Let’s start the week by reminding ourselves: All of us just want to feel happy. So let us be kind to each other. Let us be compassionate to who have lived different lives. Let us remember we need each other. #AcademicTwitter #phdvoice credit: sistercody

What you see below is your life. A human life, just divided into weeks. Although it seems like there are an infinite number of weeks ahead of us, it isn’t. It's finite. So what can you do this week to build a life you’re happy with? #AcademicTwitter #PhDvoice #AcademicChatter

Please remember you deserve to make decisions and have boundaries. You are allowed to say no and it’s okay if others get upset. You deserve self care. #AcademicTwitter #phdvoice #AcademicChatter (credit:sistercody on IG)

You are the driver and life will always bring some traffic.Just like when you see a careless driver,you wait and let them go.Sometimes you open your window for fresh air or you put the air conditioning on to get warm. You can speed up if you want or just enjoy the road. #PhDVoice

Doing a PhD is hard and we often feel like we’re lost in unknown but ask yourself this: What if everything turns out for the best? Motivation is the most important thing, keep going and believe in yourself. #AcademicChatter #phdvoice

“I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than trees.” Walking, without a destination to arrive, is such an extraordinary thing. When you need to ease your mind, go for an aimless walk where you unravel 🍂 #PhDvoice #mentalhealth #AcademicChatter

It was an absolute pleasure to attend iThrive Edinburgh conference today. “Forget me Notes” choir put a big smile on our faces and showed us what a difference music makes to our mental health. Please watch their performance below! Thanks The Forget Me Notes Project 🎶

We tend to be hard on ourselves when learning new things. Please give yourself the grace and the space to learn. ✨#AcademicChatter #phdvoice #phdchat

We all feel scared sometimes. Maybe you're creating something, studying, learning new skills. Maybe you’re trying to figure out what you want and waiting. But I want you to know that you can handle this. So let this quote to be your reminder and motivation ✨ PhD Voice - Independently Run

Being courageous doesn’t mean you have no fear but instead going in spite of the fear. So whatever you are a bit afraid of this week, try to find the courage to do it anyway 💜 #phdvoice #AcademicChatter

Small or big, embrace your progress 👣 #phdvoice #AcademicChatter photo credit:The New Happy
