I am about to go for my road test in a few days and I am very nervous about it. How do you deal with anxiety? Help!
Answer:
Pamela J:
RELAX! That's the key. Don't worry about whether you fail or pass your road test. Remember everything that you've learned and review it.
It is very normal to feel anxious on the day of your road test, perhaps even days before the test. But, don't let your anxiety control you. It will only make things a lot worse for you. Don't be too anxious when you drive because that can be very difficult.
Good luck on your test!
Try positive self talk, deep breathing, and mostly just try to relax. Do something to take your mind off of it for a while. Dwelling on something thats going to happen will make it seem worse than it really is.
Usually I would try to think of something else or play some music that keeps my mind from thinking about the thing that caused the butterflies.
I have found that meditating and deep breathing (done right) really helps. Sit or lie in a position that is comfortable to you. Clear your mind of everything except your breathing. Relax and take a deep breath, make sure you are pushing your abdominal muscles out and tighten them when you exhale(each breath should take about15-20seconds). Do this for about 5-10 minutes and do it about an hour prior to your road test. During the road test if you get nervous try doing the breathing technique. It really does help. Good luck on your road test!!
Dear Pamela, just step back from the upcoming test, take some deep breaths and PRAY for peace, contentment, and HIS help and guidance, and HE will answer, settling your nerves allowing you to do your best. Remember, all things are under HIS control and ALL things work together for GOOD for those who TRUST the LORD. God bless you on your test!
take deep breathes, don't pass out, and RELAX!
