Aspirants can balance their emotional well-being during UPSC preparation by incorporating regular self-care practices. Setting realistic goals helps manage expectations and reduces anxiety. Engaging in physical activities, hobbies, and relaxation techniques can promote mental clarity and resilience. Social support from family, friends, or fellow aspirants provides emotional reinforcement and helps alleviate feelings of isolation. Moreover, taking breaks to disconnect from studies can refresh the mind and prevent burnout. This holistic approach to well-being ensures that candidates remain focused and motivated throughout their preparation journey.
