March Feature: “Developing Effective Decision-Making Skills”
It’s not easy making decisions, especially when those decisions impact your personal life and the lives of those you interact with on a daily basis. That kind of responsibility can often cause you to avoid the issue and postpone making any decision at all. When this happens, it can create openings for the other elements of your life – family, friends, coworkers, and major events or issues – to make decisions for you.
Do you want to hand over control of your life to random events or people who may not have your best interests in mind? It’s time you put your life back into focus by following these tips and learning how to become a smarter decision maker.

National Nutrition Month
March is National Nutrition Month and during this month we encourage everyone to learn more about making informed food choices and developing healthy eating habits and a healthy lifestyle.
Reasons National Nutrition Month is Important:
- Awareness and Education: It raises awareness about the importance of nutrition and educates the public on how to make healthier food choices. This can lead to improved overall health and wellbeing.
- Prevention of Chronic Diseases: Proper nutrition is crucial in preventing chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. National Nutrition Month encourages individuals to adopt healthier eating patterns that may reduce the risk of these conditions.
- Promotes Balanced Diets: The initiative highlights the importance of a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrients necessary for maintaining good health.
- Encourages Physical Activity: Alongside nutrition, this month also promotes the importance of regular physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle.
- Supports Mental Health: Good nutrition is linked to better mental health outcomes.
- Community Engagement: It provides an opportunity for communities, schools, and organizations to engage in activities and events that promote nutrition and healthy living.
