Exams are a time of pressure, but managing your mental health is just as important as managing your time.
At National Matriculation School, Kathipara, we understand the importance of emotional well-being and equip our students with the tools to stay mentally strong.
Here are simple tricks to maintain your mental health during exams:
1. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation
Even just 5–10 minutes a day of deep breathing, mindfulness, or meditation can reduce anxiety. Apps like Headspace or Calm are also helpful.
2. Regular Exercise
Physical activity boosts mood-enhancing chemicals like endorphins. A simple 15-minute walk, yoga, or stretching session can refresh your mind.
3. Prioritize Sleep
Many students sacrifice sleep to cram more. But lack of sleep reduces memory power, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Aim for at least 7–8 hours every night.
4. Stay Organized
Having a clear study schedule reduces last-minute panic.
- Plan your day the night before.
- Set realistic targets.
This helps reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed.
5. Connect with Loved Ones
Talking to parents, siblings, or friends can ease exam pressure. Emotional support plays a big role in handling stress.
Bonus Tip: Positive Self-Talk
Replace negative thoughts like “I can’t do this” with positive affirmations like “I am well-prepared.” A positive mindset leads to positive results.
At National Matriculation School, we conduct sessions on mental wellness, emotional resilience, and stress management. We aim to raise students who are not just academically brilliant but emotionally strong too.
Exams are only a part of life — not the whole life. Remember, taking care of your mind helps you perform at your best!
