Hi, can someone help me with breathing exercises to calm down? I get really nervous before interviews and don’t know how to relax. Thanks!

Breathing solely through the left nostril will calm you down ... even 3 mins can do it. You just need to close off your right nostril with either... your right index finger or thumb and then inhale slowly and deeply through the left nostril; then exhale slowly and deeply through the left nostril. Continue breathing SOLELY through the left nostril. The left side of the body is associated with the moon, with calming and cooling energy. A regular practice of breathing solely through the left nostril has even helped lower blood pressure in some! I used to get extremely nervous testifying before state and federal legislatures. There were many times I was sitting in the back of a taxicab with my thumb or index finger closing off my left nostril 'cause I knew that would calm me down. Again, three minutes (approx 26 inhales & exhales) can do wonders! You could do this for 10-15 mins, too; like I used to do in the back of those taxicabs!! more
