The LSAT is in exactly one week. Although in the past three months I have felt sometimes smart, sometimes not, sometimes confident, sometimes not, sometimes prepared sometimes not what has been pervasive in the last several weeks has been anger directed at myself and my inability to attain perfection. I do want to be perfect and Id be lying if I say Im ready to let that go. However, what I am ready to let go is the idea that the LSAT is stressing me out. The test has done nothing to me. It has only provided a disguised incarnation of a type of yoga. I can see in the reflection of this intellectual challenge HOW I treat myself. I have not been patient and kind. I have been self-hating and completely unforgiving. So while yes this is a test in that it is a standardized task I must complete in order to move on, it is also a test of my habits and behaviors under pressure. I will (we all do and will) face many pressures in life, and my method of dealing has not gone well. Not this past month not ever! Tonight I practice kindness toward myself.
