LIFESTYLE

PEP IN YOUR STEP Try out these podcasts on your next walk.

Over the last year, you’ve probably done your fair share of walking around the block. After all, during the pandemic, walking— alone, with family, with friends—became one of the best outlets for stress-free exercise, mental clarity, and a much-needed change of scenery.

Since walking the same loop over and over again may be getting old. That’s why you should consider listening to a fabulous podcast while you walk.

Here are a few podcasts for you to consider:

For surprising conversations: Armchair Expert

Dax Shepherd, actor, father, and husband spends most of his time on his weekly podcast, Armchair Expert, where he brings in scientists, celebrities, politicians, and more for super in-depth and thoughtful conversations.

Listen in, as they discuss the “messiness of being a human,’’ on your next walk.

For self-improvement: Happier

Gretchen Rubin is on a mission to make everyone just a tiny bit happier. As the author behind, The Happiness Project, Rubin is a tried-and-true happiness expert, who, along with her Happier podcast cohost, Elizabeth Craft, helps

teach people small but meaningful ways to find more happiness in their day-to-day routines.

For intimate, personal confessions: Death, Sex & Money

Get ready for some real talk. The Death, Sex & Money podcast, hosted

by Anna Sale, is for all those conversations you were told to never bring up at the dinner table.

From pandemic dating to the death penalty, sexual identity to addiction, this podcast is a onestop-shop for everything deliciously taboo—but perfectly packaged in tight, fascinating interviews— which makes it perfect for a solo walk with your headphones in.

THE POWER OF WORDS

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

George Bernard Shaw

Unknown

To communicate through silence is a link between the thoughts of man.

Marcel Marceau

Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people. Jim Rohn

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it. Evelyn Beatrice Hall

Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success.

Paul J. Meyer

Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication.

Someone isn’t listening.

Emma Thompson

Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you’ve got to say, and say it hot. D. H. Lawrence You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.

Joel Osteen

Communication is a skill that you can learn.

It’s like riding a bicycle or typing.

If you’re willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life.

Brian Tracy

The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t said.

Peter Drucker

NOTE

“Advocates for YOUR Home Improvement”

SERVING THE VALLEY SINCE 1974!

May is an incredibly busy month! With Mother’s Day, graduations, Memorial Day and summer vacation in the near future, I know many of us feel a bit stressed.

This issue of The Grand Season Family focuses on becoming a better communicator. I love this quote from George Bernard Shaw, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has happened.”

Improving your listening and communication skills is one of the best ways to make this month one full of great memories, rather than misunderstandings. I hope you will make time to work on being a better communicator with those in your life, and perhaps even change someone’s day by truly listening to their heart!

Thank you for your support of The Grand Season Family and our advertisers. It’s because of you, our local economy is on the rebound!

Enjoy every moment!

LOVE

SPEAK EASY Even the happiest couples need help communicating. When life gets busy and you feel stressed, you often lose sight of the person that you are married to. Though you love each other, sometimes you forget to talk. You may be mentally drained or just need some alone time, and it’s so easy to take each other for granted in those moments.

Talking to each other shouldn’t be a chore. It can be fun, it can be enjoyable, and you can get back to a time where the conversation was easy and seamless. Here are some communication tips that can help you connect again.

Build your communication skills

1. Respect one another.

This sounds like it should be a given, but far too many of us lose respect for one another along the way. It may be due to a significant reason, or just because you take each other for granted.

If you can make each other’s needs a priority, communication will be easier when you prioritize one another.

2. Send a love note.

How much does it make you smile when you get a love note from your spouse? Even if it’s been awhile, send a text to say you’re thinking about them. Leave them a love note in the morning, out of nowhere, and for no particular reason at all.

3. Say “I love you” every day.

One of the most helpful tips is to tell each other you love one another more often. Take the time to look your spouse in the eyes and say, “I love you.”

4. Talk about things that make you both happy.

If you love talking about current events or political views, then do it.

If it makes you both happy to talk about your jobs or the industry or the stock market, then go for it. There is no right or wrong here, just find some sort of common ground to ignite the conversations.

KIDS

LEAD BY EXAMPLE

Communicate with your kids effectively.

No matter how often your leadership skills are tested at work, you may feel as if your ability to communicate with your children is not great.

Even though you may not feel equipped, developing effective communication with your children is possible. These tips may help you get started:

Mind your facial gestures.

While verbal communication is incredibly important as it conveys a message to children, watching your facial gestures and making sure that they reflect what you really mean is one of the keys to effective communication with children.

Create routines that encourage interaction.

Children need structure in their lives. Make sure the routines you create for your kids encourages interaction and communication.

