Anyone else talk to their rifle before a shot?

Okay, humor me here… anyone else whisper to their rifle like it’s a stubborn dog before a big shot? “Don’t shake now!”
Jokes aside, what’s your real way of calming down?

I just tell myself, "don't screw up this time and hope my rifle is on my side. It's weirdly calming

I close one eye, rest my cheek on the gun and take a deep breath
