how to avoid education burnout

have 3 achievable goals a day: having a laundry list of things to do everyday is super unrealistic, and you just end up feeling bad about yourself because you didn’t accomplish your goals for the day.

leave your sundays open: i love sundays because they’re my day to chill out and catch up on school work that i wasn’t able to finish during the week.

recognize when you’re at your emotional limits: forcing yourself to get work done when you are unable to comprehend your study material does not benefit anyone.

learn how to say no: people will ask you for your time and it will stretch you to the limit, whether it be at your job, in your extracurriculars, or in your personal life. know when to step back and say no.

take care of yourself physically: take breaks, go for walks, shower regularly, get enough sleep, eat healthy, see your friends

celebrate your accomplishments: go out to eat with friends after a big exam, indulge in a night off after a busy week with some netflix and wine

make a study plan beforehand: it can be daunting to see how much work you need to put in to a class or task beforehand, but this allows you to spread your work evenly so you don’t become overwhelmed.

learn how to ask for help: it is very rare that people make it through school, whether it be high school or university or any graduate program, without needing the advice of others or just a kind soul to vent to. find that person.

never forget your hobbies: you will need things that keep you sane. if you love to play music, write, play volleyball, or cook, make you sure you don’t lose these things. they will become your escape when times get tough.

log off from time to time: it is exhausting to be constantly connected to social media and your email. just physically disconnecting from these for a night to take care of yourself can really help you clear your mind.

Although Reid makes it personal, there’s still an important message here that shows Dr. Reid knows what’s up re: schizophrenia and violence

[giraffepoliceforce]

Fun fact: schizophrenics are literally less likely to commit an act of violence than someone who doesn’t experience mental illness.

We are however significantly more likely to be victims of abuse, addiction, poverty, and suicide.

Schizophrenics don’t need the media constantly telling people we’re a time bomb. We need help and patience. And hugs. And maybe some ice cream.

Reblogging because the ‘fun fact’ is both true and important for everyone to know.

Neuroscience Book Recommendations

Last year I wrote two blog posts on book recommendations, the first was about girl power books, which you can read HERE and the second one was for psychology book recommendations, HERE. Since I have received requests to share some recommendations for Neuroscience books, I decided to compile a separate list. I’m including books written by scientists, as well as neurologists covering different topics within Neuroscience. I think this list will be useful for those of you who are interested in the field of Neuroscience but aren’t sure which books would be suitable to start with! 

NON-FICTION:

Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain by Oliver Sacks

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales by Oliver Sacks

Migraine by Oliver Sacks

The River of Consciousness by Oliver Sacks

The Man With a Shattered World: The History of a Brain Wound by Alexander Luria

The Brain That Changes Itself: Plasticity by Norman Doidge

The Hidden Brain by Shankar Vedantam 

He also hosts The Hidden Brain podcast, which I highly recommend to check out!

The Brain: The Story of You by David Eagleman

Also check out his BBC mini-series, HERE’s the link to the playlist!

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman (decision making)

The Human Brain Coloring Book by Diamond, Scheibel and Elson (direct shopping link)

FICTION:

Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan (memoir)

Still Alice by Lisa Genova 

Both of these books have movie adaptations!

Not all of these were a 5 star read for me; however, I’m still including them on the list (because the ratings are based on my opinions, which could be different from yours). I have linked Goodreads pages for book descriptions! I’m not including personal reviews because I would like this to be a reference list, rather than a book review blog post, but if you would like to discuss a particular book with me you can send me a private message (I always respond!).

I also have a GoodReads account, which you can follow to know what I’m currently reading HERE. 

If you would like to read more from me, click HERE to see other blog posts! You can also follow my studygram HERE for some inspiration!

“I have been waiting for you since my soul has remembered your name. The city is so crowded and my mind is so loud. But every time I hear your name everything goes silent. And I start smiling like my heart is covered with flowers and my cup of coffee never gets cold because I always drink it too slow.”

Researcher. Then someday, psychologist.

[underthegoldenshowertree]

The weight of consciousness and conscience and conscientiousness itself, the weight of duty, obligation, responsibility, can press on us sometimes with unbearable force, so that we long for a release from its crushing inhibitions, from sanity and sobriety. We long for a holiday from our frontal lobes…All of us need to take little holidays from our frontal lobes—the tragedy is when, through grave illness or injury, there is no return from the holiday, as with Phineas Gage, or with Greg.

The case of the last hippie, from the Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks

[clinicalpsychologistinthemaking]

Quiet by Susan Cain

One of my difficulties as an introvert psychometrician working at an occupational therapy unit is the group dynamics work.

But as Cain has beautifully said, if it's for the sake of my service of love to people with mental illness, then i'll gladly get my pseudo-extroversion on.
