This was fun to do. Can't wait to see what next year brings

As we close out this months challenge, I feel that the reflective aspect of this challenge were the most beneficial for me. In the day in and day out hustle and bustle of work/life it can be easy to move on to the next thing and forget to take some time for yourself, pause and reflect upon the intention of your actions. Good times.

I was really surprised by the amount of active minutes I was doing in a day. This was a great experience

Last day rally! I have enjoyed being mindful every day!

I was very surprised to learn that desflurane contributes to greenhouse gas emissions or that healthcare contributes 8% to the problem. That is significant. I think the first barrier to greening ORs is knowledge. Getting the word out to staff and leadership who make decisions on what we use is the first step.

I started the healthcare ecochallenge late in the month and I'm sad that it is coming to an end. My goal is to continue the practices that I committed to during the challenge.

The weather is going to be nice this weekend and I'm going to spend more time outside enjoying nature and walking!

I am enjoying having a couple of daily goals to focus on - and then hold myself accountable by checking in. I especially love focusing on gratitude and writing these things down each day.

Thankful for the sunshine today and the warmer temperatures. I found that I walked into work with a positive attitude and a special smile because of the sunshine.
