Did you know overwhelm is optional?
If you feel a wave of overwhelm before your week even begins, you may be surprised to hear that work itself isn’t what’s causing it.
Don’t worry — if you’ve believed work causes your stress, you’re not alone. I used to think that too.
Most lawyers assume their overwhelm is caused by the files, the emails, the clients, and the court dates.
But let’s try something:
Imagine a file sitting on your co-worker’s desk.
Does that file stress you out?
Does it make you feel overwhelmed?
No.
Why not?
Because the file isn’t the problem — it’s what you think about that file that creates your stress.
Overwhelm doesn’t come from the work. It comes from how you're thinking about the work.
In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer, I’m showing you how your thoughts program your emotional experience — and how to begin choosing thoughts that create calm, clarity, and focus instead.
What You’ll Learn:
