Being Mindful with the Spiritual Litigator Cheyne Scott - Spiritual Litigator
-
- Business
This podcast is for high achieving attorneys whose passion for the practice of law may have been extinguished by years of stress, self doubt and anxiety.
Cheyne Scott gives advice from the inside of the profession and can relate to other attorneys who experience the pressures of the billable hour, the hierarchy of a mid-sized law firm and the day to day pressures of circumstances out of our control, such as the actions and attitudes of adversaries, clients, supervisors and judges.
Mindfulness is not just about being zen and sitting meditating on a mountain or on the beach. It is about accepting, observing and noticing what is going on in the moment without judgment. Mindfulness is also about noticing the ways that make you the most effective lawyer; noticing what is and what is not in your control; and knowing when it is time to let go.
The goal of this podcast is to discuss how mindfulness can lead to increased satisfaction, fulfilment and success not only in the practice of law but in all areas of an attorney’s life.

Being Mindful During Tough Times
Can being mindful help you during especially tough times?
In this week’s episode of Being Mindful with the Spiritual Litigator, I talk about how mindfulness helped me cope with the emotional stress caused by a car accident I had in January. I talk about how I worked through guilt, decided not to go for the quick emotional fix that alcohol offered and took the longer yet sustainable road to emotional recovery through gratitude journaling.

Worst Case Scenario Solutions
Why are lawyers always focused on the worst case scenario?
Well, that’s what they were taught to do in law school and what they are required to do in practice.
Unfortunately, lawyers have a difficult time turning that worst case scenario switch off which can lead to paralyzing fear and anxiety that can reduce your productivity, strain your personal relationships and negatively impact your mental health.
In this week’s episode I discuss how you can use that worst case scenario to your advantage by taking control of your lawyer brain and using it to identify and implement actionable solutions. -
