Academia is an ultramarathon that we try to run as a sprint. This approach tends to leave us with little time or energy and few resources to cope with challenges. But a healthier approach to research is possible and is essential if you want to build a sustainable career in academia (or anywhere else in this fast-paced,
competitive world).

During this workshop, we explore:

• The self-critical inner voices that sabotage your motivation and enjoyment for your work;
• How your mindset can help or hinder your day-to-day life and your future career prospects;
• How certain maladaptive coping strategies (e.g. procrastination and avoidance) maintain these selfsabotaging thought and behaviour cycles.
• How to reshape your thinking and behaviour patterns to work for you in pursuit of your goals.
