Maintaining Your Well-Being
As May Well-Being Month draws to a close, we hope you have found the time to experience the different elements and benefits of well-being. Let’s strive to keep the momentum going and make well-being a consistent part of our professional lives.
“We are happiest and healthiest when we adopt healthy work habits and lifestyle choices. Well-being is a team sport.”
– ABA Well-Being Toolkit For Lawyers & Legal Employers
Continue to incorporate mindful practices from Well-Being Month into your everyday routine.
Here are some strategies to help you advocate for yourself and your well-being:
- Set Boundaries: Define your working hours and stick to them. Communicate these boundaries to your colleagues and clients.
- Schedule Breaks: Take regular breaks throughout the day to rest and recharge.
- Stay Active: Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. Whether it’s a yoga session or a quick walk during lunch, staying active is crucial for your physical and mental health.
- Practice Mindfulness: Take a few minutes each day to practice mindfulness or meditation. This can help reduce stress and improve focus.
- Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to always reach out for support if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Whether it’s talking to a colleague, a mentor, or a mental health professional, seeking support is a sign of strength.
Together we can create a healthier legal community.

Think May, Think Wellness
Over the course of the last several years, there has been a greater awareness and appreciation in regard to the wellness of practicing attorneys. So much so that the ABA has designated a week in May as Wellness Week.
Although Lawyers’ Mutual is uploading a “Civility and Wellness” CLE this May, we want to remind you that in May 2023 we uploaded two Wellness CLEs, which have been very well received by our members.
If you didn’t watch them last year, perhaps think about watching those two CLEs from May 2023.
