The CBA's Health and Well Being Committee is proud to present a 4-part series aimed at coping skills for the current COVID-19 environment and onward.   Mindfulness training for our current crisis will give us skills to use when life returns to “normal.”

  

Daily life is full of stressful situations and COVID-19 has amped up the pressure to get things done while the world shifts around us. It’s overwhelming trying to figure out how to work from home, manage family responsibilities, and worry about what lies ahead. Lawyers need to be at our best for our clients and those who depend on us.

 

Mindfulness Can Help

 

Mindfulness is a simple mental practice that introduces a calmer, more satisfying mode of being and can enhance a host of competencies related to lawyer effectiveness and well-being, including:

 

·         increased focus and concentration

·         improved cognitive skills, such as working memory

·         greater emotional resilience

·         enhanced interpersonal skills

·         reduced burnout, stress and anxiety

·         more ethical and rational decision-making
