We are six weeks into the COVID-19 shutdown in Connecticut. It is difficult to believe a month and a half have already passed. By now you are likely establishing a new routine, recognizing what works best for you after perhaps trying a few different approaches to your unanticipated work-from-home life. Despite the stressors related to work, health, and finances, you may be finding that in some ways you do not mind your new routine as much as you had originally thought. Perhaps you have more time to exercise now that you are not commuting. Or, as a few people have told me, perhaps you are appreciating the forced downtime and the break from an active social life, maybe even learning more about yourself in the process.

One positive I have consistently observed has been an increased awareness and appreciation of the importance of self-care among lawyers and other high-achieving professionals. People are more genuinely engaged with stress management and well-being interventions than ever before.
