Try to locate your study space in an area that suits you. If you need dead silence, find a tucked away corner, an attic, a basement, a spare bedroom, whatever you can find. If you prefer some sound, locate it near (but not within) an area of more activity. If the location can't always be your dedicated study space, let others know when it is being used as such. Go ahead and make a "Do Not Disturb," "Quiet, please," or "Hey, knock it off -- I'm studying here!" sign to post, depending on your personality. Adorning your study space with posters, signs, and photos that are important to you may help give you that boost to keep going. Just make sure they don't become distractions rather than motivators. Figure out what kind of motivation works for you. A picture of your family or a beloved pet? A poster of the car you hope to get after you pass these exams and graduate? Copies of your earlier exams in chemistry with poor scores that you are determined to improve upon? Determine whether you need more of a "push" or a "pull" (or a carrot or stick, if you prefer) to keep you motivated. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/3e\/Make-a-Study-Space-Step-13Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Make-a-Study-Space-Step-13Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/3e\/Make-a-Study-Space-Step-13Bullet1.jpg\/aid145274-v4-728px-Make-a-Study-Space-Step-13Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

Bring along a few motivating mementos for your study time that can be easily packed up when you're finished. If you can add color to your study space, keep in mind that cool colors like blue, purple, and green tend to inspire feelings of peace and balance, while warmer colors like red, yellow, and orange tend to inspire activity and even restlessness. So, if you tend to get overly anxious for upcoming exams, consider going with a cool color palate for your decor; if you need a kick in the pants while trying to study, go warmer. Don't shortchange your other senses, though. Some scents, like lemon, lavender, jasmine, rosemary, cinnamon, and peppermint, seem to boost mood and productivity in some people. Try out different scented candles and essential oils. While white noise, rain sounds, or classical music are generally the best choices for background sound during a study session, if you can't bring yourself to choose such options, select music that is very familiar to you. Create a soundtrack with songs you've heard a million times before; these are more likely to fade into the background than a new hit that you just begs you to sing along. Remember that the purpose of a study space is to help you study more effectively. If you spend too long trying to set up your space just so and end up significantly reducing your actual study time, you will be doing yourself a disservice. A study space meant to limit distractions can become a distraction itself. Remember: You're better off studying in a less-than-ideal space than not studying in a perfect space.

Summary: Make it yours. Decorate to motivate. Appeal to your senses. Don't go overboard.

Sometimes it may feel easier to ignore your feelings and push them away. All this really does is build them up until they become totally overwhelming. To deal with internalized homophobia, you need to be willing to tap into these feelings and address them head on. Make a conscious choice to identify and eliminate your internalized homophobia. Although it may be difficult, remind yourself why you are doing this. For example, your goal might be to overcome the negative feelings regarding your sexual orientation and to feel happier as a result. Keep in mind that internalized homophobia can also cause relationship problems due to the distress it causes. People with internalized homophobia may suffer from shame and anxiety. They may also have a poor outlook of other gay people, including their partners. You can determine if you have internalized homophobia by asking yourself some simple questions. If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then you may have internalized homophobia. Some questions to ask yourself include: Have you ever wished you were not attracted to those of the same sex? Have you ever tried to make those feelings go away? Have you ever felt that your sexual attraction to the same sex is a personal shortcoming? Have you tried to make yourself attracted to those of the opposite sex? Do you avoid interacting with lesbians, gay men, or bisexual people? Do your feelings of attraction to the same sex make you feel alienated from yourself? Consider the ways in which homophobia has shaped your attitudes, behaviors, education, and life choices. Perhaps your internalized homophobia has stopped you from making friends with other LGBT folks or stopped you from attaining some of your life goals. For example, perhaps you have avoided mingling with other gay people because of your own rejection of your feelings. Or, perhaps your belief that gay people can't play sports prevented you from pursuing your passion for soccer in high school. Internalized homophobia can even influence how you function in a romantic relationship. Those with internalized homophobia have been shown to have more conflict in their same-sex relationships. This can even lead to domestic violence between same-sex partners. In order to fight your internalized homophobia you can try one of the things you have always wanted to do but haven't done yet. If you always wanted to play soccer, join a league. Even better, you may be able to find a gay soccer team to play on!
Summary: Be willing to work on your problems. Ask yourself questions. Consider the impact of internalized homophobia.
