With so much riding on exams it isn't hard to understand why they can be stressful
For most people, studying and the lead up to exams can be stressful. The pressure to remember and then deliver a term or even a year’s knowledge on a subject on a few pages in just a short period of time can sometimes seem insurmountable. It can be GCSEs, A-Levels, University Degrees the pressure can seem to grow with time. Sometimes we search for ways to distract ourselves and procrastination can become a destructive alternative.
But you don’t need to worry as help is at hand…
Scientific Research has proven that not only exams are stressful (like we needed telling) but also that there are effective ways of reducing that stress. But wait it gets better…
Researchers at Imperial College studied the impact of Self-Hypnosis techniques and Johrei (a Japanese procedure for Stress reduction) on students at exam time and they found that compared to a control group the Self-Hypnosis and the Johrei groups both benefited from reduced stress and better immunity to illness!
This isn’t just some anecdotal or survey based research (you know at innervision we like our research) – they actually measured chemicals and processes in the body and can quantify the results.
Unfortunately we cannot share the complete papers with you (Imperial College would not be happy) but the Abstracts are here to view and the complete papers can be purchased from PubMed.
The impact of self-hypnosis and Johrei on lymphocyte subpopulations at exam time: a controlled study
Cellular and humoral immunity, mood and exam stress: the influences of self-hypnosis and personality predictors
At innervision we based the Study & Exams self-hypnosis audio title on both research papers and the ability to reframe revision as an enjoyable and rewarding activity (and when you value the results it surely is!) It’s amazing when we harness the power of intention.
When You Enjoy Revision and Study it becomes easy to find the time and you retain more information. Exams can become an opportunity to show how much you have learned.
Knowing how to manage your motivation and then how to switch it off and relax, so that your down time helps replenish your energy is such a powerful tool for learning and passing exams.
Why do so many people make it difficult for themselves?
Study & Exams – Study Motivation can help you easily and quickly get into the correct head space to start revising, enjoy it and achieve your best at Exam-time.
