Mental health Mondays: Experiencing mental health difficulties can be a very isolating and lonely experience, reminding yourself that everyone you meet carries their own battles can help you feel less alone. Try not to compare as not everything is visible from the outside!

Mental health Mondays: The benefits of yoga for body and mind are evident, it's important to set aside time to stretch out your mind by opening up in a safe space to a trusted person or professional! Reminder to stretch both today!😌

Mental health Monday: Sometimes the greatest gift you can give someone is a non-judgemental listening ear. Seeking help for a mental health condition takes bravery and courage and when it is met with an empathetic response it can be really powerful. #MindYourMind

Delighted to receive this in the post today! Completing the Grad dip cert in Teaching, Learning and Scholarship was a really worthwhile learning experience for me. CPD can be a difficult thing to juggle whilst doing a PhD, but I luckily had a lot of support around me😀
