"I use Qi breaks to allow my mind to let go and just be for those few minutes"

Quick summary

Makwena discovered how to transform stressful, unproductive study sessions into focused learning by replacing anxiety with Qi breaks, turning exam preparation from exhausting to energizing.

I joined this program in the middle of my exams. I had an issue of stressing myself to exhaustion while I feel like I had covered a lot of work during my study sessions this was not the case. This would be worsened by not knowing how to effectively use my 10 to 15-minute breaks using the Pomodoro technique. It was interesting to be able to use the energy I used to spend stressing on nearly completely focused study sessions. I use Qi breaks to allow my mind to let go and just be for those few minutes
