Have you ever noticed that when you’ve just learned a new word, you hear it more often? Or when you’re thinking of buying a certain type of car, you spot it on the street all the time? ⁣
⁣
Similarly, when thinking negatively, it’s easy to see the negative in situations. And when looking for opportunity, it’s easy to see opportunities. Our thoughts matter. ⁣
⁣
The cool thing is that we have the ability to change our own thoughts & feelings, simply by making the • choice • to do so. Of course, that "simple" action is not always so simple - BUT we are, without a doubt, capable 💕⁣

#ad Wearing my favorite white coat by @barco.uniforms 🥼 This is the Grey’s Anatomy Signature 2402 lab coat. It’s super soft and the fit is tailored. I wear a size medium in everything Barco! For reference, I’m 5’8 and wear a medium in pretty much all other clothing items, so I think Barco is pretty true to size.

I’m tired of this pandemic, too. We’re all tired of it. I wish that would make this whole thing disappear, but it won’t.⁣

With the holidays approaching, it’s easy to get a bit lax. But a few simple habits like wearing a mask and washing/sanitizing your hands frequently can make a big difference in slowing the spread of #COVID19 🦠⁣
⁣
• Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds⁣
• If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub that contains at least 60% alcohol⁣
⁣
When to wash your hands:⁣
• After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing⁣
• After being in a public place⁣
• Before and after caring for someone who is sick⁣
• Before, during, and after preparing or eating food⁣
• After using the restroom⁣
⁣
We are truly all in this together!⁣
#ad I like to keep this @everyoneproducts hand sanitizer on me at all times so that I can sanitize at the grocery store or at the gas pump #everyonelovescleanhands #everyoneforeverybody #everyonesanitizer #madeforeveryone

Making an effort to pack some good snacks while on

Making an effort to pack some good snacks while on my inpatient medicine month & stocked up on some favorites from @cvspharmacy #CVSpartner ⁣
⁣
I have about a week of inpatient medicine left and then I transition to the ICU for the month of December! Over the past 3 weeks, I haven’t been paying great attention to my own health. I know many of you in the healthcare field can relate - spending so much time taking care of others that we lose sight of our own health. Sometimes I’m on top of my healthy eating and working out every day. Other times I go 2 weeks without working out, reaching for salty hospital cafeteria snacks when I hit that 2pm slump at work. This is totally normal, but I think it’s important to be self-reflective and re-focus our goals when our busy schedules get the best of us. ⁣
⁣
Keeping my bag stocked means less desperate trips to the hospital cafeteria. I’ve been making an effort to swap out unhealthy hospital snacks for more choices I can feel good about. Some of my favorites are these @hippeas_snacks Puffs, @madeinnature Figgy Pops, and @lorissaskitchen Korean BBQ jerky 😋 ⁣
⁣
The best part? I can conveniently grab all of these better-for-you snacks (that satisfy all my cravings) on the way to work at my local CVS! Click the link in my bio to learn more and check out some of my favorite healthier alternative swaps #ThisOrThatAtCVS #FindYourHealthy #DiscoverCVS ⁣

What are your favorite alternative swaps when it comes to snacking?⁣

🤍 We often find ourselves setting goal after go

🤍 We often find ourselves setting goal after goal, working towards the next thing that we believe will complete us. We work so hard to reach it, but when we do, that satisfaction is temporary. So we work even harder. Towards a new goal, a higher standard. Continually delaying gratification for ourselves. Because, we’ll be happy when we reach the next step, right?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Set goals, work hard, & strive for improvement, but take this moment to realize how far you’ve come. Quit delaying gratification. And choose to be happy in this moment. There will always be a ‘next step,’ but your life won’t wait while you work to reach it.
