With the exam season in full flow, it can be easy to get sucked into revision, hard work and trying to achieve your goals. However, this can lead to us feeling stressed, overwhelmed and exhausted.
In the run up to exams, it’s important to stay calm and take some time out to do things that you enjoy. For example, you could join a club in order to interact with other people, do some exercise and there are even colouring books for adults that help with relaxation. It’s also important that you get a good amount of sleep each night and eat clean so that you are well-rested and energised for efficient revision!
High levels of stress can cause illness, tiredness as well as affecting your mental well-being. This can therefore affect you performance at work, university, college or school which could affect your future greatly. For instance, if you have upcoming exams but became severely ill due to stress, your ability to do the exams will fall and cause you to get lower grades than expected. This can therefore affect your future and so it is better to reduce your stress in the first place. Also, being stressed can cause you to become less social , as you will always be thinking about what you are stressed about, which can affect your relationships with friends and family. For example, you may rather spend time doing work than spending time with friends, which could cause your relationships with people to suffer.
Overall, rather than causing further problems by being stressed it is better to solve the problem before it becomes worse by following some of the solutions stated above.
Taking some time out will not only help you relax and perform better in your exams, but will also help you reflect and gain some perspective on your experience with exams. We are all extremely lucky to have an education and, therefore, we should make the most of this opportunity and enjoy it!
