For those of you who have just FINISHED A THESIS...

.... MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS!!!..... YOU DID IT!...

Here is a little blog post I wrote when I was musing on my own beautifully finished thesis, one sunny October, not so long ago.

(I added that quotation at the end just now, by the way.)

Happiness in academia

Lovely article which I read this morning:

https://www.timeshighereducation.com/features/how-be-happy-academics-advise-what-brings-joy-work

In a nutshell:

 - Don't compare yourself with others; moderate your expectations; be kind to yourself, and practice self-compassion; don't be too concerned about getting that promotion, or loads of money; and meditation and 'savouring' [the moment] are very helpful.

(You heard it all here first.)

Love,
