Mastering the Bar Exam with Mind Power: Your Guide to Success

Hey esquires! Have you ever heard of the law of attraction? It might sound a bit fancy, especially for us law buffs, but bear with me. I'm Jennifer Duclair, and I'm excited to share how using this "mind power" can boost your law school journey, help you pass the bar exam, and set you up for a stellar attorney career. In this blog, we'll zoom in on weaving manifestation magic into your bar prep – making sure you stay calm and focused.

Unveiling the Secret: Feeling Good Is Key

Okay, so manifestation involves big terms like the Law of Attraction, but there's a simple trick most miss. It's not just about daydreaming success; it's about how you feel when you hit the books. Imagine a positive outcome, but also pay attention to feeling good during your study sessions.

The Game-Changer: Your Thoughts Matter

Sure, everyone talks about feeling good during meditation. But what really counts is feeling awesome while you study. It's not about a quick 30-minute mood boost; it's about feeling great for most of your day. 

“How do I feel good most of the day, you ask, especially while prepping for the monster called the bar exam?”   

I get you.  But the answer is simple. Thoughts routinely affect emotions.  Bar exam takers in our Bar Prep Connect program learn to craft short catchy mantras that have a positive emotional impact for them.  Relying on these mantras throughout the day keeps negative thoughts at bay.  If you go off into a negative rabbit hole, break the circuit by repeating your mantra over and over.  I know it sounds tough, but just like tackling law school, it takes small steps and persistence.

Your Study Sessions: Watch Your Words

Bar exam prep can be a rollercoaster. You might mess up a question or struggle to remember stuff. It happens! The key is how you talk to yourself. If you're always picturing bad outcomes, you might accidentally meditate on failure. Switch up your self-talk – be kind and open to solutions. Your mindset can make or break your success.

Unveiling a Secret: Excess Potential

Here's a fancy term – excess potential. Too much focus on passing the bar can mess with your balance. Instead, broaden your view. Imagine the cool life of a successful lawyer. This not only eases the bar pressure but assumes you've already aced it. To shake off excess potential, take intentional actions toward your goal.

Action Time: Intent is Your Power Move

Forget just setting goals – declare your intent to pass the bar. Literally, say “I intend to pass the bar”.  

But intent needs action. Studying is the obvious move, but fear can freeze you up. Start small – try a study meditation. It shifts your mindset from fear to hope, setting you up for a more productive study time.

Raise Your Score by Decreasing Anxiety

Study procrastination is really your freeze response because of bar exam fear.  Freezing on the exam is a disaster you’d not wish on your worst frenemy.  But what about all the other anxious responses like misreading a question, second-guessing your answers, or taking too long to comprehend?  These and more bar exam tankers are dealt with expeditiously in our Bar Exam Peace, Workshop to Decrease Anxiety and Raise your Score.  The tools and strategies you need for a peaceful bar prep and bar exam are available to you on demand.  Start incorporating this right away for the best results. 

Wrapping Up: Make Your Success Happen
