💡 Effectively banish burnout for the rest of 2023 and beyond with this guided meditation – access the link below!
It's the end of the year, and what should be a time to slow down and enjoy the little things is turning into last-minute requests and crunch time for larger projects, making stress and burnout feel insurmountable. What's worse, in-house counsel has struggled with burnout all year. Fact: 61% of in-house counsel describe themselves as "extremely stressed and burned out."
It's likely your team is experiencing higher levels of dissatisfaction and burnout as well. But how can your team meet stakeholders' expectations while still maintaining their mental health?
A recent webinar sponsored by Axiom explored how meditation and mindfulness can benefit lawyers at work and home. It featured a live, guided meditation, taught attendees how to meditate and unwind, and provided advice to help them become more mindful—and more relaxed—in their daily routine.
This unique event was hosted by Cheri Stefanelli, a holistic wellness and health practitioner and community health educator at Be Well. It aimed to empower legal professionals with four burnout-cooling benefits:
- Stress relief: How to let go of the burdens of a demanding profession and find solace in the moment.
- Mental clarity: Enhance your focus and concentration by cultivating a peaceful state of mind.
- Emotional resilience: Techniques to maintain a cool, calm, and collected mindset when under pressure.
- Work-life harmony: Ways to create a healthier balance between your personal and professional lives.
Watching this webinar is a must for legal pros who want to balance their demanding roles with their mental well-being. With each guided exercise, you'll better connect with your mind and body and learn how to disable the stressors that are fueling your burnout—and your colleague's burnout. Share this webinar with your teammates to help foster a more positive outlook across the team!
