Tip 24
Check on your emotions

Our emotions determine our energy levels. What is your energy level today? Is it because of any particular emotion?

If it is a negative/painful emotion, talk it out, share with someone. This will help you to return to your study.

If it requires more attention than talking, see which shortest way can be taken to address that emotion.

Tip 27
Mindfulness


Check in on your mind about where is it? What is it thinking?

In Psychology, we learn that these thoughts ultimately create strong beliefs in our mind. And these beliefs in turn shape our actions as well as emotions.

Tip 29
Prioritise your preparation

You have been prioritising your UPSC preparation from other tasks and commitments.
But, in that preparation as well, there are still some things which can be cut short and you need not be sorry!

1. Being busy and owning your time : You might not be available for your roommates, group discussions just like before and it is okay.

2. Setting boundaries for yourself: You might have to say NO to helping others for the study material, NO to discussion calls and so on....This is completely fine at this juncture of your preparation.

3. Not being perfect always: Not all days are going to be just the same. Not all days you might be able to follow THE exact schedule of studies.

4. Crying for showing emotions : On a call with friends at home, with family you may burst. And it's ok. Do not be sorry for having these emotions about the exam.

Tip 30
Watch your beliefs

Beliefs are concentrated or the most repeated thoughts in your mind. They may not have any reality base. What you keep saying to yourself really matters.

So, talk a little nicer to yourself today and always 🌻

Tip 31
Wellness diet

Because ultimately, all these sources will contribute in forming your belief system. Your daily thoughts.

During exam time, specifically, be mindful of what all you are consuming.

1. Limit watching toppers' videos. Select one or two if they motivate you but do not go for listening new ones. These videos might disturb your strategy of studying.

2. Limit your consumption of overall web series/YouTube videos. If you are mindfully watching some content, it is okay. Otherwise screen time is going to affect your concentration.

3. Be mindful of whome you are spending time.

Tip 32
Limit your screen time

You can limit your screen time by asking these questions to yourself. When you reach the time limit of your scrolling time, ask these. Additionally you can ask:

1. Is this content helpful for my UPSC prelims?
2. Is it really helping me to calm down?
3. Can I afford to spend this much time watching this, right now?
