How to make a stress free exam study plan
Step 1: be present, be mindful.
Understand what you want, what is worth the fight.
And what I mean by that is finding your true motive (whether it is passion for what youāre learning or passing a class), because often we strive towards this perception of success that doesnāt feel like success. It feels like you are constantly under a spotlight and constantly having to prove yourself to others.
High grades make you feel good but thatās nothing compared to being happy with yourself and with what youāre doing. So make that distinguishment.
Step 2: be very practical and realistic.
What do you have to do and in how much time? Divide tasks by the period of time, without letting stress blur out that mindfulness, through method and simplicity.
Step 3: Be disciplined the following days until the exam without getting too strict with yourself.
āWhat is soft is strong.ā (Lao Tzu)
Strive to create softness and ease throughout the days, get your tasks done but find time for play, rest, presence of mind.
Avoid overworking by starting early or as soon as you can and by working smartly and doing the most important things first, even if youāve been dreading them.
honestly as Iām advancing through my academic years the more I understand you owe nothing to anyone. Good grades come from hard work and perseverance. If we found mindfulness and softness in our academic journeys the less sadness and depression symptoms we would see in our colleagues and in ourselves. Not everything is about the numbers. ā¤
