Hello Everyone!
National Nutrition Month is March and we will be celebrating at GCU all month.
We had the nutritional information out in the A&S building before spring break, and we will start our first event tomorrow.
At 12pm in the Little Theater, we will be showing “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.” You are welcome to bring a bagged lunch and eat your lunch while you enjoy the movie.
Check out the trailer…
It is a phenomenal movie that will really change the way your think about food.
Do your struggle with your weight?
Do you or someone you know who struggles with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or other autoimmune diseases?
Do you want to know what juicing is?
Do you want to not be tired all the time?
Then come out and watch “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead,” at 12pm in the Little Theater, Tuesday, March 13th!
Be sure to also check out our relaxation workshop in the Casino Ballroom at 5pm.
Check back at the blog for more events to be posted for National Nutrition Month as well!

STRESS… is our bodies’ way of protecting us and getting us ready for whatever we perceive to be a threat. Having an awareness of the physical and mental responses to a stress inducing event will put you in control leaving you focused to manage your life.

Come out to listen to GCU’s Master’s of Holistic Health student Eve Sicurella and Suzanne McMurray speak and teach ways to cope with stress. This will be more than a lecture with tips and exercises to have you leaving feeling more relaxed.

Monday, Feb.27th is a special day at Georgian Court University. We are so lucky to have a very special guest, author and activist Carol J. Adams for a discussion on how sexism and animal cruelty go hand in hand. As young women, it is important to see the connections between our lives and the lives of others, and how we are part of a bigger picture. So clear your schedule and make sure you come out to this special event, this Monday at 6:30 in the Little Theater.
There may be people that have more talent than you, but there’s no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do. -Derek Jeter

Here is the video that I found last night that I really needed to see at that moment. Although, it pertains to business, but I think it is so perfect for college students as well. This video talks about those days where you just don’t want to deal with anything, you really just want to stay in your bed. You don’t want to write a paper, you don’t want to do any research, you don’t want to answer any emails, and you just need some time to yourself. The videos message was to do it, granted I am not saying miss out on class or required events, but if we run ourselves into a burn out we need one of those nothing day. Sunday was totally that day for me.
The most important part of this video was the NNT part. NNT stands for Non Negotiable Time. Non-negotiable time is things you MUST do every day, eating or brushing your teeth for example. What Marie’s is asking people to do is to find small simple tasks that make your life better and add it to NNT. You can do it monthly, weekly, daily, whenever you want. The important thing is that these NNT‘s bring nourishment, refreshment, and happiness to your life. Some of the NNT’s I was reading include drinking green drinks every morning, doing ten minutes of yoga, going for a walk, taking two minutes for deep breathing.
I am currently trying to think of my own NNT list because I know I need to get some balance back into my life.
Try thinking of yours and if you would like to share it in the comment section.
Get down with your own NNT!
