Focus on Your Mental Health

As an introvert, working from home can be heaven for me. I get exhausted if I have too many in-person meetings or networking events, etc. However, even introverts get lonely sometimes. This means extroverts may suffer even more being isolated. Loneliness and stress and anxiety can creep up on lawyers working from home. While it is important to keep up social distancing, we can still check in with friends and colleagues and loved ones over the phone, by texting, video conferencing, etc. The OBA makes it easy for you to stay engaged through LinkedIn groups, online webcasts, and section meetings.

Also, make sure you set aside some time to read a great book or go for a walk or sit on your deck and enjoy the sunshine. While we may be avoiding the gym right now, we can still set aside some time to exercise at home or in our backyards. Try to keep up all the little self-care steps your normally take.
