I did just as my mind told me to, inhaling deeply, holding it for two seconds, and then letting it out.

"Sure," I muttered and took a deep breath.

Now let it out but slowly, very slowly. Once more, I heeded its instructions, letting out my breath slowly.

Okay! You're good to go now.

Are you sure? I wondered.

Yep, go get that role!

"Okay!" I beamed.
