Self-Care for Lawyers: The Benefits of Building One Self-Care Habit at a Time
By Rick Waite
The big changes started about 10 years ago, when I started surfing every day at 6 a.m. instead of getting on the freeway to go to work. Soon I started journaling every day, a practice I started at Harvard my freshman year and engaged in sporadically over the years, usually during times of crisis. Next, I began meditating again. I had learned how to meditate at the Cambridge Transcendental Meditation Center my freshman year and then promptly stopped. A few days after renewing my meditation practice, I quit drinking. Cold turkey. No cravings. No 12-step program. I just stopped.
