InBrief

Wellbeing

Mindfulness describes a particular way of paying attention, and is receiving wide interest across organisations seeking to meet the challenges of an ‘always-on’ culture. Barristers face stressful and sometimes overwhelming work demands and mindfulness meditation can be utilised in addressing these challenges. The Wellbeing Committee has organised 'The Mindful Barrister', an interactive presentation on Monday, 16 April 2018 at 5.15pm in the Common Room, to provide an overview of the science of how mindfulness reduces stress and enhances focus, introduce the practice of mindfulness meditation, and explore ways in which mindfulness can be incorporated into daily life and work.
