Managing
Stress Tips
- Concentrate:
Stay focused on what you're doing. Worry and fear are future projections
and need not become part of your present task.
- Use Affirmations:
"I feel relaxed and confident. I will recall all that I need to
know during my test."
- Visualize:
See your tasks completed the way you want them to be actually completed.
Imagine yourself a good test taker. Feel what it's like to be successful.
- Breathe:
Take several deep breaths to calm the body and bring oxygen to the brain.
- Exercise
and stretch to keep the body healthy and to change the focus of the
mind.
- Eat well-balanced
meals . Have fruit instead of candy.
- Talk to
a friend, advisor, or family member.
- Write
down your concerns. Talking to people or writing thoughts down helps
to objectify them. Once you see the nature of a problem, it's much easier
to handle.
- Do something
fun!
