Combating exam stress


Hi guys.

How is your study break? Hope that you able to catch some sleeps and take good care of your body. People are more vulnerable when they are under stress compared to normal stage. Take good care of your health so that you would not fall sick.

Remember what I said in our "Coping with Exam Stress" talk last week? When you are under stress, remember to ~BREATHE~ breathe in deeply and slowly, breathe in lungfuls of air... then you would realize that you gradually become less nervous, because deep breathing helps to slow down your heart rate and pulse. It helps you to relax. (p.s. for those who missed it, never mind. We will have something similar for the incoming students in next semester.)

BTW, I would like to share a video with you guys. It is a good clip for relaxation technique - deep breathing. Remember to close your eyes when you listen to it. :)







Of course, if you prefer some relaxing music to listen to, I would recommend this one: Nature is always good.






Good luck for your exam. Hope that you may pass your first semester with flying colours.


your counselor,
