And four steps to mental well-being is making sure you do get enough sleep that you exercise. You eat well, and practicing mindfulness and meditation also helps. So sleep. Sleep is so extremely important. We need at least seven hours of sleep, and I know you're all very busy professionals. That sleep helps us to boost our immune system, it helps to reduce stress, improves our mood, increases productivity and improves memory. Exercise is also very important. It's recommended to do 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, which equates to 30 minutes a day, five days a week, which gives you two days to allow your muscles to rest and recover on eating right eating a balanced diet, nutritious, healthy food because it doesn't do any good if you do all the exercise and then you're just eating junk food. So that's part of your Wellness toolkit as well as practicing mindfulness and meditation. Now, for those of you that have never done that, have no clue what it is, there's apps that you can actually put on your phone that will guide you through it. I use Headspace. I love Headspace because I always have problems trying to fall asleep because my mind's always going 110 miles an hour. So I use it to help me with sleep. But it's just breathing techniques and it could be something simple as breathing in for four counts, holding the breath for four counts, and then exhaling for six counts, and may be doing that for, let's say 8-9 cycles, which will take maybe. 3 minutes.

The legal profession presents unique stress and challenges that can impact our mental well-being. That's why the SC Bar Lawyers Helping Lawyers program, encourages all attorneys to prioritize their mental health and seek support when needed. The South Carolina Rules of Professional Conduct emphasize the critical role mental health plays in maintaining professionalism and sound judgment.
