Mindful Pause: 6 Minutes to Better Lawyering

Experience more ease, and less stress.

Self-paced online course designed by a lawyer for lawyers.

Are you feeling...

Do any of these thoughts sound familiar?

What if you could create a more
sustainable, peaceful, and productive law practice in just 6-minutes a day?

Just like the practice of law, managing stress also requires PRACTICE.

I am Jeena Cho. I was the "anxious lawyer" and now I'm the mindful lawyer.

Is your solution to double down and do more? Work harder. Take on more obligations. Make more sacrifices. How’s it working for you?

I’ve been there… Losing sleep because you’re worried about your clients’ problems. Constantly trying to see around corners.

Want to know a secret? Being a lawyer doesn’t have to be this way.

I started my career as an assistant state attorney in 2004, and have been practicing bankruptcy law since 2009. Seven years ago, I had constant, chronic anxiety and was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder. 

I have seen first hand the power of adding a simple mindfulness and meditation practice to my daily life.

Here’s what I’ve learned in my journey from “the anxious lawyer” to “the mindful lawyer.” We were never TAUGHT healthy, sustainable behaviors that promote well-being.

The Science Behind Mindfulness

Results From 8-Weeks of Mindful Pause Program

Job effectiveness: Increased by 6%

Stress: Decreased by 32%

Anxiety: Decreased by 30%

Depression: Decreased by 29%

Results of the research study by the Department of Psychology & Brain and Mind Institute at The University of Western Ontario on impact of mindfulness and meditation practice for lawyers. Lawyers participated in an eight week mindfulness meditation program that was based on The Anxious Lawyer book by Jeena Cho. (Read the full study.)

"While the "thinking mind" is a critical tool for lawyers, meditation relaxes the thinking mind, allowing new and creative insights to surface. Most of my best trial strategies and business initiatives emerged in this way! But the real benefit is the peace and calmness that meditation has added to my life."

What Results Can I Expect?

I’ve been to several of Jeena’s workshops. I find her warm, compassionate and funny style engaging and inspiring. Her book inspired the longest run at meditation that I have ever had as well as a fresh approach to being really with my very young children and not thinking about a 100 other things. It has really helped my relationship with my family, my work and life in general. I am ever grateful to her.

About Jeena Cho

I teach lawyers to harness the power of mindfulness to decrease stress and anxiety while increasing focus and concentration. I have special insights into what lawyers go through because I am a lawyer.

I started my legal career as an assistant state attorney in 2004, handling domestic violence cases, and I have been practicing bankruptcy law at JC Law Group PC since 2009.

I’m the co-author of The Anxious Lawyer, the first book published by the American Bar Association on mindfulness and meditation. Today I speak, coach, and provide training to law firms on how lawyers can use mindfulness to boost productivity while enjoying a happier and more fulfilling professional and personal life.

Mindful Pause can be the added boost of peace, calm, resilience and optimism that you need to feel more joyful, fulfilled, productive and successful as a lawyer – at work and in your personal life.
