Let’s
be
real,
most
lawyers
are
grinding
themselves
into
the
ground.
Stress,
exhaustion,
and
burnout
aren’t
badges
of
honor.
They’re
warning
signs.
And
if
you
don’t
listen
to
them
now,
your
body
will
make
sure
you
do
later.
“It’s
so
critical
that
lawyers
start
to
quiet
their
mind
and
regulate
their
nervous
systems,
because
if
you
don’t,
you’re
gonna
hit
a
wall
at
some
point
in
your
practice,
and
you’re
not
gonna
like
it,”
says
Adam
Ouellette,
a
former
law
firm
owner
and
creator
of
the
Stress
Less
course
for
lawyers.
“Most
people
won’t
change
until
they
have
to.”
In
this
episode
of
“Be
That
Lawyer,”
I
sit
down
with
Adam
to
explore
the
toll
that
unmanaged
stress
takes
on
lawyers,
and
how
to
reclaim
your
health
before
it’s
too
late.
We
talk
about
breathwork,
tech,
and
smarter
ways
to
run
your
practice.
Stress
Isn’t
Just
Mental,
It’s
Physical
Chronic
stress
rewires
your
nervous
system.
Migraines,
insomnia,
and
burnout
aren’t
just
unfortunate,
they’re
the
body
begging
for
change. Here,
Adam
explains
why
you
should
be
proactive
in
addressing
stress.
Breathe
Like
It
Matters
Simple
tools
like
the
“micropause”
method
can
instantly
shift
your
system
from
fight-or-flight
to
calm
and
focused.
Here,
Adam
gives
a
quick
overview.
Push
Too
Hard,
Pay
the
Price
Here,
Adam
shares
how
he
had
ignored
the
signs
of
stress
—
tight
chest,
migraines,
that
deep-down
tension
you
think
you
can
power
through
—
and
the
ultimate
result
on
the
busiest
day
of
the
year.
