NOTE

Summer’s officially over! School has started, and it’s time to navigate new bedtimes, friends, opportunities and expectations. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been a little bit anxious as both my boys are starting at new schools. My youngest will be starting his sophomore year, while my oldest is heading off to college and dorm life. I pray daily that students will be nice to them, and they will make great new friends.

I’ve realized, however, my worrying gets me nowhere. I recently came across this quote from Saint Francis de Sales: Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.

It’s amazing how a few simple words can change your approach and attitude. While my to-do list is ever growing, I’m not stressing about checking things off. I’m moving through each item with a

calm spirit (at least trying). This month’s issue of The Grand Season Family is focused on destressing and finding your calm.

As your juggle your responsibilities this month, I hope the content in this issue will provide you with tools to help you experience calm, even on the busiest days!

Thank you for your support of The Grand Season Family and the advertisers who make our publication possible. If you’re looking for a way to streamline your family dinners, I encourage you to check out Fixin’ to Eat. I was able to stock my freezer with great meals, so I know my boys will have at least one healthy meal each day in the coming month.

Enjoy the journey, Melissa McCullough Associate Publisher

SCHOOL

SMOOTH SAILING

Make the transition to school easier

Starting school can be a difficult time for children. Every child is hesitant to go somewhere new and see people she’s never met before. Here are some helpful ways to prepare your child for her first days of school:

1.

2.

Let your child know what his schedule will be like. Tell him what time school begins and ends each day.

Ask your child about her feelings—both the excitement and the concern—about starting school.

3.

Visit the school with your child to see his new classroom and meet his new teacher before school officially starts.

4.

Point out the positive aspects of starting school. It will be fun and she can make new friends.

5.

6.

7.

Let your child know that all kids are nervous about the first day of school.

Leave a note in your child’s lunchbox that will remind him you’re thinking of him while he’s at school.

Reassure your child that if any problems arise at school, you will be there to help resolve them.

8.

9.

Try to have your child meet a classmate before the first day of school so she will already have a friend when school starts.

Arrange for your child to walk to school or ride together on the bus with another kid in the neighborhood.

KEEP CALM &

Relax; calm down. No matter how hard the waves are, you will float on the ocean.

– Kubra Sait

A fighter, a real strong fighter, should always look dignified and calm, and I believe that any expression of aggression is an expression of weakness. A strong person will not be nervous and will not express aggression towards his opponent. He will be confident in his abilities and his training; then he will face the fight calm and balanced.

You have to be strong and calm to overcome difficult moments.

Sometimes I wish that I could go into a time machine right now and just look at myself and say, ‘Calm down. Things are gonna be fine. Things are gonna be all great. Just relax.’

The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.

CARRY ON ‘What if?’ statements throw fuel on the fire of stress and worry. Things can go in a million different directions, and the more time you spend worrying about the possibilities, the less time you’ll spend focusing on taking action that will calm you down and keep your stress under control.

Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength.

Life goes by fast. Enjoy it. Calm down.

It’s all funny. Next. Everyone gets so upset about the wrong things.

– Joan Rivers

He who is of calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden.

– Plato

The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness. But if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions.

– Kelsang Gyatso

Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought.

– Thucydides Right now, I am trying to be in a place of calm, a place where I can chill out and then handle the chaos of life better. You don’t just get it overnight; you have to work at it. It’s a daily struggle.

– Jackee Harry

When adversity strikes, that’s when you have to be the most calm. Take a step back, stay strong, stay grounded and press on. – LL Cool J For Advertising Information Call (623) 594-1630

LOVE

CHECK MATE

Don’t let stress sabotage your relationship “Stress impacts our love relationships more than we are aware of or acknowledge,” according to Judy Ford, L.C.S.W. “Stress has become such a normal part of daily life that partners become immune to the symptoms and warning signs,” she says.

Ignoring stress only ignites it. “Even when a couple tries to ignore stress, like static in the air, it is felt and absorbed.”

If partners do talk about being stressed, they may not know what to do about it, Ford added.

Also, “stress is contagious.” Ford compared stress to a game of ping-pong, where the tension “bounces back and forth between partners.”

Partners become both unable to relax and enjoy each other, she said. Stress “shows up in our actions, our behavior, and in both verbal and non-verbal communications,” so it’s bound to not only affect both partners but also their relationship.

10

The Grand Season family

Ford shares the following advice for protecting your relationship from stress.

1. Recognize stress symptoms Couples often become so accustomed to unchecked stress that they barely recognize it. So how do you know when your partner (or you) is stressed?

