College admission tests, job interviews, contests, aptitude tests. Those are some things that makes our hearts beat for probably a million times a second because we're in conflict with ourselves.
Did I pass?
What if I didn't?
I think I failed.
I really hope I passed.
Atleast I did my best.
We're always afraid of the bad news, especially when it's in the matter of finally achieving our dream, thinking that you're THAT close to achieving it but there are still barricades left to get through. I have been there, and I know a lot of us had been in that situation, and maybe some are still in that situation as we speak, and all that's left for us to do is pray and believe in ourselves. We might find ways to distract ourselves from over-thinking because...remember this, OVER-THINKING KILLS. Not literally though, but it makes you just wanna delete all your feelings for a while until the result comes.
Thinking about the bad news is one of the worst feelings that you can ever feel and I know you want to escape that. And I have a method of my own to stop over-thinking.
First of all, we must find a way that will stop us from thinking about the upcoming news, good or bad. Read a book, listen to music, have fun with your friends, do what you love, watch some tv, go out and watch a movie, have fun with the family, do your favourite sport, anything that can keep you from over-thinking.
Second, don't stress yourself. Over-thinking is torture. Have a peace of mind and relax. Think that everything happens for a reason, if things doesn't go your way then it means you deserve better. Sail new oceans and don't play it safe so much. Time to go out and discover new challenges. That's what life is all about.
And lastly, pray. Pray for guidance and the hope that you passed. Pray that good news will come. Praying makes you feel at ease. Believe me, it works.
Good news, bad news, they are all a part of life and bad news means just another door closing. But there are still a lot of doors out there and don't hesitate to not open another one. Accept a new challenge as it arrives. Every new door is a different story but all those doors will lead to your goal. Remember that the only one who is stopping you is yourself.
