his palms are sweaty,knees weak, arms are heavy
there's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
he's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs
but he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down.....
he open's his mouth but the words won't come out....
Yes, you get it right. It's the words from a song of Eminem. He was describing his feelings before the first time he had to perform on the stage. But does this situation remind you of something? Isn't it you before the exam?
I am sure almost everybody is like that before the exams, no matter whether you know something or you know nothing. Perhaps the last situation is even better because you know that anyway you are going to fail, so there's no need to be afraid.
But what do we have to do when we were preparing for the exam and still our nerves can drive us mad? I will tell you one thing. The only remedy here is you and your head. All our thoughts come out of the head and it is we who produce them. Thus, we can take control of them.
For instance, you think that you won't have the answers on some questions. Turn this thought out of your head. You were studying and you were revising the materials. So why would you have some questions that you don't have the answers for.
It was just an example but I want to say the following. Our thoughts really can materialize. Don't think I'm kidding. If you repeat something in your head for hundred times, it will come true. But do you need your negative thoughts to come true?
So, stop thinking that bull and fill your head with positive emotions and thoughts. This is the best way to stop being nervous before the exams.
