3 — 🌬 Reset Your Mind
Exam anxiety rising?
🫁 Hand on chest, hand on belly — inhale 4s, hold 4s, exhale 6s.
It’s like pressing “reset” on a frozen screen. Two minutes = calmer, clearer you.
This is also helpful to calm your mind from intense emotions.

4 - 🐜 Hunt the ANTs
ANTs = Automatic Negative Thoughts (“I can’t clear this”).
📓 Write them, question them, replace them. Your thoughts impact your emotions and actions.
Termites destroy wood; ANTs destroy confidence — act fast.

Overthinking your plan is like standing at the pool’s edge debating water temperature.
💡 Only action will tell. Start with one small step — momentum will do the rest.

Hello aspirants,
There is a lot to learn from sportsmen. In general in life, but as an aspirant a bit more... You will see how.
From today, we will see what some sportsmen have to say about competition, stress management and other cognitive skills.

🌟 “Don’t get bitter, get better.” – Tiger Woods
Failures, unfair results, slow progress—bitterness is natural. But staying stuck there only drains you.
Psychological flexibility means:
👉 Feel the bitterness, but still choose to move forward.
👉 Carry the pain, but still work on growth.
That’s how aspirants turn setbacks into comebacks. 💪✨

When you feel the pressure of UPSC prep, remember—pressure only comes when something is valuable.
It means you are in the game. You are chasing a goal worth fighting for.
Instead of running from pressure, wear it like a badge of honor. It’s proof that your journey matters.
👉 Next time the pressure mounts, remind yourself: This is not a burden, this is privilege.

Ever caught yourself saying "bas thodi der reels dekhleta hu" and then realizing an hour is gone?
That one hour could have been the difference between one more NCERT chapter done... or one more mock test revised.
In this competitive race, the truth is simple, your biggest distraction is also in your pocket. And every scroll is silently costing you marks.
Can you really afford to let your phone decide your UPSC rank?

Today we celebrated Mental Health Day.
Central government's model guidelines for coaching institutes make it mandatory for us to provide professional mental health services to the aspirants. These are totally ignored by most institutes.
LevelUp IAS is the first one who took it seriously. Back in early 2024, we started offering professional mental health services to all aspirants.
It has been more than 1.5 years of our journey now. And its extremely rewarding.
It is done through various topical workshops (sleep cycle, memory enhancement, concentration, screen time, anxiety etc.), one-to-one counselling sessions with mental health professionals, movie screening and mental health campaigns.
It is free, it is for all aspirants.
Here is the video summary. Do watch it...
