Transcript

Take a moment to pause,

Close your eyes if it feels comfortable and connect with your breath.

Preparing for the MCAT can feel like an enormous challenge,

But mindfulness helps ground you in the present moment,

Allowing your mind to focus and your body to recharge.

Let's take three slow,

Deep breaths together.

Inhale deeply through your nose,

Hold it,

And exhale slowly.

Again,

Inhale and exhale,

Releasing any tension.

One last time,

Inhale and exhale,

Settling into a place of calm.

Now repeat after me.

I am committed to my growth and success one step at a time.

My preparation is meaningful and will serve me well on test day.

I approach my studies with focus,

Clarity,

And determination.

My mind is capable of absorbing and understanding even the most complex material.

I trust in my ability to recall what I have learned when I need it.

I am resilient,

Adaptable,

And fully capable of overcoming any challenge.

I release the need for perfection and embrace progress instead.

Each practice question strengthens my confidence and sharpens my skills.

I am calm,

Steady,

And prepared for this journey.

My hard work will open the doors to my dreams and aspirations.

Take another deep breath in,

Feel the air filling your lungs,

Nourishing your mind and body.

Hold it for a moment,

Then exhale,

Letting go of any stress or self-doubt.

Picture yourself on test day,

Calm,

Focused,

And ready.

See yourself reading each question with clarity,

Answering with confidence,

And walking out knowing you did your best.

You've dedicated yourself to this journey,

And you are capable of success.

Take one more deep breath,

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes and return to your studies.
