So i am going through exams and it can be a stressful time, especially considering my laziness i tend to be quite unprepared for exams and there are a few things that i do to manage it.
First of all it is going to be stressful, learning to handle the stress and overcome it being able to still perform at your best is not an easy task to say the least. The worst possible thing you can do is be sitting outside the exam room, chest pounding, hands shaking and feeling light headed. You will get into that exam room and instantly blank out, forgetting everything you do know.
There are a few things i do, a few things to try and remember what i crammed and learnt and staying calm and complacent during the exam. I think the most important thing in every situation in life not just exams is if you find yourself stressed of extremely anxious take some time off, find some music that calms you, something to can relax to and 10 minutes before you go into that exam sit back and put it on. Sitting outside the exam room, hands shaking and freaking out whilst trying to cram in more information wont help at all, it will just make it worse.
Now I dont think this just applies to exams either, if you find yourself stressed in life or anxious about something, there are a few things you can and should do to help ease those feelings, first of all the best thing i think you can do is take some time off, sit back and relax, listen to music, read a book, watch your favourite movie, whatever it doesnt matter but pounding yourself into the ground isnt going to help you in the long run. I personally like to just sit back listen to music and play games, when i find myself worried about something that i cant do anything about ill thats what ill do, close my door and have some me time.
Sometimes its obviously not best to ignore it, it might even be better to try and clear it up. What i have to say about that is never be afraid to do what it is you have to do no matter who you have to step over. Keeping yourself happy is more important then keeping other people happy. (In some cases keeping other people happy will keep you happy but i obviously dont mean those people.)
SO just dont forget to step back and take some time off every once and a while, if you find yourself getting run down take a break, being too busy is generally not a good excuse. Being relaxed and feeling better will generally get you getting things done quicker and at a high quality anyway.
