Question about English (US)
Take deep breaths, clear out what you will have to accept in the worst situation and make sure you have a way to accept it, also, take the action immediately. Does this sound natural?

I don't understand
Try to to break this up into multiple sentences, and order the directions chronologically.
You are saying things that contradict each other in the same sentence.

Take deep breaths. Clear out what you will have to accept in the worst situation and make sure you have a way to accept it. Also, take the action immediately. Is this ok?

I don't understand
I thought maybe you'd reorder it and then maybe it would start to make sense, but I still don't understand, sorry. Maybe context will help me understand. What action/ situation are you talking about?

A little unnatural
Pretty good. I like the overall way you are describing this - just a little fine-tuning needed.
I'd say something like:
Take a deep breath. Be clear about what you will have to accept in the worst case and make sure you have a way to accept it. Then take action immediately.
Just breathe deep, think clearly about what the worst case could be, and make sure you can accept it. Then act without delay.
