The practice of law is a high stress profession that often creeps into life outside of working hours. When workdays get busy, it can become difficult to set aside time for yourself. But taking time at the end of the workday to unwind and be creative has proven to improve your mental health, which in turn is good for professional performance. Legal Innovators offers three activities to try. First, journaling in the evening can help you process the day and get down any worries before bed, so you are less anxious and have a more restful sleep. To start, try writing three things that you were grateful for today, and three things you would like to accomplish tomorrow. Second, listening to a guided meditation podcast is a great way to start practicing mindfulness. And third, try a new hobby that lets you be creative such as drawing, knitting or working on a home improvement project.
