Postgrad Life + Work From Home!

[astudystrugglestreet]

26.04.2023 || It’s been many years since I’ve posted here, but recent thesis deadlines are demanding a level of romanticise-academia-to-hustle-some-results-in that I haven’t needed in a long time. So here’s to some long study days and a conscious effort to avoid burnout (if those two things are capable of coexisting).

Reminder to Self:

If you’ve been in a toxic family situation, you might have internalized negative beliefs about yourself. When you start to heal and things go well, it can feel like you don’t deserve it, leading to self-sabotaging... You’ve lived in survival mode for so long that thriving feels uncomfortable. This dissonance between your old self and the healed version of yourself can cause internal conflict, leading to self-sabotage. Even if the toxic environment was painful, it was familiar. Your brain might associate chaos or negativity with safety, so when things start to improve, you unconsciously revert to old patterns. Healing and growth can be scary because it leads to new experiences and responsibilities. You might sabotage your progress to avoid the discomfort of venturing into the unknown or being vulnerable in a new phase of life.

🌧 my study and daily reflections☕

☕ When I reconnected with my friend from my old uni last year, I was still in postgraduate school and feeling overwhelmed by my dissertation. I hadn't been writing consistently, and my motivation had dwindled. My friend, who happens to be a PhD researcher, shared some valuable advice with me. She suggested incorporating writing into my daily routine, starting right after waking up. Just like brushing your teeth is an instinctive action, she encouraged me to make writing a dissertation a natural part of that routine. Although it might be challenging initially, she assured me that it would gradually become easier. And she was right. I successfully passed my dissertation with a merit. So, I decided to apply this approach to my current study schedule as well.

☕ Random motivational quotes have personally been helpful to me, even if they may seem cliché. They truly made a difference in keeping me motivated. I make notes with these quotes and place them on my desk, so I'm reminded to stay focused on my progress every time I sit down to work.

☕ Studying helps me with depression. In a way, studying is kind of an escape for me, keeping me distracted from depression, but in a good way. I've noticed that I feel less and less depressed when I'm studying.

☕ Tidying up my desk before I go to bed and always ensuring that the kitchen looks tidy, including keeping the sink empty and washing dishes. Makes me feel motivated to prepare delicious food and make a cup of coffee before diving into my study time. It's exactly what I've been doing.
