Sit, let your shoulders relax and slump comfortably. Take in a deep breath, through your nose, so that your belly goes out like a balloon; blow it out slowly through your mouth. Do this for at least 5-6 breaths. It not only empties all of the stale air from your lungs and brings in fresh, it will also slow your heart rate and calm the nervous system down.

Also, exercise, go for a walk, listen to some soothing music, dance the *jitters* away.

Hope this helps. Congratulations!
