Some relaxation techniques

Some of you said that you get really nervous at exams. I decided to do some research to try to look for some relaxation techniques. I found some advice that can be useful for you. 

Differential relaxation


  1. Sit up straight in your chair.
  2. Place both feet on the floor, making sure they are flat.
  3. Grasp the bottom sides of your chair with your hands.
  4. At the same time, use your hands to pull up on the chair and push your feet firmly down onto the floor.
  5. Hold this position while counting slowly to five (approximately five seconds).
  6. Release the tension in your hands and feet and let your body relax while counting slowly to five.
  7. Repeat the process several times before the test begins.

Deep breathing

  1. Inhale, taking a deep breath that fills your diaphragm as you push it down and outward. By moving your diaphragm your lungs can fully inflate.
  2. Hold your breath as you slowly count to three.
  3. Slowly release the air as you exhale.
  4. Focus on the feeling of your diaphragm moving back inward.
  5. Repeat the cycle five times.
  6. Repeat if needed.
