About this listen

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:

✅ How you’re programming your day-to-day experience with your thoughts alone

✅ The relationship between your thoughts and what you feel

✅ Why overwhelm is a pattern you can break

✅ How to reprogram your mind for more calm and focus

Listen in and start reclaiming control over your experience of your law practice and your life one thought at a time.
