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

#thoughts

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.

Tip number 11
Don't compare your prep with others
You are surrounded by aspirants. Everybody must be following some study material, some strategy.

Right now, when the prelims are a few weeks away, let's not compare our strategy with others. Seek guidance from your mentors and not peers.

This will boost your confidence and minimise your distraction about what others are doing.

Stay focused on your preparation.

Tip 10
Promise and give yourself a reward

We have seen 8-9 tips so far. It is important to appreciate and reward ourselves. If you are able to follow any new practice out of these tips, do not forget to reward your self.

The reward can be simple and small for now, till the prelims are over. Reward should not be something which distracts you for a longer duration.

1. 5 mins extra walk in the garden
2. Some extra mins of YouTube
3. A favorite fruit
4. The food you enjoy (once a week)
5. A phone call to a friend (set the time limit).
6. Wear your best clothes which are with you.
Etc

This will keep you motivated to add new habits.

Tip 9
Park your thoughts away for later

All your thoughts are free but some of them are a trap like this cheese!

Once you start observing your thoughts as a third person, ask those thoughts these questions:

1. Are these thoughts helping me in my preparation?
2. Are these thoughts healthy?
3. Are these thoughts bringing the best in me?

If not, they don't deserve the attention/space in your mind. Write them down and keep the paper away.
