Reframe a Challenge

Pursuing a legal path is demanding, but how you view the challenges along the way will determine whether you end up stressed and burned out or joyful and inspired.

Take a moment to try reframing your thinking around a project or problem you're facing, using this example of putting law school into positive perspective from Professor Larry Krieger and Theresa Revell Krieger.

Stressed Mindset

"Law school is…

Intense Competition … Class Rank … GPA … Top 10% … Law Review … Moot Court … High Debt … Long Hours … Constant work."

Healthy Mindset

"Law school is…

Growing … Learning … Expanding … Exciting … Empowered … Helping … Fairness … Goodness … Purpose … Meaning … Finding myself."
