think about the “good ol’ days?”

Back then, when I started practicing law, lawyers were held in high regard. But that was the same time that the numbers of lawyers exploded – the engineering craze ended when the NASA space programs decreased – the rules for legal advertising were liberalized, and competition became the name of the game. Winning at almost any price took the place of well-mannered, carefully worded argumentation.

My point is that the pressure to get clients and to win their cases coupled with the decline in public stature took their toll on many lawyers individually.

There are now about 94,000 attorneys in the state of Illinois. An estimated 30% of them (of us) are alcoholics, 28% suffer depression, and 19% suffer from anxiety issues. There are no studies or statistics on the issue of whether stress and burnout were causes, but I personally believe they must have been, as do several who write on the subject.

I left the practice of law to become a minister because of issues I now recognize as stress related. The work seemed to be unending, uninteresting, and unfulfilling. I describe it as being “in a rut on an endless treadmill approaching burnout.”

I had to find work that was meaningful and fulfilling, even though it meant a great financial sacrifice for myself and my family.

Many lawyers cannot make the sacrifices of income, status, and family perks and conveniences. The ones who have inner conflict between their mental desires for security versus their soul-felt need for change makes intolerable the job pressures which other lawyers find typical, challenging, and even enjoyable.

Since I am one of them, attorney stress and burnout pains me a lot. And I feel I have to do what I can to help. Clergy burnout will come next. I realize that doctors, nurses, and dentists are much higher on the list of occupation-caused burnouts (attorneys are 8th highest), I don’t have quite the same emotional attachment for them, just the same mental desire to be helpful.

The result is that I am available and well qualified the guide stressed out people out of their feelings of helplessness and hopelessness to lives of love, joy, and peace; patience, kindness, and goodness; faithfulness, gentleness, and self- control.

I am offering a fee-waived initial coaching session which will demonstrate the positive, renewing possibilities my coaching can provide and which are so sorely needed by those suffering the afflictions of feeling stressed out.

You can email me at [email protected] or phone (618) 917-0570 to set up a time for us to talk.

The sooner you do the sooner you can find enjoyment in life and rediscover the reasons you entered your profession “way back then.”

Early one morning a boy and his grandfather went for a walk along the beach. The boy stopped to pick up a starfish and throw it back into the ocean so that it wouldn’t die in the sunshine.

Grandfather said, “You know, there are lots of starfish that get washed up onto the shore. You can’t save them all, so what difference does it make to save this one?”

The boy replied, “To this one it makes all the difference in the world.”

Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from doing what you can. Helping one person you see that needs help is great.

From Burnout to Transformation | High Achievers’ Transformation

“Burnout doesn’t go away on its own; rather, it will get worse unless you address the underlying issues causing it.”

“It’s important that you begin recovery as soon as possible.” MindTools.com

I am able to help build the foundation which so many other programs omit. They tell you to think positive, when your thoughts are all of defeat and despair. They tell you to get restful sleep, when you have insomnia. They tell you to set goals, but you are forgetful and have difficulty concentrating. They tell you what you need to do but they don’t tell you how,

I help you rebuild your basics, renew your hope, and then move ahead with the specifics.

Contact me by private message or cellphone (618-917-0570) to get started on transforming your life to one you’ll enjoy and be proud of.
