MANAGING ANXIETY

Your ability to manage your fear or nervousness towards your academics i.e. classes, tests, performance.

You find yourself getting nervous and worried about school work and notice it impacting your life – you may struggle to concentrate, relax or sleep.

You often stress about a test and fear failing.

You worry about your performance on an assignment which can interfere with getting it done.

Breathe & Talk

Practice deep breathing; in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Speak back to your anxiety. Let it know you see it trying to protect you and what you’re doing to prevent what it fears.

Focus on the process versus the end result.
Rather than worrying about your final grade, focus on what you are currently doing to be successful.
