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...
- Burned out?
- Overwhelmed?
- Constantly stressed and anxious?
- Perpetually pressed for time?
- Lack focus and concentration?
Do any of these thoughts sound familiar?
- I’m so unhappy! I feel trapped and hopeless.
- I never have enough time.
- I’m not good enough. Good enough lawyer... good enough spouse/parent... Always letting someone down.
- I feel so alone. I feel like a failure; I’m the only one going through this stress.
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.

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.
