August is National Wellness Month

August is National Wellness Month! This is a great excuse to hit pause( just for a minute) and think about how you’ re doing outside the office. Wellness doesn’ t have to mean a complete lifestyle overhaul; sometimes it’ s as simple as taking a walk, packing a better lunch, or making time for family and friends.
Law practice can be all-consuming, but a little self-care can go a long way toward keeping your energy up and your mind sharp. Whether it’ s scheduling coffee with a friend, trying that yoga class you’ ve been eyeing, or just making sure you get outside during daylight hours, small steps really do add up. Use this month as an excuse to put yourself on the calendar, too. A happier, healthier you is good for your practice, your clients, and( most importantly) you!
