It has been a rather strange month. At times, it felt like everything was in my favour while at other times, it felt like an absolute chaos. But happy to say, I am mostly starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. But there are times when I have been hung up on how things used to be and I am trying my best to get past this phase. I’m just taking it one day at a time and waiting on a number of different things to unfold in my life. Despite the uncertainty, everything feels like a miracle after having a recent disruptive change in my life. It almost reminds me of Albert Einstein’s famous quote, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is.” I have always believed in miracles and I think they’re great because it gives you hope to go on under any circumstances.
In terms of my PhD, I spent this month preparing for my oral presentation, creating my posters for my next conference, finalising work on a student project, writing up a survey paper and planning the last chapter of my PhD. I attended the DAA conference which was held in Sydney (blog coming up soon). The conference was so insightful and probably was my favourite DAA conference out of the three I have been to. It’s only early days but I’ve been super pumped after the conference. I feel like I have now discovered a purpose and now I somehow just need to connect the dots between my core values and my love for dietetics. I haven’t figured it out all yet but definitely feeling more optimistic about everything.
In other news, I finally managed to finish my London blog after almost 3 months. It honestly feels like a huge accomplishment because I haven’t been able to blog at all and it felt like everything had come to a roadblock. I am spending more time in the social media space and working on planning some new content.
