TEN WAYS TO BEAT EXAM STRESS

1. Set realistic expectations
It's rare for anyone to jump three grades higher overnight, so students should try not to set unrealistic goals. It is much better to plan grade improvement over a realistic time period. When expectations become more reasonable, we gain a sense of control in our lives and are able to plan and prepare ourselves both physically and psychologically.

2. Get physical
Exercise releases endorphins, which are the body's natural stress-relieving hormones. They help to dissipate much of the excess energy we build up through a heavy workload. Students should choose a form of exercise they enjoy in order to maintain motivation.

3. Prepare ahead
Advanced preparation will help students deal with exams much more effectively than being unprepared. We feel much better approaching an unfamiliar situation when we have done a bit of background research, so it is time well spent.

4. Take a break
Obvious, perhaps, but it's surprising how many people forget how important this is. Students should pace themselves during revision and take a breather every once in a while. Making time to recharge physical and emotional batteries increases productivity and reduces stress levels.

5. Relax
Any conscious effort to relax, both mentally and physically, will reduce stress. Simple activities, from curling up with a good book to singing in the shower, can bring about a state of relaxation, which is important in counterbalancing the body's response to stress.

6. Cut back on caffeine
Most of our caffeine intake comes from coffee or coke and, in small amounts, can help to keep us awake and focused. However, we only have a certain level of caffeine tolerance, so when our intake becomes excessive, we can become irritable and distracted. Similarly, alcohol or cigarettes are not the answer as they make our stress symptoms worse.

7. Get enough sleep
Sufficient sleep is essential for normal brain development. Adrenaline rushes brought about by stress can make it difficult to sleep at night and, over time, can lead to fatigue and low productivity. The average student needs about seven to eight hours sleep.

8. Balance work and leisure
"All work and no play, makes Ratna a dull girl," so the saying goes. But in today's world, you could add that it makes her stressed and unbalanced too. If we are to maintain a healthy perspective at school and at home, it is essential that we devote a good portion of our time to family and friends as well as individual pursuits.

9. Have a laugh
Humor can reduce stress. It puts uncomfortable feelings into perspective, giving us greater distance from them and releasing emotional discomfort and pain through the pleasure of laughter. So, the pressure is getting too much, students should stick on a comedy video or go out with friends. Some even advocate forcing yourself to laugh until you feel good.

10. Talk about your feelings
Whether you call it, venting or getting emotional support or letting it all hang out, there is no question that talking about feelings is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress. Students will feel much better if they let someone know they are struggling, rather than keeping things inside and doing nothing about them.

what is love? can love be measured? how do you know if you are in love? i really wonder what is the answer for this questions. Actually, i am sure that everyone has different answer for each of this questions. I don't know what is love and i dun know how to measure it but i do know i am in love....it wasn't long till i realized that he is the ONE! No matter how many guys come into my life, he still is the ONE...Though he don't really know my existence, i still know that he is exist around me all the time...There was moments that we had together secretly without other realizing. We talked through our secret eye language...Although, we are not friends, we do still have secret link between us which only we understand... We had little talks which are not direct, we sang songs together but again that was indirectly...There was a time where we both were at two different corner, far apart and yet our eyes met and once again words was spoken secretly....All this moment that i treasured is priceless....i wouldn't want to miss these moments for the world.... Will my guy realize me? will i ever get to be with him? will i get answers to these questions? nobody will know what will happen in future? So, till then i will continue to treasure my secret moments with him and only him.....

P.S. DON'T FORGET TO TREASURE YOUR MOMENTS WITH THE LOVED ONE'S......
