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.

LOVE Samenlightened

My problem when trying to study is I get distracted by the internet or TV often and I feel I can't focus on studying. I turn of the TV and try to get off the computer, but at times I need the internet to look at the classes powerpoint slides and end up finding myself watching videos on the internet instead.

My fear when I hear the word study is that I'm going to end up not studying the right material correctly and I'll do terrible on the exam. I'm a perfectionist and that makes it worst at times because I worry so much that I missing an important part to study on. This is not good at times because I end up focusing too much on one exam and not all the exams I have for the week.

Fears will always exist, no matter what you decide to pursue degree wise. The fear of failing, being alone, spending every waking hour trying to fit in and get away from the shadows that threaten to consume your heart, and trying to please everybody.

I'm always afraid that I'm going to fall behind in classes and that I'll never catch up in time due to absences or other dates that can't be changed. I'm afraid of working myself into hospitalization, afraid I'm going to slip under so far that I can't reach the surface of reality.

@Zinnia Its beautiful that way you put it in. I'm amazed If I may ask you are you a poet or a writer like in your freetime? If you are then you have my regards friend and if not then I would request you to start it. I really liked the way you put it in, its amazing.

Indeed, I am a poet. Just like musical notes that dance throughout the air as I sing to my hearts' content, I also watch as the feelings that dwell within me fall onto pages and documents, finally releasing the lock on what I keep hidden beneath the surface.

@Zinnia

"So Glad to meet you fellow Poet
As from Stranger Now I request you to become my friend.
Those Notes play in my minds too
My Heart beats in similar tunes
Words do the magic to set me apart
From morning skies to the night stars
I love what I do,
For I can be only Human
transcendental are my poems
for they are my reason of existence"

The one problem I face is I need a lot of food to study haha. Especially when I'm studying late night for an exam. I need to watch my weight... :P

I am afraid that I won't be able to understand what I'm studying most of the time and will panic if I don't get the answer to a problem. This makes me feel hopeless about myself because I 'cannot even solve THIS question??'

I fear for my future, of failing, of making and losing friends, of being ridiculed or set up, of being betrayed, of not being believed in, of my parents, of my sister, and of my own mind.

@samc95xc Is it possible to have depression and still be happy sometimes? Like have good days or good moments? I don't want to drag attention to myself if I'm just over exaggerating...

@Elinxs27 Friend why not. I believe (I mean I may be wrong but its my personal experience) I think depression is a phase , like its a cycle of being good and bad.

Happy and sad.

I felt it that way. Maybe Im Bi-Poler or I dont know.

Love

Sam

one of the problems i face while studying is a lack of motivation to start and to carry out all of that work. also, i never really learned how to study, so that's a pretty major issue too.

i fear that whatever studying i do accomplish when i find the motivation will be innaccurate or sub par. i feel like there's a very high expectation to study a certain way, and when that way doesn't work for others they get put down for trying something different. so, i guess i fear judgement.
