Good morning, Mahwah, and happy Monday! On this segment of “Mindful Monday,” we are going to be talking about altering your mindset in regards to stress.What is your mood when you are faced with hardship? Some people may look upon their multiple essays and note-taking assignments and decide that being worried and stressed is a permanent fixture in their life. Sadly, this mindset will keep your emotions bottled up, which is never a good thing. Instead of seeing hardship as a permanent struggle, try to perceive hardship as temporary. It’s important to remember that nothing lasts forever and that in a short amount of time, some of these hardships will fade away. For example, AP tests start today. A very stressful time indeed, but will the stress still be present once it’s all over? Absolutely not.
By thinking this way, any negative emotions you feel will disappear over time.Just follow the words of writer and poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox: “Whatever comes, this too shall pass away.”
Thank you, Mahwah and good luck to those who are taking AP Exams. Remember to relax and breathe: you've made it this far in the year, and are well prepared to excel!
