Day 6 of 365: Small Wins Add Up It’s easy to get caught up in the big picture, but real progress lies in the small, consistent actions we take daily. Whether it’s sticking to your water intake goal, preparing a healthy meal, or simply taking a moment to breathe and reflect, these small wins create momentum. Today, focus on one action that aligns with your health and wellness goals. The journey isn’t about speed; it’s about consistency. What’s your one win today? Let’s celebrate it together!

Merry Christmas to all healthcare professionals and caregivers! As we embrace the joy, connection, and indulgence that comes with Christmas, let’s take a moment to reflect on the most valuable gift we have, our health. While you enjoy festive meals, cherish family moments, and reflect on the year gone by, ask yourself: Am I prioritizing my health as much as my work? Have I been intentional about self care this year? Christmas is a season of giving, but don't forget to give yourself the gift of balance. These are three simple ways to prioritize your health today: ♦ Mindful Eating Savor the delicious meals but remember to maintain a balance. Your energy tomorrow depends on the nourishment you give your body today. ♦ Connection Over Hustle Spend quality time with loved ones; emotional wellness is as crucial as physical health. ♦ Rest Without Guilt Take this day to relax. Whether it’s a nap, a good book, or a walk, your body deserves a moment to recharge. As we step into a new year, let’s carry these habits with us. Being a healthcare professional often means caring for others, but this Christmas, remember that you deserve the same care and attention. Wishing you a healthier, more balanced 2025! Let’s reflect on what health means to us and make it a priority. What self care practice will you embrace this Christmas season? #SelfCareThisChristmas #HealthcareBalance #ReflectAndRecharge

Self-Care Doesn't Have to Be Complicated In our household, we have a mantra: "You don't get what you deserve. You get what you go for.” This applies to all aspects of life, including health and well-being. You don't deserve to be sick or feel like crap—you can earn better health through your actions and choices. Many of us struggle with the idea of taking time for self-care, myself included. We feel selfish for focusing on ourselves, believe we lack the time, and feel controlled by outside circumstances. These barriers prevent us from prioritizing our health. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish; it's necessary. By investing in your health, you’re better equipped to care for others. Remember, self-care allows you to give from a place of abundance rather than depletion. Time is a resource we all have in equal measure; it depends on how you use it. Prioritizing self-care is about making small, consistent choices that add up over time.  Like taking a 10-minute walk or preparing a healthy meal. While we can't control everything, we can control our responses. Shifting your mindset to focus on what you can do empowers you to take proactive steps toward better health, despite external challenges. In my house we call this, putting in the reps. It takes time to build this self-care muscle. You have the power to take responsibility for your health. Just as you work toward your professional goals, you can earn your fitness and nutrition goals. Start with small steps and be consistent. Below are a few ideas to get you going. What self-care practice will you prioritize this week?
