We often stress over everything, whether it has already happened or is about to happen. But we forget that taking too much stress won't make things go the way we want. For example, if you have exams, you might start stressing about small things, like where to start, how many days it will take to complete your syllabus, or comparing yourself to others who might be doing better. Before you even begin, you've already assumed you'll fail.
Think about it,your syllabus is right in front of you. No one has taken your books away, and no one has told you to stress. It's completely up to you. Your performance will depend on how well you prepare. Stressing won't help; in fact, it will make things worse. You're making things harder for yourself and adding more problems to the ones you haven't solved yet.
It's normal to feel worried about exams because you want to do well for yourself. Your parents may also have expectations, and you don't want to disappoint them. This adds to your stress. Instead of focusing on doing your best, you keep worrying about letting them down.
But stressing too much is not helpful-it's harmful. It affects your mental health, stops you from being productive, and damages your confidence, which you worked so hard to build.
Take a moment to think. Be wise, stay productive, and focus on doing your best. Don't let other people's high expectations overwhelm you. Work hard, but don't burden yourself unnecessarily. Growth comes from effort, not from worrying about things that won't happen if you stay focused.
You are jumping to conclusions even before trying or doing anything. If you want good results, you need to focus on the process first. Instead of wasting all your energy stressing about the result, use that energy to do better in the process. Only when you focus on the process will the result improve.
