A WHILE STUDYING INITIATIVE

Know your Fears (Phase 1): Now Going On

Solve Your Fears(Phase 2) : NEXT WEEK 7 DAY LONG DISCUSSION(2nd August to 8th August)

Fight your Fears(Phase 3) : 7 DAY LONG SELF ASSESMENT (9th August To 15th August)

Sometime Back I asked myself what is Life?

I was answered by a corner of my mind. It reads

"Life is Giving your Best

In what you Love

Even If it Fails

Don't Fear to Get Up."

There's an Saying from a Chinese Military General Sun Tzu If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

Well Most of us are Studying, And Trust me when I say that sometimes its really really tough, Sometimes it Just Goes over your head and you just wanna QUIT IT! Like I Have Had Enough of your BEEEP (CENSORED lol)

So here I came out with this crazy plan to ask you each and every one of you, Two Questions?

(Don't worry No-matter how old you are. You'll be able to answer cause I know that you have gone through phases sometime in your life. Dude its Normal!)

So I say to you, lets #FACEIT! Today here #RightNow!

Questions

>What is that Number 1 Problem YOU face when you are studying?(Mine Being Distraction)

>What is that Number 1 Fear YOU Have when the word study comes in your head?(Fear that I will end up doing nothing)

Ask yourself and when you get that RAW answer Post it out Here.

And as a Community we will face it.

Whenever I have to study for big tests (or even little tests) I try to find a quiet, distraction-free place. Libraries are great for this - they also tend to make you feel smarter... I think it's because everyone is so productive so you feel like you also have to be productive.

Anyway! I also find little ways to reward myself. For example: If I memorize these ten concepts/phrases/words/etc. I can eat four gummy bears. It may sound silly, but little things like that can be great motivators!

If you have high anxiety when taking tests, talk to someone at your school about accommodations. I've found that many schools are willing to let you take a test in a different room, allowing more time and less stress.

Most definitely. I think all students have some degree of these problems. Not everyone can relate to test anxiety, but I think we've all procrastinated at least once. ;)

Technically, you study better in the library because you feel like other people are also studying and they are watching if you don't study, am I right? lol

As a student you should always keep in mind that Hard work always pays off, when you know that you've studied hard for an exam/test, you dont have to worry, dont panic just have confidence in yourself and do your exams knowing that you will past. it would also help to studying a day or two before the exam do your brain could get the rest it needs in order to process everything on that.

I got told that. And I got told to picture myself on the day of the exam. Walking into the room, receiving the exam, and taking the exam while remaining calm through the whole thing. I'm gonna try it when it comes time for midterms and finals.

My number one problem with studying is procrastination.

My number one fear is that I either did not study enough material or the right material for the test

My number one fear is when I have 3 final tests or papers coming up at around the same time. I would often be staying up every night for 1 to 2 weeks.

My biggest fear is to loose my parents. Since I'm 8 I'v decided to die at the moment I loose them. I really don't have friends, I don't usually hang out, and I don't have life goals. No money, no future, no friends, no life , no nothing...

My biggest fear is not to get selected in Mexico for a med upper grade. We have to do a very difficult exam called ENARM, just 1 in 40 get selected, im really scared for that exam, besides, it gives me kind of anxiety because I dont know what to do after I finish med school. Feels like drowning.

Mediocrity may be my biggest. Followed closely by an all consuming fear of failure which makes me hesitant to try my hand at anything new. Finally: the fear of losing an individual who has come to define me as an individual. A parent. A best friend. A guru. All in one.

Studying present many fears and anxieties for me. Mostly, it's the fear of failing and not meeting my own expectations. Not to mention disappointing my family and everyone that expects that I will amount to something great and magnanimous. It's knowing or feeling that if I don't succeed, there will be consequences that may affect my future. Not just my future, but the future of my children and their children. When the word study enters my mind, I enter a defense mode. I prepare for battle. Even if I enjoy the subject matter; no matter how prepared I am, the anxiety, fear and anticipation, overshadows the reality of the situation. I typically do well, despite the fear and anxiety, yet, I'm sure I could do much better if I weren't so preoccupied with the subtext.

I couldn't have said it better to be honest. The fear of the unknown and just not knowing what's going to happen regarding grades or where I'm going to end up. I'm more afraid of failing than I am of dying. At least worms don't care about how many A*'s and A's you get from your GCSES. At least I'd be free of this constant anxiety where I feel like I'm about to throw up every five minutes when I think about how much I've messed up on my exams and how I've fucked up my future entirely.
