I am a Paralegal in our Personal Injury Department and as a busy working mum of two boys, I appreciate how important ‘down time’ is to deal with stress and have a reasonable work-life balance.
My ways of relaxing include spending time in nature and trying to be creative, either individually or with my boys. My eldest boy has anxiety issues and I find that time drawing, painting or sailing along the country lanes near home on his scooter does wonders for his confidence and sense of calm.
Mindfulness is fast becoming a key way to quieten stressful thoughts and ensure that the body has time to de-stress at the end of a busy day. I also appreciate how much such practices could help my Personal Injury clients. Life is busy and stressful enough as it is, and the pressures and concerns caused by unexpected injury can tip some victims over into mental health problems as well as physical ones.
As you are going about your day today, take a few moments to breathe calmly and take in your surroundings. Notice the bright green of the trees and the clouds in the sky. Even a few moments of mindfulness a day can make all the difference!
