Fear Is Good in Nursing School
Test anxiety, social determinants, and other obstacles stand in our way every day. Throughout many of these blog posts there tends to be a theme of self-inflicted obstacles, and through today's Health & Wellness course there was more great advice given to tie to that theme.
Today we discuss success tips, positives learned from the class, things that needed to change, and self-reflection. I mentioned my rising testing anxiety and my Professor gave amazing advice. Fear is good, and doing things scared is something that creates success. Going back to a previous blog post, "magic happens in the extremes" is something that supports her words of wisdom.
She always has a quote on the board, and today's is something that was referenced...
"What you speak will manifest. What you think will consume you. What you do will change the world!" -Dr. Sylette DeBois
If I continue saying that I have horrible testing anxiety, it will consume me creating more issues for me while I'm testing. If I consider it a healthy stress, fear, or anxiety, it can just be something in the back of my mind. Stress can be healthy, but its management is what determines its effects on you and your psyche.
