Dear Members,
As we navigate the demands of our work in the lab, we understand how challenging it can be to prioritize our physical and mental well-being, especially during the winter months when the temptation to hibernate is strong.
With this in mind, we are excited to introduce 'Fit February', a wellness challenge designed to inspire and motivate all lab professionals to take proactive steps towards a healthier lifestyle. The challenge will run from February 5th to March 29th, and we encourage everyone to participate.
Here are the three categories you can sign up for:
Fitness Challenge:
This category focuses on physical fitness. Whether you're looking to shed some extra weight or build muscle, this is the perfect opportunity to embark on a fitness journey.
Healthy Food Choices:
Good nutrition is the foundation of overall well-being. In this category, participants can commit to making healthier food choices, exploring nutritious recipes, and sharing tips for maintaining a balanced diet.
Mental Wellness:
Mental health is just as important as physical health. This category encourages members to explore various practices to enhance mental well-being, such as mindfulness, stress management, or simply taking time for self-care.
You can choose to sign up for one or all three categories – the decision is entirely yours!
To foster a sense of community and support, we've created a dedicated space for Fit February in our Thinkific Community. Here, participants can share their journeys, seek advice, and provide encouragement to fellow members. We believe that a collective effort can make the challenge more enjoyable and impactful. If you are new to Thinkific, simply email us and we will provide you access.
If you and your lab are interested in participating, please send us an email today. There will be prizes for each category. Prizes are based on participation, creativity and success!
The MLPAO office will also be participating. So, stay tuned to our updates as well! Let's commit to investing in ourselves and creating a healthier, happier lab community.
Here's to a fit and fabulous February for all of us!
Sincerely,
Michelle Hoad, CAE
