BeChill Exams workshop series is for all IB & IGCSE students that want to increase their capacity to concentrate, be confident, control their emotions and improve their ability to stay calm and optimistic during the study and exam writing period. When the mind is relaxed, the body is relaxed and the brain works at its optimal level. A little adrenaline is good to sharpen the brain on examination day, more than a little can become a major block in memory recall.

My two children are in University and they wrote their IB exams a few years ago and the stories they would come home with about students fainting as they were under so much pressure to attain a 7, or students crying while they waited for the exam room doors to open.
We never really know what mental state our adolescent children might be in during this intense study and exam period. The IB is not easy, the simple thought of a large part of the overall grade riding on performance over a few hours of examination can be overwhelming. The pace of the exams can also prove to be too much.
If you want to be sure that your adolescent child's mental state is calm and confident during this period, enroll them in my workshop series. They will learn several Sophrology, Mindfulness, NLP and Positive Psychology techniques to keep them calm and confident with a motivated attitude.
Exercises are aimed to help your teen build RESILIENCE and;
- have an active mind in a relaxed body
- turn off negative chatter in their brain
- concentrate more easily
- control emotions more easily
- sleep more easily and soundly
- reach their goals to the best of their ability

Words and their Affect on my Body & Emotions plus Moving from Reacting to Responding
Join Annette for this great 1.5 hour workshop for you and your child. Each workshop will have a different theme where you will be able to explore and learn Sophrology, Mindfulness and Positive Psychology techniques for both you and your child. This is an invaluable workshop for both you and your child!
This month`s exercises will look at the use of high energy versus low energy words. You and your child can begin to explore dramatically changing the way you communicate to bring better responses from the body and the mind. We will also learn both dynamic and meditative easy to use exercises to centre ourselves when we feel overly reactive.
We will start with ludique (a game), breathing exercises and then move onto either Sophrology or Mindfulness techniques that can be easily practiced at home.
