Get Off to a Great Start with Ola Ala

With the launching of Ola Ala July 19th, employees all over Colorado Visiting Nurse Association are on their way to better well-being. (If you haven’t registered yet contact Aubri at TharpA@VNAColorado.org.)

Get off to a great start with these tips:

• Hold weekly meetings to recognize accomplishments and discuss your Ola Ala strategies as well as how you can make more progress along the trail.

• Search Recipes for delicious new dishes that will help you eat more fruits and vegetables.

• Go for a walk or bike ride after dinner, enjoy a weekend swim, or invite coworkers to join you for a Saturday hike.

• Learn about new activities to try, like geocaching, kayaking, or hula dancing.

• Start or join a team like our medical records department did, U ‘i pinao, which is Hawaiian for Beautiful Dragonfly. Challenge other participants to see who can stay ahead on the team leader board.

• Rally your coworkers. Invite others to join you for a lunchtime walk or festive Hawaiian shirt contest.
