Balancing Studies And Dealing With Exam (& Life!) Stress

Imi's Insight Podcast

In this episode I dove into balancing life and my journey so far learning to find balance with everything from studies/ schooling, training commitments, work and social time. Particularly getting into the much asked questions; How do you balance studying and training? How to deal with exam stress? I spoke through my own journey of finding balance through high school, graduating school and throughout uni so far including managing success in studies as well as maintaining a high training load and competing in high level sport and then struggling with anxiety and guilt around taking time off and not always being ‘productive’ or studying like crazy. I also talked about learning to deal with exam stress and how I have worked on my own stress and mindset! Over time I’ve improved and learnt different ways to cope especially with adult life and working. Since recording this, the past 4 months have been intense, adding working crazy hours into the mix and this is something I have had to just find a way to balance and cope with too (and I’m still working on!!) so an update is needed soon but I am definitely keen to get recording again and getting back onto the topic of balance again. Balance in life is essential and something I am definitely not good at whatsoever but the more I work on it and practice it, the more I can appreciate its value.
