It can affect anyone \u2013 whether in school, university, or the workplace. A certain level of nervousness before exams is natural, completely normal, and even helpful. However, it&#8217;s important to distinguish between this healthy nervousness and true test anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While nervousness motivates us, test anxiety <\/span><b>blocks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> our thinking. Instead of helping us focus, it causes us to freeze. The fear becomes so intense that it not only makes recalling information difficult, but also triggers physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, or trembling. When this anxiety takes over, it can severely impact both our daily life and our ability to perform.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

Relaxation techniques<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relaxation techniques are a powerful tool for working with all kinds of anxieties and feelings of restlessness if you practise regularly. A proven technique is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/what-is-jacobson-relaxation-technique\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">progressive muscle relaxation by Jacobson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Lay down comfortably, every time you breathe in squeeze a single muscle, when you breathe out release the muscle. Repeat with every muscle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mindfulness training can also help with overcoming anxieties. Therefore, we have an article with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/en\/blog\/mindfulness-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best mindfulness exercises that you can integrate into your daily life<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Concentrate on the feeling of your hands on your head. This will distract you and the warmth of your palms will calm you down and give you energy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>Shen-Men point<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is right above your auricle.
