Also...ask yourself, "What's the worst thing that can happen?" Prepare for being able to handle that, and then remember it's not likely to be what happens.
If all else fails, paste a smile on your face and fake it until it's real.

I agree, except for the smile part. I find that when I'm extremely nervous, my smile quivers uncontrollably & makes me look like I'm having spasms. It's just easier not to smile then.
When I used to stand at the podium in front of a class of med students to give announcements & start an exam, I'd just take deep breaths, remember that they're human & possibly as nervous as I am, & also remember that I was the one giving them their grades!

buzzy: "Well,from what I've learned,pressure points,when pressed on lightly, can have a very nice calming effect on you." (Gosh I hope they got me..).[/quo I love to have my pressure points pushed on lightly at first. But I need it harder later on! After it is done, I'm very calm.
