I have been trying to not get my hopes up, and trying to put my emotions about this interview aside. As the week progresses, I get more anxious about it.

When this happens, I close my eyes and try to still my mind. I take deep breathes. Getting worked up about something I have no control over is not helpful.

You are right about that. Try some meditation. Muscle relaxation. Lay down (especially if you are trying to sleep) and picture all your muscles going into a relaxed state. One at a time from head to toe. Focus on your breathing too. I do this when I want to go to sleep or free my mind. You are going to be fine. Just try to calm yourself. Mindfulness...

I sure do hope you get the job. You deserve it. I hope you love it too.

Take care friend. Have a good restful night.

Hugs, Karen...

Use your controlled breathing.

in to the count of 3'; 1 2 3

out to the count of 4' 1 2 3 4

the longer exhale relaxes naturally.

AND NO ONE HAS TO KNOW YOU ARE DOING IT!

peace

Ugh! Job interviews were the worst! Look, you know your strengths. You know you are qualified. One of the easiest things to talk about is what we KNOW! You'll do fine. You've done all you can to prepare. Trust yourself.
