Do you feel stressed by the amount of review or exams you have? Or do you tend to panic right before going to an exam? Mindfulness and Breathing Techniques for Exam Revision Mindfulness and breathing techniques can help you enter your body and mind into a state of calm that helps you relax and focus. By simply focusing on nothing but breathing in and out for one minute, you can slow down your heart rate by calming your nerves and your overworked mind. You can practice this sitting or standing with your eyes open or closed or even while walking to the exam room.
Here's how in 4 easy steps
Hold your breath for a second.
Exhale slowly through your mouth for four seconds.
Repeat for a minute or more if you like and you should feel a difference in your mood!
If the 2-1-4 count feels too short, try lengthening your breath a bit. As you exhale more than you inhale, you'll feel the calming benefit!
top tip
During your breath, if you find yourself distracted by worry, try counting each breath and count one as you exhale. The next time you exhale count to two and so on to five. Then start a new cycle by counting one on the next exhalation. This will help you focus and be more mindful.
