Does your work ever feel tedious to you? If so, how do you stay driven & motivated towards it?
My love for my work is intrinsically motivating and I enjoy facing every bit of challenges that arise on a day-to-day basis. They sometimes become overwhelming and require a great deal of motivation to have momentum and focus. I sit back during those times to figure out what is getting my way. Creating a list and dividing my tasks into smaller chunks and converting them into quick little things to accomplish, helps me a lot with a good sense of relief and achievement. I also sometimes take a ride to feel relaxed and rejuvenated.
What are your hobbies and specific interests other than your profession?
Music and gardening are my favourites to boost and stimulate my mental health. They are very impactful and strengthen me in keeping myself aligned with my profession in terms of creativity, positivity, nurturing, commitment, focus and absolute mindfulness.
