As MAINS are approaching, try to stick to your plan of preparation. This would be a bad idea to welcome fresh advice about new strategies.

Walk in your lane to stay focussed. This is the last leg! And you can pull it!

#determination

As MAINS exams are approaching, you may feel anxious and you may feel like talking about your strategy/pan with more people, to make sure you are on a right path.

But....

Try not taking guidance from multiple people. This is not a time for a new strategy. Is it?

Believe in your preparation and keep sailing.

#decision #mains

Always tough to initiate a task. Then some excitement and again a tough road to sustain on the task.

Are you taking care of yourself? As there are few days left, selfcare/healthcare becomes even more important.

In our sessions, we have been talking about focussing our breathing. Gentle reminder for all of you to practice breathing awareness 🌼

#selfcare

I must say preparing for UPSC is a test of one's consistency. Do you agree?

The real challenge is: there are many things to be consistent on. If we manage newspaper reading everyday, revision is pending. If we manage both, then exercise is pending.

Don't worry dear friend, you will be able to juggle and maintain the consistency of the most important things.

1. Start slow, keep minimum goals. Gradually build on that.
2. If some things are not possible, don't lose hope. Avoid judging yourself.
3. Take help of your friends and mentors to stay consistent.

#consistency

As the exam time approaches, you will observe that you are overthinking often. Most of the times, you end up thinking about things which are out of your control.

Catch yourself. Breathe and believe you are not your negative thoughts.

You can park all these thoughts for a later day, perhaps a day after your exam. This will help you to focus on here and now.

These can be some affirmations/statements you can say to remind yourself that you are not your negative thoughts.

Robin Uthappa opens up about battle with clinical depression: ‘The toughest opponent I faced wasn’t on the field, it was in my mind’

Open up, seek help, it's all worth it at the end.

I find struggles of sportsmen to be very similar to the struggles of UPSC aspirants. Watch this video and see if you feel connected with him.

Do you tend to feel motivated and then fail to act on that motivation?

Learn some quick strategies to get you going. Join our upcoming workshop 'Delay to Determination' on Sunday 10AM. https://bit.ly/LevelUp_Mindset)

Stress inherently takes us in the past or the present. Take a moment and realise where you are.

Bring yourself in the present by feeling grateful, understanding your strengths and accepting your situation.

There is a possibility that Telegram might be banned by the government. So, I have created an official WhatsApp channel just in case it happens.

You are all requested to join WhatsApp channel.

All the future content will be shared in both Telegram and WhatsApp.

Apart from encryption, WhatsApp channels have added privacy features. Unlike in Telegram, even the admins cannot know the members there, if they already dont have the phone number saved. So, you are not required to worry about privacy or safety.

So, follow the UPSC Mental Wellbeing channel here and share with others too:

Which mindset do you think will help you more?
