We hear this saying all the time, this too shall pass. However, as much as we've heard it, these words can easily evade us when we need them the most. After a long journey of schooling, grinding, sacrificing, and jumping over so many hurdles, we can feel extremely weary by the time we start studying for our licensing exams. Burnout can take us to a very dark place within our minds.

When was the last time you allowed yourself to have fun while studying for the exam? If you can't remember, that's a problem! Since becoming an exam coach, I have noticed how much high achievers can sometimes struggle to make space for leisure while working toward a goal.

Palm trees are some of the most unique “trees” that exist….The supernatural strength of a palm tree comes from its strong fibrous body that is capable of bending and stretching to great lengths……It is said that palm trees actually become stronger after each storm making them even more resilient for the next storm……You may be wondering. How does all of this apply to studying for a licensing exam such as the EPPP?

Recently I was listening to one of my favorite online business coaches (Rebecca Lynn Pope), who was discussing the importance of patience. She said one of the most important things you need to learn when trying to achieve something is that “fast is slow and slow is fast.” When she first said it, it took a moment for me to compute what she meant. Once she began to explain the concept, it all made perfect sense.
