Studies suggest listening to music or meditation as simple as looking at a beautiful lake can give a remarkable boost to judges according to Judge Adam Fisher of South Carolina. In judicial education sessions for judges (and their partners) across the country, Judge Fisher describes the biochemical changes attending stress. He advocates immediate mind control upon signs of stress, physical exercise after a stress “spike,” and raising the level of the body’s normal resistance to stress.
Many judicial families augment
their own knowledge of stress reduction techniques through educational
programs or personal counseling offered by local or nearby health clubs,
churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, colleges, universities, and
various mental health counselors. Often they select resources outside
their own community or state. Many judges and their family members share
ideas by connecting with judges and their families from other states.
