So when you hear the word meditation,

for many of y'all, it might evoke some type of

new age thing that has nothing to do

with standardize tests.

And if you're about to take a standardize test,

I'm sure there's many thoughts about

am I prepared, am I going to do well,

I hope I don't bomb the exam.

That stress and that anxiety

is, if anything, going to hurt your performance

on these things that you wanna do well.

And so, meditation is a way to help still that.

But it's really just for you to observe your thoughts,

not get stressed out about it if your thoughts start

to wander, but then just bring them back

and try to not think.

Or think about just very positive thoughts.

I think if you do that you're gonna find you're gonna be

happier, you're gonna be more positive,

all sorts of positive energy is going to be attracted

to you, and, even though that's not the most important

thing in the world, you'll do just fine on these tests

that right now you might be worrying about.
