A gratitude practice for your writing: A mindfulness practice for rewriting

Welcome to a series of eight episodes that focus on writing well and being well for writing. This is the seventh.

You will need to write an Acknowledgements section in your thesis, and you can have fun working out who you will thank and how you’ll include acknowledgements in your thesis. But you might also want to make a less formal, less constrained, more honest version. 

Here, for example, is my gratitude list. 

This practice comes from Chapter 7, ‘Rewriting’  in Writing Well and Being Well for your PhD and Beyond.

Come listen to a lot of lovely things that make me grateful, and think about what you are grateful for.
