The Posts Of Christmas Past

Daily Post

When a pun title like this pops into your mind, you have to use it!

In writing this blog for so long, I’ve published a lot of seasonal posts at this time of year. Here are some of my favourites:

I also have to mention A Visit From St. Nate which is one of my most favourite pieces of writing on the blog! I had a lot of fun writing that, reading it aloud and making sure that the words fit the rhythm of the poem that it was inspired by.

I’ve written a few more seasonal posts this month. I hope you’ve found them useful too.

Sounds Of The Season

Daily Post

It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas. Everywhere I go I hear seasonal music. Cheesy 80s number ones, crooners from a former era, carols.

Of course there are other signs too that Christmas is weeks away! – but the sound is the thing that sticks with me. There’s a series of associations building up the feeling and the energy.

 

I wonder if something similar could help for the viva? Actually, it’s more than a wonder, I’m sure it could!

I’ve heard from plenty of candidates and graduates over the years who have a viva prep or positivity playlist that helps to boost them. Songs that help someone to just feel better. Music that helps someone to concentrate. Sound that helps people to feel more confident that things will work out well.

What sounds – music, songs, tracks, whatever you call them – could help you as you prepare for your viva? And could they help steer your confidence positively?