Look for these signs: one or both partners are snappy, cranky, withdrawn, moody, pouty, teary, ornery, angry, restless, hyper, agitated, overly August 2019

excited. Or, one or both partners are selfmedicating with drugs, alcohol, food, etc.

2. Listen Learn how to listen.

We all want the person we love to listen and understand what we’re going through.

Unfortunately, listening is a skill few people actually do well, so make an effort to learn how to become an active listener.

3. Comfort Many partners forget to console their significant other and instead try to problem

solve. But, as Ford said, “Comfort each other first, problem solve second.” That’s because your partner might be looking for stress relief rather than a nitty-gritty brainstorming session.

Just hugging and gently touching your partner can provide that relief.

4. Ask your partner what you can do.

An important way of supporting your loved one is to ask them flatout how you can help.

According to Ford, you might say: “Is there

KIDS

SUPERGLUE Connection is the glue of great relationships.

We all crave those close moments with our children that make our hearts melt.

Connection is as essential to us parents as it is to our children, because that’s what makes parenting worth all the sacrifices. That connection is also the reason children willingly follow our rules. Kids who feel strongly connected to their parents want to cooperate, if they can.

1. Aim for 12 hugs (or physical connections) every day

2. Play

Laughter and roughhousing keep you connected with your child by stimulating endorphins and oxytocin in both of you. Making laughter a daily habit also gives your child a chance to laugh out the anxieties and upsets that otherwise make him feel disconnected—and more likely to act out. And play helps kids want to cooperate.

Family therapist Virginia Satir once said, “We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.” Snuggle your child first thing in the morning for a few minutes, and last thing at night. Hug when you say goodbye, when you’re re-united, and often in between.

Due to the demands of life, the only way to keep a strong bond with our children is to practice daily habits of connection. Here are five habits that don’t add time to your day, but will build connection with your child.

You may find that using them daily will change everything.

4. Connect before transitions

Kids have a hard time transitioning from one thing to another. They need us to “co-regulate” them through those moments when they really don’t want to give up what they’re doing to move onto something we want them to do. If you look him in the eye, use his name, connect with him, and then get him giggling, you’ll give him a bridge to manage himself through a tough 3. Turn off technology transition.

Ways to stay calm in the midst of chaos

Being calm isn’t always

easy, especially when chaos erupts around you.

You have to cultivate a practice of being calm— and consistency is the key here. More important than the length of time that you practice, is doing it consistently every day.

Three minutes every day will bring you the results you want quicker than one hour of practice once a week. Here are some tips to help you stay calm:

1. Make a decision to create calm in your life—

even when life gets chaotic.

This decision is powerful in helping you maintain your daily practice. Know that this is possible to achieve, even if it seems impossible when you start. Keep going and the results will come.

Don’t give up. If you forget one day, start again the next day.

3. Take time for yourself— every day. To stay sane, you 2.

1. Store frozen vegetables. They have more nutrients, don’t require any washing or chopping, and you won’t have to throw them out at the end of the week because you didn’t use them.

MADE IN PHOENIX

3. Toss raw or frozen chicken breasts into the slow cooker with a splash of broth, water or even beer. Cook, shred and let cool. Portion and freeze for a simple way to whip up some enchiladas, burrito bowls, tacos, etc.

4. Making a lasagna, baked ziti or other casserole-style dish? Make two. Use plastic wrap to cover the extra one and freeze for later thaw-and-cook bliss.

If you’re looking for even more convenience, check out a meal-prep kitchen in your area or look into one of the many mail order food kits.

Either way you go, eating at home is easier than ever and is still the best option for your family’s nutrition and well-being!

YOU

LET IT GO! Ways to tackle stress

Stress is a normal part of life, but sometimes it can be overwhelming.

When you feel like you’re in the middle of a hurricane, take a moment to practice these ideas.

Just breathe

Your body already has a built-in stress fighter: Your mind and your lungs.

Focus on breathing slowly. Feel each breath. Try “grounding” yourself by taking stock of your surroundings and engaging your five senses. Tell yourself, “I feel my feet are planted on the ground,” “I hear the television is on in the background” or whatever else you’re noticing about the present moment. This may help ease your stress.

Go for a walk outside

Exercise. . . even if it’s just walking—can affect your mental health in profound ways. But you may be missing out on a few added perks by keeping your workout indoors. Research shows taking a walk in nature can alleviate depressive symptoms and significantly increase your mood.

There’s something to be said for a little sunshine with your stroll.

