its important to balance our activities and schedules with both labor/focus intensive and as well as enjoyable activities. too much inclination to one specific nature of activities will hamper our well being and productivity. s one of the effective solutions you can implement is to make a balanced time table whether is adequate focus on academics as well as enjoyable and recreational activities like socialization, sporting activities, physical exercises, meditation, hobbies/interests etc. the growth of intellect is caused not only by rigorous academic efforts but also by adequate physical exercises and enjoyable activities and therefore its important to accommodate both in our daily schedules and routines.
secondly an extreme fear of failure and disappointments can lead to anxiety and general fear/discomfort. which can be manifested in forms of disturbed sleep/dreams, difficulty in concentration, irritability, excessive thinking/preoccupation with future etc. in these issues its important to practice mediation and regulate our physiological responses so that our vital functions such as sleep is normalized at the same time we control our bodily reactions and responsiveness ( sweating, heightened heartbeat) etc. at the same time its important to perceive your thoughts in a more logical and reasonable framework so that we can counter the negative and detrimental ones and learn (develop self discovery/insight) from rational thoughts and prepare ourselves adequately for future depending on our strengths and positive attributes.
Next Steps
develop a balanced time table, practice mediation, enhance self discovery, build on positives and strengths.
