Hi I am facing anxiety and overthinking issue. As a professional I am extremely good performer. But I don't know for what reason whenever I have to face any interview, I got nervous and not able to give satisfactory answers.
I have the knowledge, skills, experience everything but when it comes to actually performance I am not able to do justice to my potential. My attitude towards everything is positive and for interviews too I start preparing well in advance. Kindly assist and make me understand why is it so and what I have to do to overcome this obstacle.

Practice Self-Care
Get a massage, a mani-pedi, or a haircut. Nothing says polished and well-maintained like a sexy, healthy glow.
Meditate
Calm is an inside job. Give yourself the gift of serenity and start the day with 10 minutes of solitude and positive energy. Think calm, measured and open-minded, and your daily activities will correspond.
Start Deep-Breathing
If you're not focused on how to calm your body through slow, intentional belly-breathing, you're missing out. Belly-breathing is free, location independent, and easy to implement

Go to Bed Early
This may sound impossible if you're accustomed to staying up late to catch up on the To-Do list. But this one's a MUST.Sleep deprivation is a huge anxiety culprit. Inadequate shuteye can amplify the brain's anticipatory reactions, upping overall anxiety levels.
Reduce Caffeine, Sugar and Processed Foods From Your Diet
Caffeine can cause heart palpitations if you ingest too much. Caffeine also can trigger panic or anxiety attacks, especially if you have an anxiety disorder. Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, can also cause palpitations.
Sugar acts as an adrenal stimulant and can cause anxiety or even panic attacks. Other offensive foods include those containing refined flour products, and even wheat since this causes inflammation.
Besides caffeine, and sugar, food allergies are a big contributing factor in your overactive central nervous system.
