It's natural to feel stressed during the exam season, but allowing that anxious feeling to consume your mind and body will do you no good.
In fact, being overly stressed can actually deter your chances of success.
By feeling worked up, you will send your body into fight-or-flight mode, and with too much adrenaline and cortisone flying to your brain, you will wind up feeling short of breath, tight-chested, and sick.
The first way to overcome the sensation is by monitoring your breathing.
Take a big breath in through your nose for five seconds, and then slowly exhale through your mouth.
By repeating this for a few minutes, you will moderate your breathing and slow down your heart rate, which will naturally help you relax.
Another way to conquer that negative feeling is through exercise.
When engaging in regular physical activity, our bodies release a feel-good hormone, which instantly lifts our mood, releases unnecessary tension, and helps us relax.
So if you're feeling stressed, why not go for a quick jog around the block or attend a local Zumba class?
The third tip to help you beat the stress is to not overstudy.
