According to Dr Ann McCraken, Chairperson-International Stress Management Association, it is very important to keep both body and mind ‘Exam Ready’ during exam time. “When the mind is refreshed and the body is fit, concentration levels go up. Keep in mind that, contrary to common belief, stress could very well be an outcome of poor physical, mental or emotional health. Some symptoms to identify stress are: change in behaviour (from engaged to withdrawn, from bright and cheerful to being indifferent), anxiety, the inability to concentrate, memory lapses, worry, feeling irritable, weight loss/gain, frequent colds and infections...”

Here are some stress busters Dr McCraken suggests that will help you cope through the rough and tumble of exam pressure…
-
Clear the mind: Relax the mind by taking three deep abdominal breaths.
-
Positive approach: Tell yourself that you can do it! Always have a positive outlook.
-
Good regular sleep: At any time of your life cycle, you should ideally have 6- 8 hours of sleep on an average.
-
Power naps: Power naps of 10 minutes started with deep breathing help in clearing the mind and allowing it to take a break.
-
Eat right: Take small meals (a balanced diet) often, rather than one large meal, and do try not to eat any junk food. Time your meals right.
