Graduate school is similar to working full-time, with many ups and downs that affect your mood. Celebrate yourself whenever you complete a task or take a risk during the week. Writing a gratitude letter to yourself, or doing whatever brings you joy can allow you to feel purpose. Journal about something you recently accomplished in your graduate OT program. How did you react to it? Did it assist you in meeting your personal program objectives? Don't forget to celebrate both big and small victories.
