What is Mindful Pause?

Sure–showing up and putting in the work sounds simple, but it’s much harder to do on your own. Like hiring a personal trainer, Mindful Pause helps members make strides consistently and with more stickiness.

What is Mindful Pause?

  • Guidance from Jeena Cho during each session about practical ways you can infuse mindfulness into your work and life for a more joyful and satisfying law practice.
  • A community of people who are there to practice with you and support you as you develop this new habit. Community feedback and accountability is critical for building any new habit, and mindfulness is no exception.

You can’t get this from a mindfulness app on your phone!

If you’ve been meaning to start a mindfulness practice or you have difficulty making
it a habit, Mindful Pause is the perfect way to break the habit of procrastination.

Who is Mindful Pause for?

Mindful Pause is expertly Design by lawyers for lawyers (and legal professionals).

  • Live, expertly guided practice with topics curated especially for lawyers and legal professionals
  • Examples of how to apply mindfulness in everyday situations
  • Learn from the shared experiences of other lawyers
  • Opportunity to ask questions about your practice and guidance from Jeena Cho
  • Excerpts from The Anxious Lawyer book provided each month for further study
  • Regularly scheduled live Zoom sessions to create a habit of mindfulness

How does it work?

Every Monday – Thursday at 9:30 AM PST | 12:30 PM EST, we’ll come together on Zoom for 10 minutes. I’ll lead us through a guided mindfulness practice to help you easily drop into the moment.

When the 10 minutes are up, you return to your day feeling grounded, present, and calm. You can also hang out for a few minutes for brief discussions and a question-and-answer period (generally around 5 minutes).

There are no expectations here. No strings. No requirement to do it right or have perfect attendance. You show up when you want to. You take what you need. And you see the effects ripple out through the rest of your life.

In addition, there will be 30-minute practice sessions throughout the year, scheduled on Fridays (12 sessions in total).

Miss a session or want further study? All sessions are recorded and made available via video or on your favorite podcast app.

“Joining [Jeena] for the Mindful Pause each morning, has been invaluable in helping me to find peace and meaning in my work as an attorney and, frankly, in my life as a whole.”

Attorney, California DOJ

“Mindful Pause was a perfect respite for me to ground myself, and remember to take a breath, and was infinitely doable between assignments on busy days!”

Laura Maechtlen | Partner, Seyfarth Shaw LLP

“I started attending Jeena Cho’s Mindful Pause in March 2020. It was and continues to be an uncertain and anxiety-filled time. Taking ten minutes each day to participate in Jeena’s program has been a lifesaver to help clear my mind, and keep myself present and more focused.”

“Jeena Cho’s Mindful Pause program has been an essential element of my self-care regimen. Through the program, I’ve gained insight into the dynamics that activate my stress; as a result, I am better equipped to design how I respond to situations. Starting the day with our brief meditation practice has enabled me to catch my breath and bring a level of intentionality to my work.”

Susanne Aronowitz, Legal Career & Executive Coaching Partner at Andrus Anderson LLP

Jeena Cho

Lawyer, Author, Mindfulness Instructor

Jeena Cho is a lawyer, mindfulness and meditation consultant, and the co-author of the best-selling book, The Anxious Lawyer (ABA). Known throughout the industry for making mindfulness and meditation accessible and approachable to lawyers, she uses her intimate familiarity with the high demands and stress lawyers face day-to-day to create actionable change strategies for individual lawyers and firms alike.

Drawn to Social Justice
As a child immigrant from South Korea, Jeena always felt pulled towards social justice and a deep desire to be of service to her community. She started her career as an Assistant State Attorney at the State Attorney’s Office 13th Judicial Circuit. During that time, she tried over twenty jury trials and hundreds of bench trials. Wanting to make a greater impact, she switched practice areas and started a consumer bankruptcy law practice in San Francisco where she helped people and small businesses find solutions to overwhelming debt problems.

Ambitious and Present
Now, she works with high-performing, ambitious lawyers to perform better, reframe hindering thought patterns, and improve their wellness, self-care, and mindfulness. She also works with both lawyers and law firms on stress management, work-life balance, career transition, DEI issues, increasing productivity, and overall wellness.

Making an Impact
She is a regular contributor to ABA Journal and Above the Law, and has been featured in O, The Oprah Magazine, Women’s Health, MSNBC, Wall Street Journal, and Forbes magazine.

Continual Growth
Jeena started her meditation practice at the Himalayan Institute in Buffalo, NY. She has trained in Mindfulness and Compassion Cultivation Training at a number of institutions, including Stanford University, and has attended numerous mindfulness retreats on mindfulness at organizations including the Spirit Rock, Insight Retreat Center, and the San Francisco Zen Center. She has completed the teacher training practicum for Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). She is a graduate of the Coaching for Life and Work Certificate Program at UC Davis. She has also completed the Foundations in Somatic Abolitionism, 6-month Communal Consultations and a 5-day retreat at Omega Institute through Education for Racial Equity.

Community Support
She also provides support to the law community more broadly through the best-selling The Anxious Lawyer: An 8-Week Guide to a Joyful and Satisfying Law Practice Through Mindfulness and Meditation (ABA), as well as through her regular contributions to the ABA Journal and Above the Law, and her regular interviews on national media. She is also the author of the LexisNexis guide How to Manage Your Law Office, where she wrote about starting, growing, and managing a solo practice, and has co-run a study on mindfulness with findings published in PsyArXiv. She holds a J.D. and B.A. from University at Buffalo.

“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 present with my very young children and not thinking about a hundred other things. It has really helped my relationship with my family, my work, and life in general. I am ever grateful to her.”
