A New Start

Daily Post

Every day can be a new start, not just January 1st.

There might be barriers in our way. We could face a physical obstacle or mental block that halts the change we want.

In time, with help or support, barriers can be overcome.

We get to say I want to do this differently even if something resists that change.

 

It’s 2026 now and if you’re reading this post it’s likely that your viva is some date in the future. So what new start do you need? What change of approach? What difference do you need to make for yourself?

And what’s in the way? Who can help you? What could you try?

Don’t make a resolution. Make a change.

I wish you the very best for this coming year. Make it a good one, yeah?

This Time Next Year

Daily Post

The act of planning helps us to think: when change does come along there might be new work to do or challenges to overcome but we’ll be better placed for the planning.

If you’re working towards submission then plan for getting there. What milestones are along the way? How will you measure your success? And how will you remind yourself of your progress and what that means?

If your viva is in the near future then plan to be ready. What are the key tasks you have to do? How are you recording your progress? And how can you build up your confidence for the viva?

For both, what can you do to help when things change?

This time next year you might have submitted and had your viva – but what else will be different? What can you do today to help you be ready for the future that’s on the way?
