thoughts bother us during this time :
1. What will happen?
2. What will appear in the paper?
3. Will I be able to perform well?

When we look closely at these
sentences, we find that all of them are in
future tense
Although we may feel at this moment
that just by thinking like this, it might
become true.

But you will agree that this is not so.
All these thoughts are Imagined Feared
Consequences, entirely a part of our
imagination.

To deal with this follow the following
simple steps :
1. Think about : How will I write my
exams after I have fully recovered from
this state of fear and stress?

of any kind.
3. What massive steps am I ready to take
to achieve this stress free state?
4.Demonstrate these to yourself and
others.
