11. do the following breathing exercise: breathe in normally, through mouth or nose (it doesn't matter). then breathe old, slowly, through the mouth, so that the time taken to exhale is more than the time it took to inhale. as you exhale, let your upper body relax; feel your arms and shoulders become loose and sink down.

do this for as long as it takes to settle your nerves. if you want to make it funny, say 'aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrssse' on the exhalation.
