Learning how to overcome text taking anxiety not only relaxes you before the test but also ensures you will perform well during the test and that you will utilize your time wisely in preparation no matter how little time you have to study.
Here are 5 important strategies to help you overcome test taking anxiety
1) Stop whatever you are doing and take 20 deep calm, oxygenated, full breaths.
Breath in through the nose and out through the mouth strongly. Focus on what's truly important in your life as you do this. Think briefly about the big picture in life as a whole and what really matters.
2) Go for a brief walk in nature just enough to get your brain oxygenated and blood flowing.
Movement is often neglected or restricted too much which causes sugars and acids to build up in the blood and anxiety results. To overcome this simply go for a short yet brisk walk.
3) Make sure your body/mind as a machine gets a tune up with all vitals filled.
- Utilize the Power Nap
if you are low on sleep you may need to do a quick power nap to temporarily overcome this. This is a skill though and there are programs that can help you achieve this instantly that I can refer you to later in the document.
- Eat Some Healthy Protein/Fruit
Grab a piece of string cheese, grilled chicken or even some tuna fish. Also take something like an orange slice with it. You'll instantly feel the benefit and will have balance in your mind machine.
- Proper Water Consumption.
Take a full glass of water. Water instantly provides an increase in thought clarity and energy through rejuvenation. It is amazing how many people still never utilize the advantage of plain old water.
4) Utilize Incantations!
The power of incantation (or chant) is still highly underestimated in life. It can change everything!
Say to yourself powerfully... "This is my turning point! Everything is working in my benefit! I am so glad I finally found a way to eliminate my test taking problems and succeed. I know this is working!"
5) Compartmentalize The Test To Overcome Overwhelmed Feelings!
Stop reflecting on the test as a whole. This is what throws you in a panic. Instead, break up the chapters in small sections and reward yourself for each small thing you memorize. Panic is often the result of focusing on too much at once. Just lay one brick at a time even if you aren't sure you'll complete the whole building!
