HOW TO OVERCOME JOB INTERVIEW ANXIETY

Don't you wish you could stop feeling anxious before every job interview?

I never get tired of stressing the importance of preparation. But I also know that many of us can't help feeling nervous even when we're 100% prepared.

The more you repeat the "keep calm and carry on" motto to yourself, the more nervous you seem to get.

Because never in the history of calming down has the phrase "calm down" ever worked.

A couple of years ago, I discovered an idea that has completely changed the way I look at my nerves in a stressful situation.

Here it is:

On a physiological level, anxiety and excitement are the same.

Turns out, whether we are feeling anxious or excited about something, our bodies react with the same kind of symptoms.

Which means that in any situation that makes you nervous, you could simply tell yourself that you're excited. And you wouldn't be wrong.

Instead of trying to suppress this emotion, which only makes it stronger and more obvious, telling yourself you're excited helps you embrace it.

It helps you think of your anxiety as extra positive energy that you can use to your advantage.
