Let's face it, in law practice, as in life, we inevitably get stressed. In the midst of the stress, we often don’t know how best to respond or we end up responding in habitually negative ways. RAIN – which stands for Recognize, Allow, Investigate and Nurture – is a mindfulness practice you can use in the moment to respond with more poise and peace to difficult events, thoughts and emotions.

Join AILA Lawyer Wellness Committee members Ken Mayeaux and Laura Kelley for this roundtable discussion on how RAIN can help you.

Discussion Topics

  • Recognize and Notice Difficult Thoughts and Emotions
  • Establish a Practice for Attending to These Thoughts and Emotions
  • Create Space for a More Effective Response to the Inevitable Stresses of Law and Life
