Positive and Negative Stress? Which one? You choose

I know you all will be having exam very soon. I read up some tips to remind you all to cope with the exam stress.

This is taken from a few website and mainly from the BBC 'The ROSE rule'- The shortest and simplest to remember and follow. 

Revise and Recap

Organise time and work

Sleep and rest

Eat healthily

Revise and Recap
Don't do last minute STUDY! You only could do last min revision for all the short notes you have been writing and doing but NOT last minute STUDY! This will add on your stress and anxiety. Do chart and short notes in simple form and all in 1 or 2 blank A4 paper. 

Organise time and work
Getting organised does not mean you must have a routine timetable but make sure you do not miss out the important exam dates and start study what you should. Counting the days would be stressful and frustrating yet I find it useful to make you start to study when the motivation is gone. 

Sleep and rest
Sleep well is important. Do not stay up late too often. Few times is acceptable and understandable but not until you do not even have at least 5 hours of sleep. Rest could be in the form of exercising, sleeping, watching 1 or 2 of your favourite tv show, talking to someone you feel comfortable, chatting, reading, praying and etc. Make sure you have enough and balance. Yet, not too much on chatting and sleeping XD  I recommand exercise, exercise and exercise (can be just walking, cycling, simple strecthing, swimming and etc.) sleep well, talk to poeple you feel comfortable and watch 1 or 2 favourite tv shows ONLY. 

Eat healthily
No drugs, no smoking, no alcohol and no sex! Balance diet, more vegetables, fruits and soya milk or milk. You will definately need more fish and some meat as fish gives more nutrient so it makes you clever XD... Drink plenty of plain water. Drink some tea or coffee each day is acceptable but not more than 1 - 3 cups per day (asian size i mean)

No one could ever escape stress in life. Stress is just another friend after pain. It can be a friend to push us to perform and work better and better or an enermy that make you feel suffering, scared and worry all the time. So, why don't we cope with stress now with a correct way? 

P/S: Anything you could blog it up or share with me. I am here for you to help you in anyway I can.  All the best!
