From Study Stress To Study Success: 14 Tips That Will Take You To The Top

By Lachlan Haynes


Feeling burnt out? Feeling tired? Feeling stressed? Feeling like no matter how hard you try you just can't get the grades you want? Well it's time to turn that frown upside down and change all your problems into awesome possibilities!

Below are 14 tips that can turn your study stress into study success in only a few minutes!

1. Create, write down and read your goals. Don't fudge this. Just do it! At the start of every day look at your goals and make sure they are everything you want. Make sure you know what you want from your study and from your life.

2. Move all obstacles that are stopping you achieve your goals. Don't allow time-wasters to suck the life out of you. Get off the X-Box. Get off Facebook. Turn off the TV. You can do this. Know what you want and then get it!

3. Define the actions required and then figure out which ones come first. What will have the most impact right now? What will create the biggest difference straight away? Figure out which actions are the lifeblood of your goals and do them first.

4. Do something! Once you know which actions are your most important actions, take some action! Anyone can make a plan. Anyone can come up with a brilliant idea. Anyone can think of solutions. It's the doing that makes the difference. So take action. Right now! Go, go, go, go, and go. Now.

5. Imagine how successful you are going to be. Focus your thought on your success. Think about all the achievements you are going to have. Think about what it will mean to you when you reach your goals. Focus only on that. Can you taste it?

6. Create affirmations and then read them every day. Write down whatever you need to tell yourself each day to get yourself pumped up, grateful for life and ready to rock. Then make sure you can fit it into your school bag, wallet or purse so that you can read it whenever you want some inspiration.

7. Learn how to breathe and stretch. Yes, we all know how to breathe! But what matters is breathing for the purpose of relaxation. Does it get you into a Zen state of calm? Stretching also helps move the blood around and get you feeling good. So breathe, stretch and repeat. Always repeat. And don't forget to rinse!

8. Watch videos and read books and blogs. Find someone who can make your life better, easier and more enjoyable and then listen to them! Learn the strategies. Apply the strategies. Make your life better, easier and more enjoyable. You don't have to invent things yourself. It really is that simple.

9. Live it and love it. There is no point living your life without passion. You need to find a way to love what you're doing and also do what you love. Nothing in life really matters anyway - except living a life you love. You're here for a short time so make it a good time - and good grades help to get you closer to a very good time!

10. Surround yourself with winners. People who win for a living live a very different life to those that are happy with just going with the flow. If you want to make something of yourself you need to be surrounded by people who also want that - or already have it. Look around. Who are you spending your time with?

11. Drink your way to success! No not booze - water! Drink as much water as you can muster, mister. Eight glasses a day is a good guide. Why? Well, your brain is 75% water. Your blood is 90% water. The body will shut down within days without water. Water prevents illness and disease. Water turns the food you eat into energy. Need we say more? Drink up!

12. Eat smaller means and eat them more often. We all like to eat don't we? Well, most people do anyway. You only have to look around to see how much the world loves eating. But three meals a day isn't quite right. Instead, have 6 meals a day and make them smaller - and healthier. Your body will continually burn the food and won't store it as fat. You're also less likely to become overweight or obese. More meals and less fat? Winning!

13. Attack the four addicts. Coffee, cigarettes, alcohol and sugar - what do they have in common? They're all stimulants. They're all addictive. They're all making you less productive and destroying your body. The solution? Consume them less of course! You don't have to dispose of them completely but reduce, reduce and reduce. The less the better. You will live longer and be healthier.

14. Tense and relax. Tense and relax. Ah! Feel better? Apparently tensing all of your muscles and then relaxing them boosts your immune system and cleans your lymphatic system. What's that? Who cares! Still good for you. Tense and relax, tense and relax. I'm so relaxed right now.

You have the power to make your life whatever you want it to be. But it truly is up to you. You must not allow others or circumstances to prevent you from doing whatever it is you want to do. Take massive action every day and kick some studying butt! Good luck.
