Excerpt: We all know that the practice of law is stressful. We have client demands coming at us through phone, cell phone, CrackBerrys, fax and (even) post. Clients want more, quicker. We may have pressures in our partnerships, money worries and attempts at having a life outside the office. We try to meet these needs that, in the process, take a toll on ourselves. We may develop health problems such as high blood pressure, anxiety disorders and panic attacks. We may see personal relationships suffer. We may feel unhappy and discontent with the practice of law.

I have a suggestion of what to do to deal with the immediate symptoms of stress. Practising a simple and short meditation may help give you some short-term relief that may help you in the long run if you decide to incorporate meditation into your daily routine.
