As lawyers, we use our brains to produce value. Clients rely on us to think, analyze, argue, persuade, creatively solve problems, and much more. Literally, we are paid to think. But have you ever considered how to create the conditions for your brain to perform its best, for you to think deeply and clearly, to resist distractions, and be in your best cognitive condition? Since your brain is your tool, so to speak, shouldn’t you do what it takes to sharpen it? The same way musicians tune their instruments and chefs sharpen their knives, we should train our minds. Lawyers also face a wellbeing crisis. Luckily, tools that promote brain health also promote overall physical and mental wellbeing. By maximizing your brain’s potential and your overall wellness, you can optimize both your professional and personal success.
To that end, this program will discuss:
• How to deal with distraction addiction.
• How to cultivate the ability to deeply focus and deal with the challenges of the 24/7 digital age. How stress affects both brain and body.
• Why we need exercise for mental, physical, and brain health.
• Why adequate sleep is important for optimal brain performance and how we can improve our sleep.
• How what we eat affects our brains and physical performance.
