Objectives

Academia is an ultramarathon that we try to run as a sprint. We quickly run out of time and energy and can experience waning motivation, burnout, and a sense of failure. Although the environment certainly plays a role, we as individuals can address the way we approach academia to buffer us against stress and burnout, worry and fear, and the toxic competition we are often surrounded by. A healthier approach to research is possible!

Content
  • We address the self-sabotaging thought processes that underlie perfectionism, imposter syndrome or worry and learn to reframe them.
  • We identify maladaptive coping strategies (e.g. avoidance and procrastination) and explore more effective (and healthier) strategies.
  • We discuss the need to fill your bucket and why balance in our lives is essential to creativity, insight, motivation, and our ability to deal constructively with feedback and rejection.
