Day three of Well-Being Week in Law focuses on career and intellectual well-being with the goals of finding personal satisfaction, professional growth and financial stability. Lawyers are encouraged to engage in creative or intellectually challenging activities that foster ongoing development. First, the institute recommends reading “Nine Steps to Achieving Flow in Your Work.” Flow is a psychological state of complete absorption in engaging activities that are optimally challenging. Research shows it is key to well-being and growth and can buffer us against the negative psychological effects of the pandemic. Second, watch the “Fostering Flow is a Key to Growth & Happiness” video with psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi. Finally, download the Flow Activity Guide to find creative activities that align with who you are, are absorbing and challenging, and enable you to disconnect from stressful thoughts, as well as the Job Crafting Activity Guide to find a better fit between strengths, values, preferences and work. Access these and other resources here.