This not only provides them with the opportunity to practice their speaking and listening skills, but it also affords you some time to understand what is happening in their lives.

Ask questions and demand less.

There is no denying that many of us become bossy with our kids, and this is no way to bolster effective communication with children. In fact, it can cause them to become resentful and stop communicating with us altogether. Instead, ask open-ended questions when something needs to be done, so they can participate in the conversation.

Be a role model

When it comes to communication, your children will learn most of their skills from you in their first few years of life. If you are always grunting demands, yelling, sighing, avoiding difficult subjects or failing to look your child in the eyes when you speak to them, they will pick up on these habits.

LOVE

your

OUTDOORS!

Say “I’m Sorry.”

Saying “I’m sorry,” is difficult for many people, even when they do feel remorseful. If you find yourself upset over something, and you snap at your child over an innocent question, always take the time to say you’re sorry.

This teaches your child that everyone makes mistakes and reminds them that apologies are important.

Remember, it is never too late to change our habits and begin encouraging good communication skills not only for our kids, but also for ourselves.

Ask open-ended questions YOU

ARE YOU LISTENING? Improve your listening skills

You may believe you listen to other people when they’re talking—but do you really?

Are you engaged in the conversation, or are you multitasking as you scroll through Instagram? Do you allow yourself to digest what they’re saying, or are you mentally preparing your response? Being a good listener is a skill that requires practice. Want to be a better listener? Start by working on these tips:

If you’ve ever tried to chat with someone who gave you one-word answers (your teenager), you understand the frustration of not being able to keep a conversation going.

Part of learning how to listen is using what you hear to then explore new ways of asking the same questions. When trying to navigate a problem—from a missed work deadline to a sink full of dirty dishes—asking open-ended questions can help someone feel heard.

Focus on compassion

When you seek to listen, make a conscious effort to be empathetic toward another person. Maybe it’s understanding why your partner feels neglected at work and is taking it out on you. Whatever the case, it’s essential to consider every conversation to be an act of compassion.

Make time for 1:1 conversations

While some people thrive in group situations, others turn into wallflowers who pull away. As a manager at work, or the ringleader of your household, scheduling 1:1 time with each colleague or family member will improve your listening abilities. This dedicated ‘meeting’ is a time where you can understand how each individual communicates.

Give your undivided attention.

When someone is talking to you, it’s time to clear the decks. This means, you’re only listening to them—either looking at them or zeroing in on their voice while chatting on the phone. Maybe you need to step away from your computer, put down your phone or turn off the TV. In short, you need to be fully present, so you can digest what they’re saying.

If you’re reattaching a button to shorts or pants, try using dental floss, the unwaxed kind. It’s much stronger, and can hold the button better than regular thread. Use a marker to darken it if the color is an issue.

Trying to spot roof damage but not quite sure you’re ready for a trip up the ladder? Before you get up on the roof, get out your binoculars. You’d be surprised how much you can see from the ground, and you can do a cursory examination and then decide if anything needs a closer look.

Upcycle an unused bread box as a charging station. Simply mount a power strip in the back of the box on the inside, and you can put phones and other small devices directly inside to charge. Run a cord through the side so that larger tablets can sit on top of the box to charge.

Use lip balm to help a tootight ring slide off of a finger.

Using cold water for laundering protects colors and uses less energy.

Store brooms either handle down or on a hook that allows the bristles to suspend over the floor. When brooms rest their bristles on the floor, it bends them and breaks the ends. Broken ends make it hard for the broom to work efficiently. www.grandseasonfamily.com

Being a good listener is the key. Don’t go in with the sole objective to just speak. As the conversation goes on, listen and respond, incorporating your points into the response.

People are more willing to listen if they believe they’re being listened to.

2. Pick the right time to speak.

The best way to ensure your voice is heard in a group is to pick your spots, meaning find a gap within the conversation to speak, no matter how many people are involved. By selecting the most opportune time to speak, you can ensure that you have the attention of the group and can get your entire message across without being interrupted.

3. Keep your responses succinct.

Keep it simple when responding in groups. This shows you have respect for others’ time. A long, drawnout answer to a question is not only inconsiderate, but you lose their interest in what you have to say. Short, snappy answers that get to the heart of the issue will help get your point across and be remembered in the process.

4. Don’t be the person who needs to comment on everything.

You’ll be respected more in a group if you have a reputation for kicking in only when you have something important to say.

5. Smile.

Be positive. If you smile and nod along as other people speak, they will be positive about opening up and letting you speak as well. If they see that you aren’t listening to them, but instead, impatiently waiting for your turn to speak, they won’t pay you any respect.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer

About Us

“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.”
