Managing Exam Stress
7 Ways to Manage Exam Stress
When you are dragged down into the murky depths of exam season, it can be difficult to keep track of the 'little' things: like food, sleep, exercise, when you feel under pressure to devour four books a day for sustenance, fall asleep while listening to foreign language podcasts in the hope that it'll all sink in by the time the oral exam comes around, and the only exercise you can make time for is lugging a rucksack full of textbooks up and down the library stairs.
We've all been there before, and the thing is, unless you are in your finals (good luck!), you will likely be there again. When the fog clears and you reintroduce yourself to normality, you might look back and wish you had put yourself, your health, your sanity, first a little more. So, here's some advice from BACP therapist Dawn Hastings to keep you afloat the next time the pressure's on.

The Encounter - Complicite
The Encounter - Complicite
Tonight at 7.30 on youtube -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghc-DM1TVWU
there will be a live streaming of The Encounter
http://www.complicite.org/productions/TheEncounter
which I am told is amazing!
Inspired by the book Amazon Beaming by Petru Popescu.
In 1969 Loren McIntyre, a National Geographic photographer, found himself lost among the people of the remote Javari Valley in Brazil. It was an encounter that was to change his life, bringing the limits of human consciousness into startling focus.
Simon McBurney traces McIntyre's journey into the depths of the Amazon rainforest, incorporating innovative technology into his solo performance to build a shifting world of sound.
Visit our resource website for more information on the making of The Encounter.
