Change #5 - Relationships
It is extremely important to maintain at least one relationship that nourishes you. I know that almost all relationships are put on hold when you are preparing for the bar exam, especially if you have other commitments and responsibilities. However, you need to have at least one relationship which you can lean on for support during this time. This might even mean that the relationship is fairly one-sided for this period. If it is a quality relationship, that person will probably understand your selfishness and be willing to give that support. Your idea of a supportive relationship might be the one you have with your cat (since you can be utterly selfish), or even a bar exam forum where there are others who are able to commisurate with your struggles. The important thing is that you share your frustrations, stress, fears, etc. with someone. You need to express your challenges and receive understanding and encouragement in return. {Did you find this post helpful?
