Monday Motivation

Keeping your hands & your workspace clean is a MUST right now- but not only will that prove to be beneficial where COVID-19 is concerned-  a clean desk will also free your mind to be more creative!  You will be able to find the things you need, complete tasks more efficiently, and think more clearly.  When others stop by your desk or workspace, they’ll see your organization as a reflection of you & your capabilities- and hopefully they will be motivated to take action as well!  

Action:  Take 5-10 minutes to clean & organize your desk today.  You’ll be glad you did!

Get outside and move your body today!

Springtime can bring unpredictable weather.  When the weather calls for it, it is ALWAYS a great idea to fit in some outdoors time on the weekends.  Spending time outdoors can improve overall health & wellness.  Time outdoors may also promote mental health & stress reduction.

On sunny weekend days, try to fit in some family time & go for a hike or a trip to the park!  If it is raining (and not too cold out), suit up with old clothes, raincoats, boots, etc & show those puddles who’s boss!  Playing with water toys in puddles & catching rain drops on your tongue with the kiddos would be great ways to enjoy weather that you previously deemed unsuitable for outdoor time.  There’s always a silver lining!  🙂

National Dress in Blue Day is Friday, March 6th

Blue is the color of the day on Friday, March 6, to raise awareness for colon cancer, the second most deadly form of cancer among men and women in the country.

When you participate in National Dress in Blue Day, you show your support for colon cancer screenings, which can save lives. Colon cancer is highly treatable when it’s caught early, yet one-third of adults are not getting screened as recommended.

If your scrub color or uniform does not allow you to wear blue, there are other ways for you to show your support, including:

• Wear a blue ribbon on your scrubs or badge.

• Recognize a colon cancer survivor.

• Encourage your friends and family to wear blue.

• Learn your risk by taking an online colon cancer risk assessment.

If you’re age 50 or older, Norton Healthcare has made it simple for you to schedule your colonoscopy. With weekend appointments available and at-home colon cancer screening tests, why wait?

Visit NortonHealthcare.com/Colon to schedule your appointment today.
