Some helpful hints needed

[Ocean 22]

Hello,

 

I am currently changing careers and have been in the process for awhile. I was looking for an opportunity in my new career while I was doing my studies in this new field but nothing has come up for years except this week. I finally got my chance to enter this new career, the catch is that I must finish 1 last exam for my studies to enter the field. This is in my new contact and if I don't complete this last exam within 2 years I will be let go. This new career is very challenging to me and I have attempted this exam 3 times over the course of the last few years. Even though I get closer and closer to the passing mark each time I am still getting discouraged. The agency that governs this exam can soon send me a letter politely saying "please choose another career." I need to pass this exam and have been under a lot of pressure for the last few years to do so, but now even more. I am at the point that I am petrified to even study for fear of failing again, not being able to write again and being fired from a job I have longed to have. Has anyone else been through something like this and if so are there any mental distractions and or hints that helped them get over a fear like this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks for your replies in advance.

You know, we all go though this. You cannot let your fear of failing overwhelm your desire to achieve.

 

Set up a really good schedule, get some confidence coaching and don't look back. Organization is the key - don't apply too much pressure on yourself.
