Hello, Friends!

Wow! July! Already? Can you believe that?

It feels like just yesterday we were all complaining about the cold brutal winter and now we are over this heat wave (or at least I am)!

I know it can be easy to get caught up in the long hot days and the desire to complete your summer bucket list. But, it’s so important that you don’t forget to take a second and just breathe.

In fact, let’s do it together, right now. 

I want you to take a deep five-second breath, breathe in through your nose and release your breath through your mouth. As you release, let go of all the things that make you tense and stressed.

Inhale

1….2…..3….4…..5….

Exhale

1….2…..3….4…..5….

See? Not so bad, was it? In fact, you’re probably surprised at how good you feel after doing something SO simple!

Doing something to calm your mind and to reflect is so important in our fast-paced lives. Time is so important and in order to fully appreciate your time you have to remember to appreciate yourself and all that surrounds you.

This is why we at Absolutely Clean like to take the time every month to do one of our favorite activities, Flower Power. Flower Power is our way to take a step back and appreciate all that we do for each other.

At the end of the month, each employee anonymously turns in a piece of paper with the name of a co-worker written on it.

The co-workers that are chosen are seen as those that exemplify these important things:

They are leaders and model mentors. They are someone who makes everyone FEEL like they are number one and so much more.

These employees not only exemplify the things above but also always have a smile on their face, are always excited to continue growing and learning and most importantly, represent our company values.

It is because of them that Absolutely Clean truly blooms.

They truly walk the talk.

Once an employee is chosen, we take about 30 minutes before the start of a day and all get into a circle. The chosen employee is given an empty vase and each and every co-worker takes their turn to pick a flower and tell them what they love about them, why they are thankful for them and more.

These mornings often end in hugs, happy tears, laughter and helps to create the strong bond we share at Absolutely Clean.

Now that you know what Flower Power means to us, we at Absolutely Clean have a challenge for you!

Grab a flower from the garden or maybe a bouquet from the store and gift it to someone who has helped you or made you feel important!

It may feel awkward at first but this simple act will be sure to make not only their whole day but their whole week!
