UPSC exam, undoubtedly, is full of cut throat competition and each aspirant has one just one goal: “to clear the exam”. At Paradigm IAS Academy, we suggest that this spirit is good but it shouldn’t be at the cost of the student’s overall health and well being. Many a time’s students ignore the insurmountable pressure on them and keep going on with the preparations. This more often than not leads to stress and ultimately highly decreases the capability and capacity during the days when exam is nearing.
Stress is the silent enemy that erodes you from within
mentally, physically, emotionally and intellectually. This emotion has the
power to wear and tear your bodies thereby reducing the productivity and
efficiency. And no one wishes to witness such situation.
There is a tremendous need that students should be wise at
devising strategy to manage stress, anxiety and depression; thus, preventing
themselves from poor performance in the exam. Paradigm IAS Academy shares
simple tips to keep stress at bay:
1.
Practice
simple Yoga, Pranayama (breathing practice) and Meditation ( for 10-15
minutes). These are some of the finest ways to de-stress the mind and gain the
ability to manage stress, anxiety and depression. This stress buster not merely
calms you down but also increases memory, concentration and grasping power.
2.
Sound
sleep is very essential as it has the capacity to freshen you up and enhance your
memory and recalling power.
3.
Practice
some sports like morning or evening walking, brisk walk (top 10 benefits of
Brisk Walk), cycling, swimming, jogging, etc.
4.
