This is my FINAL journal about self talk! It is also written during the FINALs’ week. Then I will write you some tips (self talk positively) to help you fight against all final exams confidently. This blog’s idea is also coming from a journal “Positive self talk can help you win the race–or the day” from Psychology Today.
First, speaking about inner voice, what are you thinking about right now while you are reviewing for your exams? There are two possible answers: “Yes, I can do it.” or “No, I can’t make it.” Which do you think is a positive inner voice? Yes, the first one. And guess what, which inner voice you have will help you win (crash) the races (exams)? Yes, the positive one. Why?
Inner voice, we also can say it “psychological suggestion” which is a magic. It always consists lots of inspirational and motivational words and phrases such as “Yes”, “Good”, “Can”. And in psychology, psychologists assume that people are more willing to respond to positive thinking. Before your first final exam, taking a deep breathe and speak to yourself “Good luck, you will make it!” Why is the first final exam important? Because you will be psychologically nervous whenever your first happens. This is psychology which no one can explain clearly.
Then the most excited part, I will gift my loved audiences some really motivational suggestions that will solid your final grades. First of all, listening to yourself. At any quiet moment, listening to your own voices and following your heart. Studying materials as much as you like and don’t be so panic. Panic is the worst status during the FINALs’ week. Next is being honest and polite to self talk. Ignoring any bias making you think that self talk isn’t helpful. Because of psychological suggestion, these bias won’t let you self talk normally (sometimes it led you to negative self talk). Lastly, picking up powerful and your favorite words and phrases which make you confident. I once browsed Ted Talk website and watched a Talk about how body languages shape who you are. In that Talk, Amy talked about any actions you’ve taken will result in something. Like body languages, inner voices will also mean something. Before doing anything, talking to yourself with some positive words. You will deserve a good result!
Good luck on all your Final Exams!
*I really recommend all audiences to watch this video. I was encouraged by both body languages and inner voices! It’s really helpful.
