Podcast Episode 129: Self-Care During Bar Exam Prep

January 16, 2018 By Bar Exam Toolbox Leave a Comment

Law School Toolbox podcast

Welcome to the Law School Toolbox Podcast! Today, we’re talking about something that’s incredibly important for everyone who’s preparing for the bar exam: self-care. Let’s face it, studying for the bar exam is stressful and so is legal practice. Working on self-care during your bar exam study period is one thing that will probably help you pass and also help you in your legal career.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Paying attention to your breathing, and using breath work for mental wellness and stress relief
  • Making time to exercise – it’s good for your brain and memory!
  • Laughter therapy – tricking your brain to produce more serotonin
  • Mindfulness: what it is, why it works, and how to incorporate it in your daily routine
  • Simple yoga poses for stress relief
  • Allowing yourself breaks – you’re not a robot
  • Real life ways of getting adequate sleep and nourishing your body with food and water
