If you are feeling disheartened over not achieving something in 2021, gentle reminder to not question your capabilities or think any less of yourself 💛

[Not so Exhausted Anymore, Ph.D. @PhdExhausted]

If you're figuring out your next steps, try making such a list.

👏🌟 You got this 👏🌟

[Not so Exhausted Anymore, Ph.D. @PhdExhausted]

Be you friend 🌟
Not your enemy.

[Not so Exhausted Anymore, Ph.D. @PhdExhausted]

Want to change something about yourself for the better?

Do not talk down to yourself.
Rather lift yourself up.

Continued anger and disappointment towards self will only make the change harder.

Show yourself some empathy and grace ❤️

[Not so Exhausted Anymore, Ph.D. @PhdExhausted]

Even if you feel you've hit rock bottom, do not punish yourself.

Acknowledge that things are bad and realise that any step you talk in the right direction, no matter how small, will only propel you upwards.

Be every bit as proud of yourself for surviving, for making it through, and for carrying on. Life is long. In the end, it's the years that matter not an year 💛

Sometimes, things just take longer and no amount of pushing through can ensure they get done by 31st December. It's okay 💛

Each time I hear a Prof say "So my student did this super cool experiment..." in their talks, I am like ..Yaaaaaaassssss!🔥👏⭐

Love everyone who never forgets to acknowledge the hard work and contributions of those who work in their lab.

Our work is immortal. It has no end.

The people in our lives, our relationships, our pets, plants, friendships are all mortals.

Nurture, value, and cherish the mortals every chance you get❤️

❤️ Supportive colleagues are everything ❤️

May you find support from your peers when in need

May you offer support to your peers when they need

My takeaway from the last 10 years - PhD is a path, not an end onto itself. It doesn't mean you have to choose a career in academia. It is a training that opens up multiple fields, and in India there are many opportunities to use those analytical skills.

If today was not your best day at work, remember:

⭐ It's okay. One person cannot know everything.
⭐We can always learn what we don't know.
⭐Tomorrow is another day.
⭐ Remember the lesson, learn from it and keep moving❤️
