We are changing and altering the structure of our brain by how we're choosing to pay attention, and so when we sit and we practice mindfulness, it may very well be that we finish that two or three or five or or-minute practice not necessarily feeling a whole lot better.
Picture this: a law student, buried under mountains of casebooks and deadlines, finds a moment of peace. In this episode, Scott Rogers, a nationally recognized expert in mindfulness and law, chats with host Stephen Slawinski about how mindfulness can transform the hectic life of a law student. Rogers, the brain behind the Institute for Mindfulness Studies and the Mindfulness in Law Program at the University of Miami, brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.
He breaks down the benefits of mindfulness, from improving attention to making law students more effective and empathetic counselors. The conversation kicks off with why mindfulness is a game-changer for law students. It’s not just about feeling zen; it’s about rewiring the brain to handle stress better. Rogers shares practical tips on how students can start their mindfulness journey and stick with it, even when it feels tough.
He tackles common hurdles like discomfort and boredom head-on, offering advice on how to push through these barriers. The episode wraps up with a special treat: a three-minute mindfulness exercise led by Rogers himself. It’s a quick, practical way for listeners to dip their toes into mindfulness and experience its calming effects firsthand.
Whether you’re a law student drowning in assignments or just curious about mindfulness, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps to bring a bit of calm into your chaotic world.
