Absolutely. I know few Creatives that don't. I didn't come from the great neighborhood/great school like many of my colleagues. Sometimes I feel like my background haunts me...like I'm gonna be found out or something. Not sure it goes away.

Totally. Write all the shit you’ve accomplished, look up the statistics you’ve defied, and figure out what history you are currently making. “First _______ -American at ____ to ________”

Scout out mentors of color - learn how they got be leaders and successes, use their coping strategies...

Similarly, find allies at your level or similar - create your own support group for each other. You’ll be benefiting from it, while also helping others - which is also a good way to help beat imposter syndrome.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

In the past, lawyer wellness and lawyer discipline/character fitness for bar applicants have existed in silos. I’d like to finally form a bridge between lawyer disciple and lawyer wellness and focus on prevention. When we think of lawyer discipline, we automatically think of outrageous behavior like stealing money. Those are extreme. The common cases are too stressed out and forgetting deadlines or death of a loved one and not having time to call clients back. Cont’d
