I took my headphones for company and set my expectations really low, with a single goal and plenty of room for disappointment.

I'm glad to say that consciously keeping my composure, while looking on as they kept at their incompetence competently and others in the crowd grumbled, paid off. I enjoyed my music and surprisingly, my card was ready in three hours. I expected to be asked to come back tomorrow.
Anger is useful sometimes but it's mostly useless the rest of the time. Try and consciously stay composed. You can work it off in the gym later.
P.S I couldn't apologize as the woman I'd had words with was out.
