How to deal with...

Hello lovelies,
I want to talk about
Revision

So, I have to confess that I am a bad one for leaving revision to the very last minute or not really doing any at all !(slaps self on wrist) but when I have an important exam coming up I literally panic and STRESS OUT and then get annoyed about the hold it ha over me. Not a good place to be I end up despising teachers and school itself...
So I got to thinking and I thought that I would need to come up with ways to make revision bearable and how to balance it with my life to AVOID STRESS because stress is the worst thing for you boys and girls. Here are some handy little tips to help you get yourself together...  

Plug in your headphones, it can put your mind in focus and block out distractions, it can calm you down if your stressed and generally make you feel happier. It's good to make playlists of music you love or that makes you feel relaxed. Another thing to do is listen to the radio because then you don't put your whole mind to the music you are listening too, you are just letting it play. I ALWAYS listen to music when revising.

Keep a planner that's clear colourful and tells you exactly what you need to do. It gets your head in order and gives you a simple guide to achieving what you want to achieve.

Have a nicely set out desk, helping you think clearly and somewhere where you feel comfortable and relaxed. Somewhere you're happy to be so you can make studying as pleasurable as possible.

 

Make yourself a cuppa tea or  a hot chocolate, it keeps your brain concentrated and keeps you comfortable, giving you something nice to cope with load of work 

Dark chocolate has actually been proved to help concentration, I really find that it helps to suck on a square of dark chocolate whilst studying, it definitely makes it more bearable and helps keep my mind on the work.

Wear comfortable clothes, so you're t worrying about it. Cosy socks can really put you into a good mood and make revising a better and more comfy experience. Don't go all out though and wear pj's you want clothes that you won't fall asleep in, you need to stay awake. Just remember to keep warm and comfortable. 

Lastly make sure to take regular breaks and don't turn down too many social opportunities usually when you are busy and happy you are more motivated to do work, if you leave yourself isolated you won't be in the right mindset to study. You need to remember to have a change of scenery from your desk and you will feel a lot better. 

I hope this helped you, good luck with revising and your work, I'm sure you'll do well xxxxx 
Loads of love
