Charlène Gisèle: Beating Burnout to Be That Lawyer

Description

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Charlène Gisèle discuss:

Taking the time to be, not just to do.
Drivers for burnout in lawyers.
The two voices in our head…and our choice on which we listen to.
The 6 tell-tale signs of burnout.
Understanding stress versus stressors.

Key Takeaways:

There is little room for anxiety when you are in the moment because you are fully present in the here and now.
Burnout affects more than just your career. It affects your mood, your personal relationships, your career, and every other aspect of your life. When you learn your stressors and how to manage the resulting stress, you can change your life.
There is no shame in struggling. The reason you are feeling the way you are feeling is because you are amazing! Because you do what you do at such a high level, that is why you are burning yourself out.
Surround yourself with your peers with whom you can have candid conversations.

"The best way to tell your body that the stressor has gone and you can let go of the stress is to speak body language to the body. The body only knows body language." — Charlène Gisèle
