Napolean Bonaparte and I have something in common. As it is said, Napolean was afraid of taking an exam and so do I. I am scared of any kinds of exams no matter what I am prepared or not. I am full of stress at the exam day and the night before.I can not sleep very well at night. During the day, I try not to think of the exam and its results. More interestingly, I always try not to think of the result and just enjoy what I am doing. However, I still have the stress.I can not eat breakfast. That is really harmful both for the test and my body. But, automatically, I do not have appetite.I always try to calm myself by breathing deeply and meditation. Consequently, I become more relaxed but it is not ideal.I would like to ask you what you do to control the exam pressure. Please share your ideas here. Thanks.
I find it easier to control stress after reading Eckhart Tolle's book "A New Earth". It may be difficult reading for second language learners, but advanced learners can try it. Perhaps it has been translated into your native language?
