Cope with results anxiety with ease

How anxious are you?

During times of uncertainty or worry it often helps to pin down exactly what you’re feeling. But how can you make sense of what may be just a vague feeling of discomfort?

You can begin by figuring out what kind of anxiety you have according to what you’re doing, feeling, or thinking.

What are you doing?

• You are pacing up and down
• You are getting short-tempered with people
• You cry easily
• You are sleeping too much or too little

What are you feeling?

• Your heart is beating faster
• You have headaches or muscle pains
• You don't feel like eating
• You are feeling sick to your stomach
• You are feeling shaky, weak, or dizzy
• You have a choking feeling in your throat and chest

What are you thinking?

• What are you telling yourself about your situation?
• What do you believe will happen?

Getting to know about how your body is responding to the anxiety is one of the first measures to coping with it. Identifyas to what exactly you are feeling and where exactly your normal body routine is going wrong. After you are able to do so, try going back to the normal routine.

For eg- if you generally have your lunch at a certain time, but are not feeling hungry today, convince yourself to eat at least a wee bit. The idea is to trick your body into believing that everything is going on as usual and there’s no need for releasing those extra stress hormones.

Also, divert your mind to talk to yourself and plan about more important issues like your career options and BE READY WITH A BACKUP PLAN on that if by chance the results are not as good as you had expected.

Exercising and deep breathing exercises are also very effective in reducing stress, and you should go for a walk or a quick jog and see how light you feel when you return home!

Hope you score great tomorrow! Don’t worry, you’re not alone!

Good Luck!
