How I did it
How to finish my PhD
It took me
4 years
It made me
relieved

How I did it: My PhD was in Art History. No labs for me! Just hours and hours in the library. I was also doing mine long distance, so had no academic contacts excepting my supervisor. It was tough, I'll admit. I didn't work 9 to 5, although most days I managed to do something. I cultivated outside interests, and even got a Saturday job. In the process I realized that despite the outcome of the PhD, there was more than one way to be happy. Even now, I m… Read how I did it…

How to finish phd
It took me
4 years
It made me
content and relieved

How I did it: I spent four years completing a PhD in History of Art.(Viva still to come). I found that it took a lot of perseverance, and a lot of effort trying to figure out what was PhD standard. No one really tells you. I advise reading others PhDs, which I should have done but didn't. Some people work 9 to 5. I couldn't do that. I worked most days, but not always productively. My first year was a wash! I barely passed the upgrade. I nearly quit, bu… Read how I did it…

detox
mini-detox 1 month ago

I want to kickstart healthy habits. Less sugar and cheese! More meditation and yoga! On Monday I am starting a three day detox/yoga retreat at home, courtesy of yoga journal and vegetarian times. (both websites might still have the articles in their archives. Saves buying a book with an agenda).

Basically, it’s three days of eating veggies, whole grains, drinking lemon water, yoga, meditation and journalling, plus epsom salts baths, saunas, etc. You get the idea.

I am fighting candida and arthritis (only 29!) and am in a major transition right now, having just finished my PhD and waiting for my viva. No idea what the future holds, but I do know that happiness requires ACTION and having done a sugar detox before and been inspired, I know detoxes can bring about major changes. I’ll let you know how it goes!
