Christmas has been and gone and now, exams have officially arrived. At the moment, college can seem like the last place you want to be. Remember however, you can always find a positive soloution if you look hard enough. As you may have guessed, I myself have exams and now is the best time to find something to look foreward to. My first technique is that before I even think about the exams i must be able to revise accurately and by doing that, I reward myself. Simple. Before you start to think about rewarding yourself with 'food', think of other ways and hopefully you may find some free treats. For example, if i'm revising at home, I may paint my nails if i've done an hours work of revision. This actually helps the brain relax as it is concentrating on one thing and also makes you feel much better.If you aren't a fan of something like this then think about your hobbies and do something about them, ie mine is writing so i would have a warm drink and continue writing but only for pleasure not work.When the exams are all over for you, maybe you or your family could organise a day out or possibly even just going out for a meal with friends because what has been done in the examionations, has been done.
As the half term approaches, it becomes clear that if you are feeling slightly down and/or are sick of routine then you could book a weekend city break or a great day out at a theme park. This will make you feel as if you have earned the trip and if you revise your hardest, when everything is finished it will definately take its toll on how much you will appreciate your reward.
