1 Pre-Interview Prep

Before the interview, take time to engage in activities that naturally increase your energy. A short walk or a few minutes of stretching can invigorate your body. Mindfulness meditation, even for just a few minutes, can help clear your mind and reduce stress. Focus on your breath and allow yourself to be present in the moment, which can lead to a sense of calm and increased mental clarity. Additionally, ensure you eat a balanced meal that includes protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates to fuel your body and mind.

Shake it out! Take a minute before stepping into the interview room to bounce up and down on the spot, or raise and lower your heels. Shake out your arms, hands, legs, etc. This helps excess energy and nerves to find a path out of your system. It also helps to increase blood flow to your brain, helping you think more clearly.

2 Breathing Techniques

During the interview, if you sense your energy flagging, discreetly employ deep breathing techniques. Deep breaths can help oxygenate your blood and boost energy levels. Try the 4-7-8 technique: inhale for four seconds, hold for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds. This method not only increases energy but also promotes relaxation, which can be particularly helpful if nerves are contributing to your fatigue. Remember to breathe from your diaphragm rather than shallow chest breaths to maximize the benefits.

When our inhale is longer than our exhale, we invite more energy and vitality into body and mind. Don't worry about having perfect number, just start with what feels accessible, so that you don't create distress. For example, inhale for 8, exhale for 4.

Muchas veces en momentos de tensión en los que hemos estado manteniendo cierta compostura y, de repente, nos relajamos; podemos sufrir un "bajonazo" de energía. Esté bajón, normalmente, se debe a la liberación de esa tensión y estrés mental y corporal contenido. Ante esta situación, puedes regular tu nivel energético a través de la respiración. La respiración puede ayudarnos a controlar y alterar nuestro estado físico activando el sistema circulatorio o la activación cerebral a través del oxígeno. En este caso, realiza respiraciones cortas y relativamente rápidas durante 1 minuto por tu nariz. Algo sutil, nadie tiene que darse cuenta. Pero de esta manera, oxigenarás tu cuerpo y conseguirás reactivar tu energía de manera sencilla.

When you are anxious you will notice your breathing is rapid and shallow. Deep breathing techniques (from diaphragm) will induce a relaxation state. "Breathwork" or "Pranayama" exercises also invoke energy and positive focus.

3 Positive Visualization

Practice positive visualization before and during the interview. Imagine yourself answering questions with confidence and enthusiasm. Visualizing success can create a mental state that is more energetic and alert. By picturing a positive outcome, you can also reduce anxiety, which often depletes energy. Keep these images vivid and detailed—see yourself shaking hands with the interviewer, speaking clearly, and feeling energized. This mental rehearsal can enhance your actual performance.

En la mayoría de los casos, nuestra energía se ve mermada en el momento presente porque nuestro cerebro se encuentra en otros pensamientos. Si quieres conseguir activar tu energía durante una actividad concreta, realiza un ejercicio de atención plena para volver al momento presente. Vuelve a lo que está ocurriendo ahora. Puedes hacer una escucha profunda a la otra persona o simplemente mirar y sentir tus manos para focalizar toda tu energía y atención en lo que está ocurriendo.

4 Mindful Listening

Stay engaged in the conversation by practicing mindful listening. Focus intently on what the interviewer is saying, which can help maintain your energy levels as it keeps your mind from wandering to thoughts that may be draining. By being fully present, you also show your interviewer that you are interested and attentive, which can reflect positively on you. If you find your mind drifting, gently bring your attention back to the conversation, just as you would in meditation.

Mindful Listening is be aware of the message being communicated or question asked. Avoid racing thoughts and 'mind chatter' by Being Present. Lean forward, make eye contact, and smile. Listening is assured.

Haz un ejercicio de escucha activa, lleva toda tu consciencia y atención a l comunicación verbal y no verbal de la persona que tienes enfrente. No pierdas la atención y evita realizar juicios o críticas. Simplemente, retén tu atención en las palabras de la persona que tienes delante y encontrará como tu energía se canaliza con un único propósito.

5 Body Language

Be mindful of your body language as it can influence both how you feel and how you are perceived. Sit up straight to project confidence and to keep your body alert. Use hand gestures when appropriate to convey enthusiasm. Smiling naturally boosts your mood and can make you feel more energetic. These physical cues not only send signals to your brain to help increase your energy but also demonstrate your engagement and interest to the interviewer.

Importante prestar aten?ao nisso - a pessoa dominante sempre tende a influenciar a pessoa que está sendo dominada. Se a pessoa cruza os bra?os a frente do peito, ela está dizendo que está fechada a sua opini?o. Ao se deparar com isso, por exemplo, "debruce-se" sobre a mesa com os cotovelos abertos e gesticule enquanto fala, sempre mostrando as palmas das maos. Imediatamente a postura do outro mudará.

6 Post-Interview Reflection

After the interview, take a few moments for post-interview reflection. This is an opportunity to mentally review your performance and acknowledge the effort you put forth, regardless of the outcome. Reflecting mindfully on the experience can help you identify areas for improvement and celebrate what went well, which can be energizing in itself. This practice can also help in reducing post-interview stress and preserving your energy for future endeavors.
