I am not harsh, rude, or disrespectful but I am going to tell you the truth because you are asking for that. If you want a lie or support that you know is invalid because you question it yourself, please don't get mad at me for the truth because that is what sets us ALL free!! Peace, Venom



advice

I am very stressed out at the moment, to the point where I am continuously having trouble falling asleep, focus when I really need to, keep myself motivated, etc., etc. I am preparing for one of the most important exams of my academic (and professional) life, the dreaded LSAT, and the stress is, of course, doing absolutely nothing to improve the situation; it's debilitating in a way. I understand that most people who have to take this exam are stressed- the whole law school application process, along with this exam, is enough to drive more than a couple people berserk. But the thought that everyone in this boat goes through this is doing nothing to help.

I thought I'd ask for some advice on how to manage stress...it could only help. For anyone (and I imagine it's lots of people) who has had test anxiety, stress of any sort, actually, what are some good (and healthy) ways to manage the stress and keep focused? It's getting in the way of everything...so any advice is appreciated.

I completely understand. I took the CPA exam and it was stressful. I couldn't eat or sleep. I found out that studying too much causes you to forget and stress more.

I wanted to go to law school at first, but it would've been really hard for me to do because I had children at such a young age, but I was thankful to finish college with a double major and take the CPA exam.

Managing the stress - devote a specified number of hours to study do not go over that time. Once completed, light some candles (aroma candles if at all possible), listen to some Floetry and
Maxwell, or some nice soft jazz - Eric Roberson is great, and shut the lights off or turn them down really low, take a hot bath with steam and bubbles, and just chill. Turn off the phone, and the tv this allows your mind to relax. The mind must relax before the body can, seriously.

Change up eating habits, try cutting back on late night snacks, just as they cause nightmares, they also tend to cause the mind to jump everywhere, and that is not relaxing your mind at all, it's doing the complete opposite.

It's great to study, but don't over study it's causing you to stress out more. Trust me you will be just fine, get that confidence up and know that you got this! good luck and take it easy, literally. "smile"
