I have turned a corner with my healthcare and lifestyle practices in my forties and try to personally practice good self-care as best as I can as often as possible. In the past, I have not been good at this whosoever!
I have felt a big difference, thus when I see my colleagues not practicing the best self-care I want to help! I try to inspire colleagues to practice good self-care through various activities such as taking a short walk, petting a dog, going on a fieldtrip, sharing salad, or playing a game as a group.
Not only is it physically and mentally healthy to walk away from your desk periodically, but the activities that I put together also help us get to know each other better and bond. We have a lot of fun and slowly the group sizes are increasing!

April fool’s day. We all dressed up like one of our co-workers and surprised him.
