Breathe in and out while sitting or lying on a mat, paying attention to the speed at which the air enters and exits your nostrils. It lowers anxiety and promotes excellent focus.
Simply place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. Feel the air enter your body as you inhale and exhale. This will help you reduce your heart rate and encourage relaxation.
Sit in a quiet room and choose a mantra that motivates you. Now, repeat the mantra over and over again, paying close attention to the words. This will help you focus.
To reduce physical anxiety, lie down and close your eyes. Focusing on different parts of your body, starting from your toe and then moving upwards to your forehead; release every tension as you move along.
To stay concentrated, focus on just one point of any object; it can be the flame of a candle or a pen nib or the tip of a needle. Focus only on that part of the object.
By practicing these meditation techniques regularly, you can develop greater control over your anxiety and improve your ability to focus during exams.
