Take 30 Deep Abdomen Breaths
Deep stomach breathing is a wonderful way to defeat negative feelings and visualizations and return to the present moment. Just taking a few dozen abdomen breaths can change nervous and shallow breathing into a calm and strong alternative. It's quite remarkable
how quickly this can change how you feel. Here's how you go about it: -
Sit straight in a peaceful position with your legs away from each other.
Put your hands on your stomach. Using your stomach inhale slowly through your nose. If you are doing it right, your stomach will expand and you'll feel it with your hands.
Exhale slowly through your nose and do it with some force so you feel your stomach pull slightly inwards towards your spine.
Breathe in and out 30 times. Take slow and deep breaths.
After you have taken 30 breaths and focused on counting them you should not only feel more relaxed and centred. Your body will also be able to continue breathing in this manner without you focusing on it. And that's it. Continue with your normal day.
Yoga Practice
Here is another yoga practice to bring down your nervousness during the interview. Here's how you go about it: -
Close the left nose with left thumb, inhale, and then exhale.
Close the right nose with right thumb, inhale, and then exhale.
Do it for 20 times, if possible. Continue with your normal day.
Arrive Early
Arrive 20-30 minutes before your meeting / interview is expected to begin. This will help give you a chance to get a small sense of the company's environment before your interview begins, and will also allow you some time to become better adapted with your new surroundings, which hopefully will promote more of a relaxed feeling.
