Humming Jazmine Sullivan: Emotion Regulation Practices for Legal Professionals

A Webinar Sponsored by the Well Being in Law Institute
**Not approved for Alabama CLE credit**

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
To paraphrase neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor, people are emotional beings who have thoughts rather than thinking beings who have emotions. Yet, we allocate our time and energy in ways that suggest the opposite, especially in the legal workplace. In this session, lawyer-turned-DEI & wellness advocate, Denise A. Robinson, https://lawyerwellbeing.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Denise-Johnson-Bio.pdf, will use inspiration from Jazmine Sullivan’s Grammy-winning song, “Pick Up Your Feelings,” to explore simple, accessible practices legal professionals can engage to regulate our emotions throughout the workday. These practices will range from a breathing technique to down-regulate the nervous system, to how we can use music to shift our mood, to stimulating the vagus nerve. Come ready to move your body, hum along to some tunes, and breathe into greater emotional well-being.

An important pathway to well-being that positive psychology seeks to harness is the activation of positive emotional states to promote mental health and protect against depressive symptoms. In this session, you’ll learn an evidence-based positivity exercise that invites you (alone or with others) to practice 10 discrete positive emotions–including joy, gratitude, and awe. Research has shown that this practice can increase the experience of meaning, pleasure, engagement, and life satisfaction and curb depressive symptoms. After the session, you’ll receive reminders to practice specific positive emotions all month and ideas for how to do so.
