Is becoming aware of and controlling one's breathing normal? sometimes i become aware that i am automatically breathing and then try to control it.

Yes: Periodical individuals can become aware of their breathing pattern. In fact concentrating on the breathing during inspiration and expiration can be use for relaxation and meditation. There is no known harm to being aware of your breathing pattern.
