A key thing with a positive PhD mindset is to invest in yourself. Remember, that this is your life and your career. You design what you would like it to look like. Here are some things to make your PhD mindset more positive:
1. Practice gratitude during your PhD. Give hugs! You'll be surprised on how being thankful how to frame your decisions going forward.
2. If there are things that are negative in your life, change it! You are not stuck and you can make positive changes.
3. Reserve time for yourself. Having time for exercise and family / friends will help you keep positive. However, when you work you work, but when you don’t, you don’t.
4. Stay in tune with a good motivational coach, podcast, or thought-leader.
5. Don’t be hard on yourself when you are feeling down during your doctorate, I know that this is a life journey towards self-improvement. Every time that you get a rejection, someone is taking the time to invest in you and developing you.
6. People might tell you that you can’t do this, or that you are wrong. Grow some inner strength to stand up to them. The more that you get up and do the work, the more that you just don’t care what they say.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.
Peer proofreading and editing platform
A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.
The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
