In episode #128, Dr. Deborah Carpenter shares a technique she created during her doctoral process that helped her eat the elephant one bite at a time.
This reflective exercise would be useful to ANYONE with the desire to accomplish a goal, because when you have a strong mind, strong body, and strong heart - you can do anything!
Ask yourself: What am I intentionally doing to strengthen my...
1. Mind?
2. Body?
3. Heart?
Other Highlights:
- Give yourself permission to invest in your self-care (newsflash: This is not procrastination will actually make you MORE productive) - see link below
- Worry less about whether or not you will "like" your chair and more about how you will present as a student they are excited to mentor
- Don't under estimate the power of gratitude
- Be honest with yourself about how you deal with feedback (there is going to be A LOT of it!) - see link below.
