You've worked your tail off to get to this
point. You're took your GMAT prep course and you're sitting for the test next
week, tomorrow, or in an hour. It's time to take a deep breath, feel your body
and celebrate your accomplishments. Research shows that mindfulness practices
can reduce text anxiety and the outcome can reflect in your results.
Here are some tips for you as you finish your GMAT prep course:
A week before the test...
- Get out and take a walk, preferably in nature. Put down the earbuds and be with your thoughts. Are you feeling confident? What is your gut telling you to do to prepare?
- Journal about your reflections and then put whatever revelations came to mind into action.
A day before the test...
- Pull out that journal one more time. Write about your accomplishments and the gratitude you feel for the people who helped you to get to where you are now.
- Find a quiet place to sit and give yourself the gift of a five minute meditation. Quiet your mind. Any thoughts that surface, gently acknowledge them, then let them go. Focus on your breath and be in your body.
- Take a few minutes to recognize any self doubt that may arise about your preparation for this test. Are your thoughts valid or are they lingering from some old childhood insecurity? Stay positive.
The day of the test...
- If people are wishing you well, acknowledge their support with gratitude. They believe in you. Go into this test believing in yourself.
- Take a few deep breaths before you start the test. Close your eyes and feel confident that you worked hard to get here and it's time for that GMAT prep course to pay off.
