First of all thank you so much for your wishes on Teachers' Day on various fora.
On this day, I want to remind you of something that most of you tend to overlook in this competitive exam journey i.e. taking care of yourself, both physically and mentally.
Almost every year, I see students dealing with lifestyle diseases such as hypertension, thyroid disorders, and diabetes, and even more commonly, anxiety.
I am confident that you will clear the exam if you maintain balance in every aspect of your life. I know studies are your priority, but it is equally important to devote at least one hour a day to taking care of yourself.
Have you ever thought about what you would do after getting into RBI if your body and mind are not supporting you?
Should the money you earn only go into savings and investments, or should some of it end up going toward health bills instead?
If you haven't thought about this yet, think deeply, and you will find your answer.
It is difficult to reverse the damage once it is already done. So make a strong note of this: Prevention is better than cure.
We have all made this mistake at some point in our lives, and we are sharing this with you because we realised its importance only later. I know that right now, in the middle of your exam preparation, you may not fully appreciate the importance of staying fit but you will realise it eventually when the time is lost. I hope it shouldn't be the case
When you see improvement in your body and mind, your focus will improve automatically, and that will reflect in your exam results too.
I have plenty of examples to share with you. I still remember some students who are now RBI Grade B officers and who continued following their passion throughout their exam journey. Here are a few of them:
1. U - passionate about badminton and table tennis
2. V - Lawn tennis
3. V - Football and Gym
4. R - Running
5. S - Cycling
They pursued these activities alongside a full-time job or full-time preparation.
We will always have your back when it comes to preparing for RBI Grade B, right from Phase 1 to the Interview Guidance Program, so you don't need to worry about that side of things.
What you do need to worry about is this: during the process, there may be no one around to keep reminding you how to stay motivated and focused.
You can build that motivation through exercise and sport or choose any activity you love, with just one condition that it should make you sweat.
Eventually sweat brings calmness
I wish to see the the better version of yourself, not with competing others, but competing with oneself every single day.
Thanks,
MockMentor
