When a lawyer discovers the habits that protect brain health and empower mental strength, she will embark on a series of changes. She will be moved to invest in her well-being. It takes only a few months of work to reap the brain health benefits. A recent clinical trial demonstrated that an eight-week diet and lifestyle program can reverse biological aging in otherwise healthy adult males, aged 50-72. The intervention included prescriptions for exercise, sleep, stress management, and diet. Commitment to lifestyle changes can be difficult for some people. Research reveals two helpful strategies: action planning, developing concrete steps for achieving a goal, and coping planning, to identify and overcome the barriers to your goals. This chapter presents tools for creating an action plan for the areas of concern for each individual lawyer, including stress management, self-medication, nutrition, brain health, and mental strength. There are tips for moving from the action plan to durable change, including fresh start strategy, habit stacking, and tracking new practices.
