The Bar Exam Mind Bar Exam Journal: Guided Writing Exercises to Help You Pass the Bar Exam: Pass the Bar Exam, #4

By Matt Racine

KEEPING A JOURNAL WILL HELP YOU PASS THE BAR EXAM.

When facing a stressful and potentially anxiety-provoking situation like bar exam preparation, honest self-reflection can illuminate the causes of the stress and anxiety and help alleviate them.

If all you do is study, study, study, without spending time to assess the progress of your studies and how all the studying makes you think and feel about yourself and your future, you will not understand what is happening in your mind. Keeping a bar exam journal can help you gain this understanding.

The Bar Exam Mind Bar Exam Journal contains a detailed discussion of why journaling is so helpful and effective while you prepare for the bar exam.

Then, the book provides you with a series of journaling exercises for you to complete while you are preparing for the bar exam. These exercises will help you work through any stress or anxiety you are having about the bar exam and enable you to clear your mind to focus on bar exam prep, rather than worries about your bar exam results.

INTRODUCTION

I have long been an advocate of journaling during the bar exam (as well as journaling generally). I have written blog posts about it at BarExamMind.com and have included a chapter on journaling in my book, Bar Exam Mind: A Strategy Guide for an Anxiety-Free Bar Exam.

I wrote this book, dedicated exclusively to journaling, in order to offer you something more robust. Because I believe that journaling is a truly powerful but overlooked aspect of staying calm and focused, it merits a stand-alone book.

Journaling has numerous benefits, including self-insight, catharsis, building a positive state of mind, and giving you a place to be totally open and honest with yourself. I have kept ongoing journals since high school. I find the act of writing in a journal very helpful when I am
