Anxiety to Perform

Being anxious to perform better may lead to failure. Anxiety clogs the brain and make one lose focus. imagine in a marathon hundreds of people start with the aim of winning the first prize despite knowing clearly that the chance is one in a thousand but they do their best even going to finish. This is because most compete against themselves. They have a target or own record to break. So, set your own target and aim to achieve it.

Fear of Exam: Think Positively

Most people do not want to be tested. In fact very few if none would prefer to go through a test. As a student, this is one of the highly dreaded experience. Our society judge us, judge our worthy, our potential, on how we fair in the exams. This is very unfortunate. A simple tip is to try to understand two out of three concepts taught daily and stop worrying whether the third concept that you did not understand will be in the exam. instead rejoice that you learnt at most two concepts and then focus on this positive note. How can it transform your life for the better? 'Words are like seeds. They have creative power' (Osteen, 2007: 109). If you are always talking of how difficulty life is, then things will be difficult. 'Change the way you speak and think about yourself and you can change your life', (Osteen, 2007: 112). Positivity bleeds positiveness and negativity bleeds negativeness.
