8 Keys To Success For Facing Exams (Part 3)

While facing exams, always keep a check on your concentration and ability to focus while studying. Check yourself – Am I taking too long to finish studying or revising a chapter in my course? If yes, check the number of thoughts in your mind. They are not only more in number but many of them are unnecessary and unrelated to your studies – may be of the past or the future or of other people. Reduce these unnecessary thoughts by stopping your studies and remaining silent for 1 minute every hour during the day and giving that short period of time to meditation. This will reduce your thoughts and increase your concentration for the next 59 minutes. Also, as a student, keep in mind that the effort you make now is very important because as per the spiritual Law of Karma, as you sow so shall you reap. The more you study hard, the more you will experience happiness and it will give you strength in different ways not only in the present, but in your future life also. This will make you responsible and focused and you will look at the exam period and the time before that with seriousness.

The seventh key to success for facing exams is an attitude of detachment. As per laws of spirituality, to experience freedom of the mind and success in studies, an important step is detaching yourself from your studies and seeing the task with an attitude of lightness instead of an attitude of attachment, which will make you less stressed and worried about completing the task. To experience detachment, keep your study hours short but full of concentration instead of keeping them long and unfocussed. Lastly and the eighth key to success is reducing the exam pressure by reading atleast one page of spiritual wisdom or knowledge every morning. This could be done before you begin your studies. This will keep you calm, relaxed and positive throughout the day. Remember the mind is like a blotting paper early in the morning and whatever knowledge of positivity you give it, it will absorb very easily and fast. That will keep you full of positive information in the day and also keep your attitude towards your studies positive and full of sure success.
