1. Make your homeroom a “Breather” space

If you are feeling like you are stuck somewhere during your classes, consider creating a space which helps to relax, unwind, and de-stress yourself. Consider having a calming noise machine set up in the bedroom to calm your nerves down. Have light bulbs set on a low brightness to make your room look brighter. Also try using meditation apps such as Headspace, Calm, Relax, Deep Breathe. You may use any of the above mentioned apps for relaxation which will surely help in boosting your emotional state and helping you with your exams. Just choose the one that works best for your needs. Set aside time aside for yourself and do whatever you feel necessary. This would give you a new perspective and attitude towards life which will undoubtedly change everything around you to better your moods!

2. Focus on yourself and be proud of the effort

For academic motivation, before starting off with the study material, we must start off by finding our strengths and weaknesses and working on them by focusing on ourselves. Think about your weaknesses and think how you can overcome those weaknesses by working harder. Then try and do not let a single bad event impact your motivation. Instead, start focusing on positive events and achievements that you have got. Once you have started enjoying life again, try and focus on building a stronger self. Start thinking about your future goals and do whatever is required to achieve them and be proud. All of these things will eventually become part of your daily routine and will boost your confidence level to tackle those upcoming examinations.

3. Develop healthy relationships with friends

Being mentally healthy means being socially healthy too and directly affects motivation in education. Making friends who have similar goals, goals in life, desires etc., is very important as they can support you from good aspects. Try and establish good relationships with your classmates to share your thoughts on studies, discuss problems etc. There are many ways in which you can create these types of friendships but it does not matter which type of friendship you create. Whatever works best for you! As long as you are happy and content with yourself, then you will never be stressed as there will always be someone who cares.

4. Read inspirational books & read more about studies

Whenever you feel like giving up on studying, take inspiration from books and read more about studies. Reading can be considered as the most effective method to improve your memory so try and avoid procrastination. Always remember to prioritize your study before anything else! This not only helps you get through the syllabus in a shorter span but also saves a lot of unnecessary stress and negative emotions inside. Don’t forget to include reading into your daily routines so that you can continue improving your knowledge level throughout your entire lifetime.

5. Avoid lack of sleep

Your body needs sleep in order to regenerate itself, focus, think clearly, develop new ideas, etc. It is a fact that lack of sleep leads to low concentration levels and overall poor performance levels. When you are sleeping, the amygdala in your brain comes online and decides that you are tired and decides to stop working, thus, preventing you from getting the much-needed sleep. Therefore, if you want to concentrate on your studies even while you sleep, try and schedule it accordingly so that you don’t miss any lecture or assignment due to fatigue. Not just this, but try and schedule a full seven hours of sleep every night. Remember, that if you don’t sleep enough, it doesn’t mean that you won’t perform well in any coursework, assignments, exams, projects, etc. It simply means that your body isn’t able to handle all the tasks during the day efficiently. As a result, it affects all spheres of life. Try your best to avoid the effect of lack of sleep.
