April is known for Earth day. We can make conscious efforts to focus on our environmental health this month by making small lifestyle changes that benefit the planet.
Sometimes a “zero waste” lifestyle or sustainability journey can seem really out of reach, but the truth is that making sustainability swaps doesn’t have to be difficult or costly! Even a few small changes can make a big difference. Here are a few you can consider this Earth Month:
Spend time in nature. Last but not least, spend time in the great outdoors as you celebrate this big, blue beauty we call Mother Earth. This is a great way to mitigate some climate anxiety, renew your sense of wonder and hope for the world, and honor the planet in all its glory.
Today through the end of the month, we challenge you to do one thing to support environmental health. Take a picture of your efforts and share with Paige Nelson at pnelson@welia.org. All participants will receive a seedling tree to take home!
Welia Health helped pack food boxes for Ukraine last weekend. With over 30 volunteers at the event, we helped donate just over 17,000 meals! Thank you to everyone who participated. If you are interested in participating in our next volunteer event, reach out to Paige nelson at pnelson@welia.org.

Are you feeling the need for a change, or wanting to improve on something in 2023? There is no doubting that 2020 and 2021 were tough years. Some would argue that 2022 hasn’t been that great either… Even more reason to focus on the inspiring, the good, the positive and the possibility of the next year ahead.
A focus word for the year is a single word that encapsulates what you need more of, what you want to focus on, or what you need to improve on. It might be a theme or overarching focus for your year ahead – either way, it’s an exciting way to set your intention for the year ahead.
It provides an anchor and encourages you to consciously consider this focus word when making decisions – what you want more of and what you want less of in your life.
*Once you’ve chosen your word for the year, head to the EMPLOYEE FITNESS ROOM and hang up your word to inspire others!
