Just the other day I received a call from Ayush, my nephew who studies in Class XII in Delhi and is working very hard to crack NIFT and attain a good rank in his CBSE examinations. His phone call was indeed a pleasant surprise but the intention of his call made me pick my laptop and write this blog. Ayush felt he had not studied enough for his upcoming exams and was perhaps worried and anxious. He couldn’t think straight.
The anxiety before the examination is natural. Although a small amount of stress before exams may actually boost your performance, too much anxiety will have a negative impact on yourfinal result. What Ayush experienced before his exam is not one sole case, but many of us have similar stories to tell! Isn’t it?
As the exams stand knocking at your door, here is the appropriate time to take charge and follow these under mentioned ways to rout fear, enjoy academics and become successful.
Conquering fear or anxiety is the first step to success. Academic performance is important but not more important than you! Remember nothing is more important than your own mentalwell-being and happiness! If you are everstressed, call a friend, teacher or parent for counsel.
Be healthy, happy and stay positive, things will automatically fall in place.
