Write down your doubt & improve your scores!
January 14, 2011
Great news! There was a recent study that proves when a student writes down their immediate worries about an upcoming test, it releases a subconscious angst that becomes minimized! Test scores were showing a 5% to 15% improvement over previous scores.
This was not a random one time event….this was done repeatedly with large groups of students….and each time the group of students who “wrote & released” had better scores, than the students taking the exact same test in a different room! HOW COOL!
Simply writing down what you are concerned about…fearful of screwing up….actually helped you.
Why burden yourself with worry? Simply write and release…..simply write and release.
It is simple and cathartic and it works!
I speak on the power of the mind, and have been involved in clinical hypnosis for years. Many of your talents are held back because you are scared, apprehensive and simply do not have the confidence in yourself to achieve so many, many things!
Be creating a different mind set, you create an internal visual of confidence that comes out thru many aspects of your personality. If you choose not to make any of these changes….than you will succeed….and NOT change anything. How sad!
Give yourself the permission to make changes within your life. Because by choosing to make changes…you can.
How many of you simply keep on doing the “same old routine”…and never change? It is not easy to change. It is uncomfortable and most people buck it.
By choosing to take even a few steps that are different, you will begin to see positive changes within your life.
Here’s another study was done that really should be considered a NO BRAINER!
College students prefer praise and positive reinforcement over that of booze, sex….and even money. Duhhh!!!!
But yes a study was done nationwide and it reinforced that students respond to praise more than anything else. It really is the power of words. If someone believes in you and praises you or makes even a simply positive statement…you respond in a different way. A positive way!
Like I said it IS the power of YOUR mind. How you believe in yourself and how you perceive yourself can make a dramatic difference academically, socially and personally.
This is a unique journey that you are on, going thru life. Take some control and make it rock.
It truly is “all in your mind!”
How cool!
Confidence in college can be yours thru each semester…and can continue to grow as you enter and begin your career.
Bring Eileen Strong to speak at your college and take those next steps of confidence. The payback will be incredible!
Mid Term Mania….it's almost here!
October 15, 2009
Believe it or not, those mid term tests are almost here. I have a great technique that will help you remember more and feel less angst when taking your tests. Here is the best way to remember more….
Whenever you are studying, always break it into 20 to 25 increments. Then take a 3 to 5 minute break…come back…sit down and study again for another 20 to 25 minutes. You can do this for 3 or 4 hours….if you need that much time to remember the data.
But this technique does work and you can change your patterns. I know, I know you have always studied like a marathoner…..into the night and staggering into class with all your freshly read data…but WHY beat yourself up so much.
Just this small change can improve your scores….and your GPA.
Try it you’ll like it and the results that you get.
Call me into your college, so I can speak directly to your group to make even more “win-win” changes!

School will go by way toooooo fast. You’ll find out. Why not make it a better experience. Technically you are there to learn…..remember more, and test easier. Now that is awesome.
