“Ensure that you have developed positive coping mechanisms. Take intentional time for yourself every day—be it meditation, yoga or a walk outside the office. Be self-aware and recognize if stressors are flaring up and you need to talk to someone! If you do not yet have a trusted office colleague, reach out to the state Lawyer Assistance Program (LAP) for confidential assistance.”
