Chew Gum to Calm Down
Did you know that chewing gum can help calm your nerves? The act of chewing tricks your brain into thinking that everything is okay because, from an evolutionary standpoint, we wouldn't be eating if we were in danger.
This is why chewing gum before a stressful situation, like a presentation or an interview, can help you feel more relaxed. Just make sure you spit it out before the actual event begins so you don't come across as unprofessional.
