Overthinking is one of the most common concerns we all face in our lives. It can hamper our preparation and can also get frustrating to deal with.

Here are a few tips from today, on "Stop Overthinking, Start Performing"

1 โ€” ๐ŸŽง Pause the Loop

Your brain is playing the same โ€œWhat if I fail?โ€ track on repeat.
๐ŸŽฏ Ask: What emotion is driving this โ€” fear, guilt, pressure?
๐Ÿ’ก Spotting it is like finding a leak before fixing the pipe โ€” you stop the source, not just the sound.

Pin pointing the exact cause is the first step towards stopping this loop.

2 - ๐Ÿ”„ Switch the Tab

Stuck in mental reruns about your mistakes?

๐Ÿ›  Cook, stretch, or tidy your desk.
This distraction works just like switching tabs when your laptop freezes โ€” you return with a refreshed mind.

3 โ€” ๐ŸŒฌ Reset Your Mind

Exam anxiety rising?

๐Ÿซ Hand on chest, hand on belly โ€” inhale 4s, hold 4s, exhale 6s.

Itโ€™s like pressing โ€œresetโ€ on a frozen screen. Two minutes = calmer, clearer you.

This is also helpful to calm your mind from intense emotions.

4 - ๐Ÿœ Hunt the ANTs

ANTs = Automatic Negative Thoughts (โ€œI canโ€™t clear thisโ€).

๐Ÿ““ Write them, question them, replace them. Your thoughts impact your emotions and actions.


Termites destroy wood; ANTs destroy confidence โ€” act fast.

5 โ€” ๐Ÿš€ Jump In

Overthinking your plan is like standing at the poolโ€™s edge debating water temperature.

๐Ÿ’ก Only action will tell. Start with one small step โ€” 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.

๐ŸŒŸ โ€œDonโ€™t get bitter, get better.โ€ โ€“ Tiger Woods

Failures, unfair results, slow progressโ€”bitterness is natural. But staying stuck there only drains you.

Psychological flexibility means:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Feel the bitterness, but still choose to move forward.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Carry the pain, but still work on growth.

Thatโ€™s how aspirants turn setbacks into comebacks. ๐Ÿ’ชโœจ

When you feel the pressure of UPSC prep, rememberโ€”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. Itโ€™s proof that your journey matters.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Next time the pressure mounts, remind yourself: This is not a burden, this is privilege.
