    These challenges serve as helpful reminders on ways to be less destructive to the environment throughout the workday and beyond. I also like that we're able to check in for prior days when the day gets too busy.

    I noticed Allina's extra efforts over the past 5 years to help mitigate negative environmental impacts in our buildings, teams, and in the OR. I recognized resources from our annual trainings on this page regarding our recycling policies and I saw the goals heading toward 2050 and the teams assembled to help steer those efforts.

    I took a minute to look for the closest fire extinguisher to me. I'm glad one of our safety people put this on my list. It's good to get a reminder!

    I am pleased that I found several new ways to reduce my own consumer footprint that can also connect me with people! I like getting food at the local co-op, but it will be much more fun to grow food in the community garden plot with neighbors. Finding secondhand goods on the internet reduces waste, but I can take a friend out to community garage sales. Online learning is great, but in person Community Ed and Fix It Clinics are opportunities to meet new friends.

    What is resilience?
    What story did you share, and how did it feel to share it? Did telling or hearing resilience stories shift how you think about strength and adaptability?
