5. Set Realistic Expectations
When you're not feeling your best, it’s important to adjust your expectations. Don’t force yourself to perform at the same level as you would on a good day. Instead, set realistic, achievable goals based on your current emotional state. If you typically study for three hours straight, maybe reduce that to shorter sessions with breaks. Acknowledge that it’s okay to slow down and that any progress you make is valuable, even if it’s less than usual.
