New Year Resolutions: 1) it’s ok to say No. 2) take time off. Like, for real. Stop answering emails. Better yet, stop reading emails. 3) create a better work life balance.

I need to learn how to do some of these things!

🔑 The Value of the 90-Second Pause in Effective Communication 🔑 In the hustle and bustle of professional life, it's easy to find ourselves reacting rather than responding, especially in the legal industry where every word matters. That's why I advocate for the power of the 90-second pause. When we react impulsively, we often overlook the opportunity to truly understand the situation and craft a thoughtful response. By giving ourselves just 90 seconds to pause, think, and process, we can transform our knee-jerk reactions into well-thought-out responses. This shift from reaction to response is paramount in effective communication. As legal professionals, our goal is to optimize outcomes for our clients and our firm. Thoughtful responses foster positive communication, idea exchange, and collaboration, ultimately leading to auspicious results. On the flip side, reactions can have detrimental consequences. They can escalate conflicts, damage relationships, and hinder progress. By embracing the 90-second pause, we can steer clear of these pitfalls and pave the way for success. Remember, we're all working towards the same end goal: achieving positive results for our firm, our clients, and ourselves. While we may not always see eye to eye on every issue, practicing the 90-second pause empowers us to navigate challenges with grace and effectiveness. I encourage you to integrate the 90-second pause into your daily routine. Watch as it transforms your approach to communication, leading to success in your career, personal growth, and team dynamics. Let's embrace the power of thoughtful responses and pave the way for success together!

This is a state of mind.

We use data on 10,693 individuals aged 50 years and over from six waves (2002–2012) of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Mental health is measured by the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES) and physical health by the Activities of Daily Living (ADL). We find significant direct and indirect effects for both forms of health, with indirect effects explaining 10% of the effect of past mental health on physical health and 8% of the effect of past physical health on mental health. Physical activity is the largest contributor to the indirect effects. There are stronger indirect effects for males in mental health (9.9%) and for older age groups in mental health (13.6%) and in physical health (12.6%). Health policies aiming at changing physical and mental health need to consider not only the direct cross-effects but also the indirect cross-effects between mental health and physical health. https://lnkd.in/g4Hn6igF

Some of the most valuable learning I've experienced has come on the heels of a mistake. I have to remind myself in those moments to give myself grace; we all make mistakes. If I don't learn something from it, I've missed an opportunity to grow. It's through practice and making mistakes that we gain the most knowledge and growth. Proud to be part of a community that embraces continuous learning and improvement. #LifelongLearning #ProfessionalGrowth

This is a key point I always emphasize during my interviews with potential employers.
