Default Rushing the shot !!!

Happened again tonight.
As soon as I drop the dot on the deer, I release (red dot scope)
Shot over her back at 15 yards.
I have been rushing the shots all year, I tell My self I wont, but as soon as the deer come in the heart starts racing and logical thought is gone.

How do I relax and think aim placement through ?
Tonight they came in from behind and hung up about 10 yards behind me and stayed there for about 20 minutes acting nervous, then finally retreated, but looped around and 2 walked right in front at 15 yards, I drew and released as soon as the dot setteled on her shoulder.
I knew I screwed up as soon as I released, to high to start withand she dropped at release.

I know I need to aim lower, I just rushed it, But I knew I had been aiming high and was sure I would "think" the next shot through.

I have beengun hunting for 10 years and get 4-8 a year, so I am no stranger to killing deer, this is My 2nd year bow hunting and cannot shake the "rushing the shot"

Any Advice ??

Many Thanks,
Slack
