Amazing Product

I loved my PhD Balance magnets. They help me to process the mood of my days. A great gift for yourself or your academic friends.

Great magnets!

These magnets are awesome! They are just like your standard "word poetry" magnets, but they are all themed for research and PhD Balance. I especially like that they give you a dry-erase write-in magnet for when you just need a specific word.

Piecing together my emotions with magnets

I look forward to piecing together a new phrase each night after dinner - I speed through washing the dishes just so I can find the right magnets to express the way I'm feeling in the current moment. Using these PhD Balance-inspired magnets to express my frustrations about Reviewer #2, fears about not meeting my boss' expectations, or my love for therapy and chocolate allows me to explore my feelings in a safe, creative way.

The little distraction I sometimes need

These magnets are fun to play with, and it seems I'm really adept at making completely nonsensical sentences. But, more than this, something about creating little "poems" using words related to mental health and grad school gives me space to step back and think about some of the challenges we face without judgement of myself.
