    Dear priya Bhardwaj:

    Clearly, you don’t want to study for the exam. You experience the studying is very unpleasant, so you don’t want to do it.

    The most basic instinct we share with all animals is withdrawing from pain. You experience studying for this tough exam as painful, so you withdraw- your brain literally withdraw from it by distracting from it.

    Can you share more about your discomfort studying for this exam, any thoughts you are aware going through your brain as you think about studying and as you start to study?

    * Will be back to the computer in 7 hours or so.

    Hello Anita

    Thank you for your quick reply.

    Its not any specific thought.  It’s thinking about everything.  Sometime some thoughts which makes me anxious and I dwell on this for hours and sometimes pleasant day dreaming . It’s a sort of procrastination.  The moment the read few lines I get extremely  gratified and take a break which is obviously longer than I intended

    Most of people I met in life , tells me I’m extremely intelligent but it gives me some sort of identity crisis because my intelligence doesn’t have a proof of any result.  So may be I’m just dumb with this smart facade .

    It’s not like that I don’t want to achieve my aim for what I’m studying.  Impact that is the only thing I want to do in life . And once I get in I think I will be able to do the justice to job. I have many plans to be in a influential position and help people.

    But I just don’t seem to break the barrier and work hard day and night to achieve my aim .

    Dear priya Bhardwaj:

    Maybe you overwhelm yourself, expecting too much from yourself at this point: “I have many plans to be in a influential position and help people”-

    maybe if you make your plans smaller, to begin with, and instead of having “may plans” – have only one plan, for now.

    An attitude of One-step-at-a-time may help you take the first step, then the second, and later, the third.

    You may be anxious about proving to yourself/ others that you are as intelligent as you, or they think that you are (“my intelligence doesn’t have a proof of any result”)- could this be the case?
