30-Second Stress-Busters
This session answers the question: “What if I’m really struggling, and I’ve got only 30 seconds to do something about it?” We explore a series of techniques that are uncomplicated, quick enough to do in 30 seconds, and remarkably effective at dealing with stress and anxiety. A legal professional’s day moves fast; sometimes, we don’t have more than 30 seconds between our last meeting and our next one. If we want to preserve our own well-being and effectiveness, we need tools that take that reality into account.

Managing difficult experiences like stress and anxiety is only part of the well-being equation.

We then explore evidence-backed methods for activating that mood-boosting effect in 30 seconds or less, as well as a handful of methods that go deeper.
