Physical Health

If you are interested in improving your physical health you may want to read The New Biology and watch The Alkalizing Presentation here.   You can choose whether or not to buy the products (which are great) but at a minimum this information should help you with nutrition and lifestyle choices.

Mental Health

Stress Management

Two items that are helpful with stress management are Stress Management For Lawyers by Amiriam Elwork Ph.D. and the StressEraser.  Dr. Elwork’s book is a short, simple look at personal and professional reasons lawyers experience stress, and what we can do about them.  The StressEraser is a biofeedback device that quickly helps synchronize your breathing with the natural cycle of your heartbeat.  It is especially helpful when stress is interfering with your sleep.

Depression
