Attachment 4: Chart of My Anxiety-Reducing Techniques

Date Relaxation and Meditation

Techniques

Result

Nov. 17 7:45 Before math quiz I used

the diaphragmatic breathing

technique for 7 minutes.

(math quiz at 8:00 a.m.)

I feel that I had rhythm to

perform better. It allowed me

to open my feelings and calm

down.

Nov. 18 9:30 a.m. I meditated with

soft, slow music to relax from

my studies and work for 15

minutes.

I feel it eased my tension for

my math quiz. I was able to

calm down and felt less

uptight and nervous.

Nov. 19 7:45 a.m. I relaxed with soft

slow music for 15 minutes.

(EDPT exam at 9 a.m.)

I relaxed and felt prepared

for my test. It reduced my

stress and nervousness.

Beforehand I was afraid that I

might forget the information I

had learned. It made me less

uptight and more energized

to take the test.

Nov. 20 8:45 a.m. I meditated to soft

music.

(math exam)

It reduced the anxiety I had

because of the overwhelming

work I did in the past 2

weeks. I feel that it relaxed

me for my math test.
