How To Get Better Grades: 14 Tips To Take You To Study Success

By Lachlan Haynes


Feeling burnt out? Feeling tired? Feeling stressed? Feeling like no matter how hard you try you just can't get the grades you want? Well it's time to turn that frown upside down and change all your problems into awesome possibilities!

Below is a list of 14 tips that will turn your study stress into study success in 5 minutes or less!

1. Create goals for yourself. Write down your goals and include everything you want to achieve this year and all the years that follow. Then look at your goals every day so that you know them off by heart. If you don't know what you want you will never be motivated to take action!

2. Move all obstacles that are stopping you achieve your goals. Don't allow time-wasters to suck the life out of you. Get off the X-Box. Get off Facebook. Turn off the TV. You can do this. Know what you want and then get it!

3. Define the actions required and then figure out which ones come first. What will have the most impact right now? What will create the biggest difference straight away? Figure out which actions are the lifeblood of your goals and do them first.

4. Give your actions a priority. Now that you know what you need to do to get what you want it's time to give those actions a priority. Which actions need to happen straight away? Which ones can you hold off on for a week or a month? Whatever you do, make sure you are taking action. The difference between success and failure is more times than not simply take some action. So do something!

5. Visualize your achievements. The best part about visualization is that you can do it any time. You can do it during class, you can do it on the train, you can do it lying in bed, or you can do it at your weekend job. Imagine what you are going to achieve and how it will happen. Do this every day.

6. Create some affirmations and constantly read them. Make sure you have your affirmations written down so that you can look at them at any time. Never forget what you stand for and what you want.

7. Stretch and breathe. Don't just breathe to live, breathe to relax! Deep breaths are great for keeping your cool and getting the energy flowing. Stretching is great for getting the blood flowing and getting your muscles active. So breathe deeply whenever you think of it and stretch like a madman whenever you have a chance!

8. Watch videos and read books and blogs. Find someone who can make your life better, easier and more enjoyable and then listen to them! Learn the strategies. Apply the strategies. Make your life better, easier and more enjoyable. You don't have to invent things yourself. It really is that simple.

9. Love every minute. There is no point "existing". You need to "live". What does it mean to live? It means loving what you're doing - at all times. Now, it's hard to get excited about school or work each day, there is no question about that, but your life is short and you need to enjoy it. You need to make each day count. Love your life.

10. Surround yourself with winners. People who win for a living live a very different life to those that are happy with just going with the flow. If you want to make something of yourself you need to be surrounded by people who also want that - or already have it. Look around. Who are you spending your time with?

11. Become a water drinker. Our brains are 75% water. You can only survive a few days without water before you will die. Waters rids our bodies of disease. Water converts food to energy. Water protects you from sickness. 90% of your blood is water. Water is truly a potent weapon! So start drinking lots of it - every day! It's not that hard.

12. Eat smaller means and eat them more often. We all like to eat don't we? Well, most people do anyway. You only have to look around to see how much the world loves eating. But three meals a day isn't quite right. Instead, have 6 meals a day and make them smaller - and healthier. Your body will continually burn the food and won't store it as fat. You're also less likely to become overweight or obese. More meals and less fat? Winning!

13. Reduce your consumption of the four fatal stimulants. Coffee, cigarettes, alcohol and sugar are a perfect storm - for illness and disease! If you want to die a young and painful death then knock yourself out. Most people don't really want that - but it doesn't mean they don't consume dangerous things. You wouldn't give cigarettes, coffee, alcohol or loads of sugar to your pet, so why do you consume them? Do you have more respect for your pet than yourself? Weird.

14. Tense and relax. When you tense all the muscles in your body and then let it go it really helps the body to unwind and remain calm. So start using this whenever you're feeling anxious or stressed. Tense and relax. Tense and relax. Ah! Feels good doesn't it?

The reality is that you - and you alone - have the ability to determine your future. You can decide to do nothing and change nothing and get the same results you've always gotten. Or you can change a few little things up and make a big difference to your results. Learn the strategies and take massive action every day. Nothing else is required. Good luck!
