Florida Bar Health And Wellness Center. Don’t wait until you are an old lawyer to figure out that you need to take care of your mental AND physical health in order to practice law for a long time. Some of us were lucky, and made it to a ripe old age while not realizing that life needs balance until we were middle aged. It is not important, healthy or essential to work 18 hours a day six days a week. The need for balance has never been part of what many consider successful. In fact, in some firms, it was once considered a weakness. Solo practice can be just as time eating as Big Law regimens. It isn’t the firm’s responsibility to tell you what balance you need. And, as some addicted lawyers will tell you, drugs and alcohol aren’t the answer either. Status and money and possessions are nice; but, they aren’t essential. The Florida Bar has recognized the need to help lawyers with more than seminars on legal topics, and help with finding the right tech for the law firm. Check out the articles. And, take a break. Get a life.
