    How to deal with exam stress

    Always remember:
    1. Not succeeding in exams is not the end of the world. Accept this fact and it will be a lot easier to handle the exams.
    2. Do not compromise on sleep. Lack of sleep makes you lethargic and unwell. Relaxation exercises can help you overcome this.
    3. Do not feel guilty about indulging some time in your favourite hobby; watching your favourite T.V. programme or listening to music which elevates your mood.
    4. Do not clam up. If you are feeling stressed/unhappy, talk to someone. Be realistic about your own capabilities and short-comings. Do not worry about how much your friends have covered .
    5. Stay away from anti-anxiety and sleeping pills.

    Diet Plan for Stress-Free Exams
    When you are tense, gut mobility changes and it can lead to repeated motions, stomachache and cramps. So you need to incorporate fibres in your diet. The best sources for fibre are fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

    There is no substitute to regular home-cooked meals- dal, roti and vegetables. Do not skip any meal. That would add to anxiety and depression.

    For in-between snacks, have yoghurt, dry fruits, chana, fruit chaat, etc. Salads are good substitutes for an elaborate lunch or dinner. No over-eating.

    Must have
    Regular intake of water if the brain is to function well. Dehydration can cause anxiety.

    Two glasses of lemon juice per day to take care of Vitamin C needs. (Whole grains, eggs and vegetables provide Vitamin B.)

    Avoid
    Fatty & sugary foods - as these make you feel depressed; high fat food also makes you sluggish.
    Spicy foods - as they induce laziness.
    Aerated drinks harm the body which is already under pressure.
    Tobacco, cigarettes and coffee can lead to depression; and do not lessen the tension.

    Keep Going:

    Analyse past paper trends.
    Focus on mastering the fundamentals.
    Solve questions yourself (do not read solutions)
    Be patient and persistent in problem solving.
    Lastly keep going; always maintain a positive outlook and believe in yourself.
