We human being are surrounded by a multitude of fears. Some of us pluck up the courage to deal with them. But there is one fear greater than all the rest - . test anxiety. Everybody recognizes this fear under one of these headings : test anxiety, exam anxiety or exam phobia. Test anxiety has a variety of causes which differ from person to person but invariably result in frustration, despair, lack of confidence and lack of success. After 28 years of life, half of which I devoted to studying, first at school and then at college, I found the solution. The solution arrived when I reached a turning point after I brought all my problems to Pnina. Pnina changed my life.I ceased to be a permanent failure at passing exams and everything connected to studying. I stopped experiencing the great tension which caused profuse sweting, an accelerated pulse , the palpitations in my heart, my stomach churning from anxiety and my head blocked as if I hadn't learnt a thing. I discovered the secret of success when I took all my problems (which seemed to be at a complete dead-end) to Pnina, with her infinite capacity to give, warm attitude, wonderful personality and lots of tools for change.Pnina altered the course of my life. Pnina of Lotus Guidance for Change, was my guide to finding the right way to handle my fear of exams which had made me fail time and time again and left me with a sack of frustrations despite my intensive cramming for at least a whole week, before each exam. That's our situation as students and .its well-known This situation can only be changed by taming the goblins ,opening the energy blockages and raising self-confidence. AfterI finishing this process, I sat down for my exams and tried in vain to find the fear .I wondered where the symptoms were that had accompanied the anxiety for so many years. I felt calm and relaxed. I realized that the fear was gone for good. I read the questions, breathed deeply and noticed that my fear had disappeared, without a trace, as if it had never existed. I sat up straight to answer the questions from the knowledge I had acquired in my studies, calm and relaxed until I had answered all the questions in the exam. For the first time in my life I had experienced an exam without fear or anxiety.I had been calm and focussed so the resulting successes didn't take long to materialize. My happiness new no bounds.
