OTs help you to help yourself. It's not their job to 'train' you. They teach you how you can own your own body, how to listen to it, how to learn from it, how to work it so that it can work.

Gentle reminder... How much does a compliment cost? How much does it cost to smile at a random stranger? How much does it cost to give someone a hug? How much does it cost to cost to offer words of encouragement? A little kindness always goes a long way. #edutwitter

Didn't expect to see an Occupational Therapy Student on Gladiators but loving the fact it's shining light to our awesome profession!! 🙌 Go John!!! #shineonOT #Gladiators

SO EXCITED but equally SUPER NERVOUS that I've just arranged my first dissertation interview! #itshappening #sexualityinpractice #researchinOT

Stood watching Luna eat her tea aka 'nomnoms' and praising her everytime she eats as she's been off her food the last couple of days and I've been trying to hand feed her so she has anything to eat. I feel like a proud OT/dog mum 🤣🙌 you did it little pooch!! #myfurbaby

Set up for my first research interview! #sexualityinOT feeling positive and excited to get this research going! 🙌

No matter the mistakes you have made or the decisions you wish you hadn’t…there is always hope. Even when your brain tells you there isn’t. We are a hundred different versions of ourselves in our lifetime, and we cannot begin to imagine what the future might hold.

Focusing my dissertation on this important area of our practice! It's totally OK to talk about this subject! 🙌

Day 2 of this...come on this isn't helping the tiny bit of motivation I've got 😫 #sagepubisdown #journals #OTstudent #frustrated #deflatedalready

Having preciously trained to be an RMN I am proud of my work history and its been an honour working alongside some INCREDIBLE nurses, you deserve more than a day for the amazing work you do 🫶 #MHNursesDay #proudtoworkwithRMNs #nursesrock #RMNtoOT

I am very much trying to channel this right now, perfection is not my goal nor realistic and good enough is more than okay for me 🙏 Brene Brown is inspirational for me and speaks such wise words! #goodenough #brenebrown #iamgoodenoughasme

Does anyone else with a #cockerspaniel find it increasingly hard to concentrate when their big doe eyes are burning into the side of your head and their wagging tail is going 10 to the dozen? 🫣 I adore my little shadow but she's rather distracting this morning!

It's so beautiful seeing drops of dew on the grass and enjoying it with my favourite fluff ball ❤️ #preinterviewnerves #nature #OTinterview

Oh my brain 😭 dissertation coding is making my head spin and my eyes hurt, taking a break and hoping when I come back to it, it won't be so bad! 🥴 #dissertationdilema #brainfog #4monthstogo #finalpush

Really trying to channel this today amidst my dissertation chaos, 4 months to go and I know I'll get there but by god this is a real challenge 🥴🙃 #occupationaltherapystudent #almostthere #dissertationstress

I really don't have time for pancreatitis 😩 the pain has been like nothing I've known before and knocked me for six but my mind won't rest reminding me of all the things I still have to do 🙃🥴 #nightmareweek #ouch #mybodyistired
