ENERGISE YOURSELF

LONG, STRESSFULL HOURS…

Get physical
Staying awake well into the night t study is counter-productive for most people – thy are so tired that little information is absorbed, and sleep, when it eventually comes, is disturbed. Better to get some quality slumber and tackle the reading tomorrow.
Our fears is always govern our decisions, and if that fear is exam failure, those decisions are likely to include sacrificing breaks, proper meals, exercise, and sleep in favour of endless studying – depleting energy resources further.
Leading a healthy lifestyle shouldn’t be regarded as a luxury or reward. Keep your energy levels up. If necessary, snack at your desk, and regular breaks, even if they just involve 10min of listening to inspiring music between sections of a particularly heavy textbook – your eyes will be grateful. Above a;, get a good sleep. A short walk or deep breathing exercise before you settle down will help you get to sleep faster and wake up brighter.

Think happy thoughts
We all need to unwind – yet students can be remarkably masochistic about relaxing. Once you understand when your body tends to tire, build recreation into your study schedule, free of guilt.
Explore the hobby or sport you have neglected or been meaning to tackle and try to claim at least one morning each weekend in indulge in it – time that’s just for you, not for well-meaning but demanding friends or family.
A diverting pastime will refresh your outlook – a day at work or an evening of lecture notes will seem easier to manage with something to look forward to later. Without that incentive, even the prospect of work or study can bring on fatigue.
