Every student is tasked to attend class and learn. Right?

An exam determines their performance in school and is one of their challenges.

After sleepless nights of reviewing lectures, answering sample questions and extensive studying, many students tend to freak out at the big day of their exam.

Nervousness and anxiety are common for students on exam day. It’s perfectly fine. Too much anxiety and stress can result to low test performance and poor concentration.

This feeling is generally called test anxiety.

Test Anxiety
It is characterized as an intense feeling of dread and worry before, during and after the exam.

Test anxiety can cause impaired cognitive function (thinking), which can cause mental blackouts that results to poor test performance.

What does it imply? It means that during a test, you can’t think well and you’re likely to forget what you studied!

Test anxiety brings headaches, muscle spasm or stomach aches in students. Some may feel heart palpitations, sweaty and shaky hands and even nausea.

Signs and Symptoms of Test Anxiety
Before taking a test, you often find yourself…

  • Distracted and reluctant to start studying.
  • Having a hard time getting prepared for review
  • Lacking focus and concentration
  • Full of negative thoughts

Anxiety Cure

Is anxiety something you live with often?

About Anxiety

Anxiety limits your life in so many ways.

When you have limiting beliefs and danger-filled thoughts about your life, anxiety results.  When these thoughts are generated, your physical body undergoes many fight or flight reactions and prepares you to deal with life-threatening danger.

Keeping anxious takes a lot of your strength, energy and life force.

There is so much energy used by anxiety that you don’t have very much left for experiencing joy, creativity, exercising, having fun, feeling loving – or even making love .

Cure for Anxiety

Here’s an easy four step process that works great for me to reduce anxiety.  I call it SALT.  That stands for…

Stop

Ask

Listen

Tap

Here are the steps in more detail.

Stop

When we’re feeling anxious, we don’t want to stop.  Instead of stopping, our tendency is to keep going, afraid if we slow down or stop, what we fear will happen.

So the first step is easy.  Just stop what you’re doing.

Step Two:  Ask

The following questions will help you discover what you’re running from.

What is scaring me?  What is making me anxious?  What am I thinking that’s causing this anxiety?  Under this anxiety, what thoughts am I thinking?  Are there related beliefs? 

Step Three:  Listen

The next step is to listen to the answers.  The answers may be surprising.

Do not discount or argue with the responses.  They may seem silly, illogical, crazy or juvenile.  The human mind has lots of that stuff lurking just under the surface.  And awareness is the first step to recovery.

I recommend writing down the answers you hear.  All of us wants to have a voice and be heard.

These first three steps can do a lot to calm you.  This last step can play a role in reversing your tendency to get anxious and set in place new, healthier mental, emotional and physical reactions to stress.

Step Four:  Tap

As the last step, you do EFT tapping.  For tapping statements, you use what you heard in the Listening step. While doing tapping therapy, you use the answers as tapping statements.  At each tapping point, state one answer.

If you’re new to EFT tapping, get a free EFT manual.
Next time anxiety comes your way, just use a little SALT!

Need To Shake A Bad Mood? Here Are Six Easy Ways

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — jobself @ 10:40 pm

Do you sometimes find yourself in a bad mood?  It is something we people just go through

But, because a bad mood can really block us from feeling good, from getting things done and from enjoying life, it’s valuable to have some tricks to get out of feeling bad.

Here are six of my favorite ways to start feeling better fast.

One:  Smile
When you smile you disrupt the negative pathways in the brain. In addition it helps train the brain to think more positively more often.

Just a little grin, even when you’re alone, will improve your mood.  When with others and you smile, other people are inclined to smile too, making them happy also.

#2 Yawn
The simple yawn is quite amazing due to the fact that it triggers some very beneficial results.  It lowers stress, relaxes your body and enhances pleasure and sensuality. 

Just open your mouth wide and induce a yawn.  Give it a try right now!

3.  Say YES!
Simply saying the word “yes” can help you get into a more positive frame of mind. 

Counting on your fingers, ask ten questions of yourself and answer “yes”.  Start out easy, such as do I have two eyes?  Answer “yes”

Get more emphatic as you go, asking questions that make you happier and happier.

#4 Appreciation
Begin by looking around wherever you are and find one thing to appreciate. Come up with one reason you feel appreciation for it.  Next think of another reason you appreciate it.  Keep going with more and more reasons.

Then move on to another object.  This is something you can do while waiting, driving – any time.

Five:  Tap
Our body’s energy system can become habitual both in patterns of thought and in patterns of emotion.

When you tap on some specific points, the same ones used in acupuncture, can release the blocked energy and enable good thoughts and feelings to return naturally.

This easy-to-learn technique is known as EFT tapping.  You can learn how to do this tapping therapy in as short a time as ten minutes by reading and following this free EFT manual and watching the short YouTube EFT video on this page can help too.

Six:  If I did feel happy…
When you’re already in a lousy mood, it’s pretty difficult to go from low to high in a single leap.  Try this.

Either silently, aloud or in writing.  Say, “If I did feel happy, I could possibly feel happy about”  and finish the sentence.

Continue starting that sentence, finishing the thought with something that you would feel happy about. 

After a short while, you’ll find yourself feeling better and better.

I hope these six suggestions help you next time you want to shake a bad mood.

Procrastination Magic

Do you sometimes feel like you’re two years old again, and refusing to do something?

Balking at the thought of getting something done?

Do you procrastinate doing certain tasks?  Wasting your precious energy avoiding something, while avoiding something you will eventually do?

I have a resolution.  It’s helped thousands of others and no doubt it will work for you as well.

It is called Emotional Freedom Tapping, or EFT tapping.
The method is based on the connection between our mind and body.  What you do is tune into an upsetting issue you’re experiencing.

At the same time, you tap on certain points on your head and torso.  The special stress-relief points you tap on are along chi meridians, the ones used in acupuncture.

It sounds and looks totally weird.  But it works

Employ this tapping therapy whenever you have any limiting emotion or thought or pain or illness.

But it’s amazing when you use it for procrastination.

Here is the EFT technique that works so well.  It’s easy to do and is an easy way to begin using EFT tapping, especially if you’re a newbie.

Tap with two or three fingers of either hand, on either side of your body.  Tap a few times on every point.

You’ll learn the tapping points by watching the very quick video.

Here’s what you do.  Bring to mind the thing you
re avoiding.

Tap on the points while you say the following statements.

Eyebrow: I do not want to do this!

Side of Eye: I’m dreading doing it.

Under Eye: Just thinking of it makes me hate it.

Under Nose: I won’t do it.

Chin: I refuse to do it!

Collarbone: You are not my boss.

Under Arm: You can’t make me and I don’t have to do it.

Top of Head: I am not doing it and that’s all there is to it.

Believe it or not, that’s it!

Try tapping while saying those statements on each point (one round is tapping on each of the points) or for as many rounds as it takes to feel a shift.

Then, notice how you’re feeling about the thing you were avoiding.  You new attitude toward it may change.

What have you got to lose, except a few short minutes?
