Mariam Berishavili: The Best Version of Myself

I am my parents and brother. I’m looking out the window and I see dark sky with no stars, just moon. And I'm looking down on my desk and I see, like George, another book. Wait, why is my book wet? I touch my face and my hands become way too. What's the problem? Standing up, going to the mirror, asking human. Defining the word tense. Yeah. Actually, it was my collection of meter. It dark circles, puffy. I speak nose, messy hair, bad posture. How did I come to this? Let's just discuss. I'm a successful 10th grader. Sophomore finally gets highest grades in the class. Maybe I'm flexing like O-M-G. I'm so cool, I'm so smart, I'm so talented and I'm so gifted from God. You see my strands of gray hair? Yeah, I guess that's the present which I was gifted to from my learning sketches. Actually, I'm not anything like this. Sadly, a lot of people who want to succeed in the lives go through the stress related to luck. I don't want to talk a lot, so you guys can go first. I'll talk briefly about how I defeated stress and became the best version of myself. So let’s start with something simple. Thanks Feelings of stress are common when I'm learning from struggling to get my head around a certain concept or theory, which I have, typically physics, which I don't really need for my future profession too. Worrying about three upcoming exams, three practice tests which will be on the same day, or deadlines for projects which I have done throughout three months but I did them in one night. Yeah, how I've said this is in all aspects of life when it comes to learning. General anxiety and stress is just normal for me during periods of intense study. According to a 2016 research carried out by Stockholm University. Stress can directly affect our ability to correct short term memories, meaning it is more difficult to obtain information and keep it close up. I was sick. I was really sick and tired of my daily routine. I was coming from school at like 4 p.m. , then scrolling through social media at like 9 p.m. . Then I would start to do my homework. Then for sure, I couldn't do it fully, so I would go to sleep at like 2 a.m. , then wake up next morning at 7 a.m. to finish this homework. Young How you guess in this five years of living, I saw a lot of nightmares related to school learning. I couldn't take it anymore, so I tried to find a solution for this problem and maybe change something in my daily routine. And actually I found the key. how to manage stress begins with some principles. For example, being organized, I can't lose stress management technique for me to get organized and stay organized. For example, keep my desk needs, create folders on my computer, set reminders for reported dates. Yeah. Once I get organized, I found my stress levels go down immediately. Second is getting enough sleep. So how to manage stress begins with how I set begins with something simple enough sleep. A good night's sleep is critical for keeping my stress levels manageable. I remember when I was in ninth grade, I was taking extra curricular activities analysis every day. And yeah, I didn't really sleep well during that grade and it cost me a lot. But now I have some a good schedule and I work much better than one year ago. Third is eating well. Another simple stress management tip that I used was eating well. I know while it's tempting to treat myself to high fat, sugary comfort foods, this food actually decrease my energy and my academic performance as well. So I tried to change my diet and restrict a little bit. Yeah, I tried to eat healthier food, for example, fruits, vegetables, protein. And yeah, I lost some extra kilograms and my skin got somewhat clear. Fourth. And the last one is, don't worry. I have a friend who's successful student like me. And before lessons started, I was always asking her if she was anxious or worried about the difficult paragraph. There were a history teacher gave us and the response was shocking. She always said that no, and therefore she never got a bad grade. And I realized that you should be confident in your studies, and then everything will be much easier. And also and every year and everything will be much easier. So in conclusion, I want to say to people who struggle, I look like me. Nothing is impossible. When my mom was telling me I was disorganized and lazy, I didn't believe her. I said that she couldn't understand me, but she was right. The stress comes from organize and your body is in hell of tiredness, stress and confusion. So I think that if you change something in your older routine, then your body and your GPA will think you.
