Dear dpvtank,
I thought you would appreciate it if I related an experience I had back in highschool. At the time, Physics wasn't my exactly favorite subject. I don't know what caused me to get worked up about the tests, but I did. I didn't wish the subject to get the best of me. Back then, my teacher taught me something very valuable that I still benefit from in my life today. He encouraged me to remind myself of the 3 Cs. They mean; "Cool, Calm & Collected." This was an attitude I developed that overflowed into other areas of my life. I learned the benefits of deep breathing and other mental relaxation techniques which also prepared me to excel in skating competitions. I hope you think about the 3 Cs. May they help you as much or more than they did me.
