ARE YOU ‘FIT’ FOR THE EXAMS?

The new success mantra is -

‘BE RESTED’



• Students are so wrapped up in preparation work that they hardly spare time for their health now. A few minutes of attention to fitness is not only going to calm your overwrought nerves, but also improve your performance.



BREATHE

• Focus on your breathing. Take deep breaths. Feel your stomach going out as you inhale and going in as you exhale. Take a deep breath and then exhale slowly. Do this about 8-10 times in a row. Repeat whenever you feel tensed or in between topics or subjects. This will take only a few minutes of your time but you will feel the difference. You will feel more relaxed and less tensed and this will improve your concentration.



ENERGISE

You may not have the time now for serious walking or running for the sake of exercise. Try to get as much of walking that you can get. Get up from your seat and walk around for some time. Go to the kitchen and have a glass of water. Go out and take a brisk walk or a jog for about 5-10 minutes and come back refreshed. Repeat this thrice a day. This will give you the much needed break from studies and help your muscles relax while keeping you fit.



RELAX

• Although the exams are knocking at the door, fretting will not help. The nail biting, lip chewing and nervous palpitations will not help you perform well. You have prepared all year through and now is the time for revision. Do not get worked up or tensed. Try to stay as calm as you can be. Worrying will only hamper your studies.



EAT WELL

• Do not skip meals as this will make you feel weak. Begin your day with a hearty breakfast. You can resort to milk and cereal with fruits if you wish to save time. Eat nutritious lunch and dinner too. Remember to eat more fruits and vegetable to store up on vitamins and minerals. This will increase your stamina and prevent you from falling ill.



SLEEP

• Most examinees skip on the daily dose of sleep to put in a few extra hours of studies. Do not sleep for less than six hours a day and try to get a nap in between. If you sleep less than this you will feel tired and sleepy and your efficiency will be less. Do not think of studies while turning in for the night as this will keep you awake. Instead focus on other things like what you would like to do when the exams are over.



TALK

• Discuss your fears and concerns with your parents, teachers or any other person you feel close to. Do not bundle up your worries as this will affect your preparation. Talk about it and feel lighter by the minute.



ENTERTAINMENT

• Once in a while take some time off from studies. Watch television or listen to music. Go out with your family. Meet friends or relatives. Talk for a while on the telephone. Try to steer the topic away from the oncoming exams. Laugh out loud and feel the difference.



DRINK MORE WATER

• Students are so deep in their preparation that they often forget to drink water. Remember to drink at least 8 glasses a day. If you find it cumbersome to get up for a glass every time, keep a bottle of water on your desk. Sip from time to time.



ALL THE BESTSo the success mantra is Breathe, Energise, Relax, Eat, Sleep, Talk,

Entertainment and Drink. Can you make up a word that fits the situation perfectly?
