Comment on Ask HN: How to get focused and calm myself before an interview with investors?

Comments

Learn breathing patterns (e.g. in yoga).

In essence, making your exhale longer than your inhale will calm you down. So take 10-20 deep breaths through your nose, focus on your breathing by following it, once you're breathing comfortably after the first few, try and make your exhale longer. It's OK to count in your mind if that helps.

So my partner has been getting really deep into transcendental meditation and it has really been seeming to help with him. I just tonight had him show me some of his methods and just tried to focus and my breathing and I’ll tell ya what, there has been great advice throughout but this has potential for sure. The meeting is soon so I’m going to for sure try breathing deeper. Thanks!
