Some more Wellbeing Tips for Term 4!
These Wellbeing tips are all about Embracing Change and Exam Preparation!
It is now getting to the pointy end of term, and you may be feeling a little bit uncertain about what is to come as we end the year and head into 2021. This year we have had to deal with a great deal of change. Change can be difficult and uncomfortable, but it also builds resilience. After all… “Change is the only constant in life” - Heraclitus.
One thing that can help us to feel secure during times of change, is to ground ourselves with things we already know and are familiar with.
In the next few weeks, we challenge you to get back to grass roots. Maybe you have friends you haven’t spoken to for a while, or a relative you haven’t called for some time. Perhaps you have put off a hobby that you usually like doing like skating, surfing, horse riding or swimming. Try to pick one thing you would like to do that may have fallen off your radar whilst we have been preoccupied trying to just get through the year.
Stop, slow down, and focus on the now.
Let’s enjoy this time, rather than rushing to the finish line
That’s right, it is getting to the pointy end of term!
Over the next few weeks, you might be experiencing a range of emotions including excitement, uncertainty, stress, and relief. All of these are normal and okay, even though some of them might feel unpleasant!
We wanted to send you some helpful tips and tricks to best tackle your exams:
⁃ Start preparing early. It is simple - The more prepared you are, the less stressed you will be.
⁃ Try to think positively. We know it can be hard, but when you tell yourself ‘I am capable’ or ‘I can do this’, it gives you confidence
⁃ Sleep! Cramming may seem appealing, but it won’t do you any good. Try to best manage your time to study during the day, and get at least 8 hours of sleep during the night.
⁃ Breathe, it’s free! As you head into your exam, take a deep breath. This will help to calm your mind and your body, allowing you to focus more clearly on your exam and feel more in control.
⁃ Make sure you are eating well. This will ensure you have enough energy to concentrate. Try to avoid sugary foods or energy drinks before your exam.
⁃ Get everything ready and packed the night before. This will allow you to have a more relaxed morning knowing that everything is ready for you.
