So imagine what your greatest result of your exam/ interview.

2. Imagine that you are preparing for exam/ interview. Imagine that you are preparing with lot of confidence and seeking clarity from teachers, friends, attending classes all that involved in your preparation.
3. Imagine the day of your exam/interview as if you are being assisted and wishes by your friends, family members and teachers. Listen what they are saying, feel the confidence, see the pictures. Imagine that you are going with lot of confidence as  you prepared so well.
4. Imagine as if you are walking to exam hall with a wonderful smile on your face, joyfully writing the exams, taking additional sheets, completing it so well with great feeling of achievement. Feel the place provides you great energy from the confidence that took exam well.
5. Imagine that as if you got results and you are thrilled with excellent results that you achieved. Imagine that you shared your successful news with all parents, family members and friends. Listen to their wishes, feel that greatest happy feeling, see them celebrating your success, see how you look, how you breath, what you talk yourself when you achieved it now. Brighten that image, add wonderful music to that experience.

Remember…

§  Use positive affirmations. Avoid talking yourself “I don’t know whether I pass or not”. “I don’t know what rank I get”.  This kind of thinking does not give clear signal to the brain. Ask “How should I  prepare to get rank below 20”, “What is the best way to achieve 90% in my exams”

§   Take care of your health. Sound mind lies in sound body. So eat simple, energetic and easily digestible food. Drink more water. Do physical exercise, breathing exercises, meditation and rest well.

§  Think the best possible efforts that you can make at this moment. Don’t start new chapters. Just be confident and go ahead with preparation.

§  Take exams are not your evils, use exams as an opportunity to show your best. Use exams as a flat form to express your inner strengths.

§  Whatever the result, your result is not FINAL RESULT. Your result is the result of your ONE EFFORT. So develop positive and progressive attitude of taking action and accepting results as they are.

§  Think “How can I show wonderful performance in my career graph through my exams?” and act at the level of possibility.

Have a wonderful days ahead….share your experiences of excellence with us.

Cheers
