You know when you experience test taking anxiety!
I want you to know one thing, you don’t have to sweat taking tests or certification exams any more.
It’s natural to feel some nerves or butterflies in your stomach about test taking. It’s a very natural way that our brain is preparing us to take action.
So what if you were to think to yourself, “I’m excited about taking this test!” as opposed to “I feel nervous, something must be wrong!!”
Hypnosis for test taking anxiety
Hypnosis is effective for a number of reasons.
First, it can help you relax when you need to most. For example, during the exam hypnosis can help stay calm an focused, which will help you do better on exams than you have previously.
Secondly, hypnosis can help you change self defeating thoughts and limiting beliefs to one which are, quite simply, better able to assist you when it comes to performance during tests. Rather than believing that “I’m just not good at taking test” you can install new beliefs to support your academic goals.
And the truth is, there’s no magic wand! Just the magic of you stopping the self defeating thoughts and stating a more true thought.
The truth is… we all want to feel better
If “excited” about taking the test doesn’t ring your bell then how about…
- I am taking this test because I want to advance my career
- taking this test helps me reach the next educational level or goal
- the journey of taking this test is taking me personally to higher ground
- I am so proud of myself for working through this in a strategic way
- every day is a test of some sort, I have a strong test taking muscle
And maybe your issue is feeling distracted when studying, or you find it challenging to focus during study time. Well, that’s fairly normal too.
Hypnosis for test taking teaches you how to make a deal with your brain to take a real break after the allotted study time. Hypnosis also enables you to be more focused and present.
By the way, that’s one of the “side effects” of hypnosis — staying focused and present in the moment, when you need to stay relaxed and focused. I want you to know one more thing as well, that new-found-feeling of being focused and present in the moment will help you with more than just taking exams. It’s something that is helpful when it comes to everyday living.
I think being focused and present is a great side effect to have from hypnosis.
Don’t you agree?
Hypnosis helps you to study
You have to put the information into your memory bank to retrieve it.
Your subconscious will automatically store it because all things are heard by the subconscious. In other words, you have to do your part; show up for class, participate, do your home work, practice the relaxation techniques we did in the sessions, fall asleep listening to your reinforcement recordings that I have given you in your first session.
Subconscious learning is something that is very natural.
Yes, there are good things that naturally happen that we don’t have to change our thoughts on!
Subconscious learning shows up like this — even though you probably learned how to ride a bicycle when you were very young, as an adult you can just hop on a bike and take off. Same thing with driving a car. You don’t have to think about where to place your hands, or your feet or your eyes for that matter!
Hypnosis for test taking anxiety helps you to be prepared.
That also helps to eliminate one of those self defeating thoughts of “I’m not prepared because I didn’t manage my distracting thoughts and distracting behaviors!” Instead, every day in every way you are thinking much more clearly and concentrating much more easily.
Paying attention in a pleasantly pleasing way and feeling so very confident in the process. Oh yeah!!!
You have earned the right to be calm and relaxed!
Last but not least, by the time test taking day comes along you will have mastered skills of self-hypnosis that support you in reducing physical and emotional tension prior to test taking.
Once again, there’s another side effect of hypnosis! Your skills of self-hypnosis cover you like a blanket – they don’t apply only to test taking. Sweet!
You don’t have to go it alone…