Try new experiences

Forget retail therapy. . . try adventure therapy. Studies show that spending money on experiences over material items will bring greater joy.

Keep a gratitude journal

Or any journal, for that matter. Research suggests writing down negative thoughts can help clear your mind and jotting the things you appreciate can help improve your mental well-being.

Give therapy a shot

There’s nothing wrong with seeking mental health support. Experts agree that talk therapy is incredibly beneficial to sorting through and managing any negative emotions or behavioral health issues. If you’re feeling weary of talking to someone face to face, online services can also be a way for you to sort out what’s going on with your psychological well-being.

Take a media break

Research shows that constant exposure to negative news can have a detrimental impact on mental health. If the cycle is weighing down on you, try unplugging or cutting back your media consumption for a period of time.

Go to bed an hour earlier

Sleep is a magical elixir when it comes to mental health. Research shows that losing Zs can make it difficult to regulate emotions and make you more irritable. Not to mention too little rest can lead to physical health setbacks.

Here are some ideas recommended by Johns Hopkins for handling your anger in healthy ways.

HEALTH

CALM, COOL & COLLECTED Stay calm for your heart’s sake Don’t get mad—stay healthy. People who feel angry often, and fail to deal with their anger, are more likely to have heart problems, including a heart attack, according to research from Johns Hopkins and other leading health institutions.

The incidence of heart attack was almost five times higher in the two hours after an angry outburst, and the risk of stroke increased threefold, found one 2014 study in European Heart Journal. The study showed that the more intense or frequent the blowups, the higher one’s heart risks.

What’s the connection? Anger results in the increased production of stress hormones called catecholamines. These hormones increase blood pressure and play a role in the development of artery-clogging plaque, which over the course of many years can lead to coronary artery disease.

Step back

Taking a brief time-out from a situation that makes you mad can help you think through it more logically. Count to 10 or walk away. This simple step can help you break a habit of hair-trigger reactions.

Aim for assertive, not aggressive

You can stand up for yourself and make your feelings known without shouting, pointing fingers, making threats and shaking your fist.

Reduce your risks

If you’re prone to anger, it’s a good idea to work on controlling broad risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol.

Talk to your doctor

In addition to managing the heart risk factors you’re capable of controlling, such as high cholesterol, if you have a history of heart disease and trouble managing anger, there’s some evidence that beta-blockers may reduce your risk of heart attack. Your doctor may also be able to point you toward anger-management classes or therapy to help you learn other constructive ways to react.

“But the harmful effects of anger can also occur quickly,” says Johns Hopkins expert Ilan Wittstein, M.D. “A sudden surge of catecholamines during fits of anger can cause heart attacks, lethal heart rhythms and rapid weakening of the heart muscle itself, a condition known as stress cardiomyopathy or broken heart syndrome that occurs primarily in women.”

FITNESS

SWEAT IT OUT

Find ways to naturally reduce stress

Stress is a normal part of life – but that doesn’t mean you should just deal with it!

Exercise is one of the most beneficial ways to reduce stress naturally.

This fitness system is designed to strengthen muscles, improve posture and flexibility, and heighten mental awareness. Pilates is known to help relieve both stress and anxiety symptoms.

Gardening

Get your hands dirty!

Gardening isn’t just a hobby– it’s a workout. A recent study shows that gardening leads to a positive mood and promotes relief from stress.

Kickboxing

This workout burns calories like crazy and helps maintain a high metabolism.

Kickboxing is a blend of martial arts and boxing, and can be practiced for general fitness, self-defense, or sport.

It reduces stress by teaching proper breathing techniques, building confidence, and giving you an instant energy boost.

Dancing

Dancing is as fun as it is stress-relieving. Dancing provides an outlet for selfexpression and creativity. It helps build confidence, and the ability to express yourself in a safe environment is great for a healthy mindset.

While any exercise will naturally reduce stress, here are several activities that will create an instant feeling of calmness and wellbeing. Try out one of these exercises the next time you need an instant pickme-up:

The Grand Season family

This popular mind-body practice brings together physical and mental disciplines to help you relax while increasing physical strength and flexibility.

It combines poses with controlled breathing and mindfulness.

Pilates

Why? Physical activity reduces cortisol levels (your body’s stress hormone).

Getting active and breaking a sweat causes your body to produce endorphins, which help your body and mind relax.

You can expect better sleep, a clear mind, and an improved mood thanks to a stressrelieving workout session.

22

Yoga

Remember that any type of physical activity that increases your heart rate is sure to reduce stress! Try out some of these exercises when you are craving an instant rush of tranquility and calmness.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.”
