I am preparing for jeemain july. While I am preparing I am sorry to say I am getting getting headache. After starting a topic I will read for 2hrs min continuously after I am getting habituated to pass the time. Please give me some tips to not to waste that time even. Can I score 150+ in this way.

Siri, we all have been there sometime in our lives. We have discussed prior as to how to score good in July session. This time, let's talk about helping you become mentally strong and prepared for what is ahead of you. There is something called Acceptance and Commitment Theory in the field of Psychology. It is an intervention method that uses acceptance and meaningfulness in different ways. It is not a method of eliminating any particular behaviour. Rather it is acceptance of one's own inhibiting behaviour and mould our lives accordingly. This means you accept that you are no longer as curious you were before. But you mould your habits and lifestyle or working towards your dream in a way that you still work in fulfilling your passion. Maybe you should sit and write the reason you are no longer curious or passionate about something. If it was something like a bad experience or bad feedback that you had or heard, you should write it down and then evaluate the truth in it. You should maybe check the facts and see if what you felt or heard still holds true. And then you write down your current thoughts on your passion. It might be the lockdown talking or it might be because you found something else interesting. If it is just the lockdown talk, be assured that you will feel fresh once this situation passes. But if it has been there with you for a while, then accept the fact that your priorities have changed. Choose the correct course of action and decide on it. If you still want to stick on to your passion, maybe you need to rejuvenate yourself and get back on track. So do not shy away from thoughts that take away your curiosity. Face them and write them down. It might be laziness, it might be the discovery of a new passion, it might be lockdown, anything. Just write it down. Allow those thoughts in your mind and rationalise when you can and fight with them when you have to. Discover what is more important. Your flee of emotions or your passion. Set goals to act responsibly keeping in mind the long term. You cannot come back after a year and try to be passionate again. By then you would have lost the rhythm. Always remember that this is just a mind game and you need to reason with your brain and train your brain and not the other way round.Now if the headaches are stress related, you need to really calm down because worrying never helped anyone in the past on the way to success. You need to remember that brain is a beautiful organ whose limits can be tested. But again you cannot take advantage of it in a wrong way by stressing yourself out. So take periodic breaks amid your preparation. If you are studying for 90.mimutes at a stretch take atleast 10-15 minutes break before you start again. Coaching centres can be stressful and hence it is common to feel stressed out. But trust me the exam will be much easier. You need to rest yourself before you take up on continous coaching and preparation.
