Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
Follow the following tips to reduce your stress to manageable levels! Avoid
“Must” think. Let go of the notion that you must do something in a certain
way—for example, “I must get a great score on a test, or else.” This thought
pattern only adds to the stress you’ll feel. Evaluate your situation coldly and
analytically, and not as a “life or death” situation. Watch the Mess. Don’t
study in a messy or cramped area. Clear yourself a nice, open space that’s free
of distractions. Set Manageable Goals. Break large projects into smaller and
doable parts and you’ll feel a positive sense of accomplishment as you finish
each part.
Ocean Dumping. Visualize yourself walking on a beautiful beach, carrying a
sand pail. Stop at a good spot and put your worries into the pail. Drop the pail
and watch as it drifts away into the ocean. Think Good Thoughts. Create a set
of positive but brief affirmations and mentally repeat them to yourself just
before you fall asleep at night, and you will feel a lot more positive in the
morning. Imagine
Yourself Succeeding. Close your eyes and remember a real life situation in
which you did well. Imagine facing your stressful situation with the same
feelings of confidence. Use Your Bed for Sleeping, not Studying. Your mind may start
to associate your bed with work, which will make it harder for you to fall
asleep. |
