EDITOR

It’s finally here – October, the time for cooler weather, planting gardens, kids playing outside, costumes, candy and continued opportunities to live and enjoy every moment of life we have here in Arizona.

I have to admit, October is one of my favorite months because it’s an opportunity to embrace change—starting with the change in seasons. This allows us to also embrace a new attitude towards life. (Have you noticed how people are finally smiling when they’re outside?)

For the last several years, October has marked the beginning of some new adventures in my own life; I’ve gained new friends and experiences, wrestled with loss and grief, all of which led me to grow in ways I could not have imagined.

The theme of this month’s issue of The Grand Season Family is grit. For me, grit represents the ability to move forward when, frankly, you’re

at a loss on how to take that next step forward.

I’m convinced that each of us has experienced a moment in life when moving forward seems impossible. This month’s magazine is full of articles on how to cultivate mental toughness—the one thing that makes grit possible, and makes that next step a reality.

Thank you for your support of The Grand Season Family. If you are a company owner or know a business that would be a great fit for our magazine, please contact me at melissa@ thegrandseason.com.

Enjoy your journey!

Melissa McCullough

INSPIRE

On April 23, 1910, Theodore Roosevelt said the following words, which are as relevant now as they ever were then:

DARE GREATLY Get into the arena!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Put one foot in front of the other Sometimes life doesn’t go as planned. Other times it’s necessary to muster all of your strength to just take one more step. In these moments, it’s easy to believe karma isn’t on your side.

YOU

GRIT

Life is an amazing journey filled with plenty of ups and downs! Just when you think you can’t move forward, you realize you have made it through the storm. Then, you realize the last storm has given you the strength you need for the next season of life. Next time you need encouragment, think about this quote, “Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path.”

Cultivate mental toughness

As you face difficulties, experts say these skills will help you thrive:

1. Resilience in the face of adversity

4. Commitment

2. Emotional intelligence

5. A realistic perspective on failure

Resilience in an integral part of mental toughness. Resilience or grit, is the ability to keep moving forward in spite of challenges, rejection, setbacks, obstacles, and disappointments. It’s the ability to never give up, no matter what.

Many experts now believe that a person’s emotional intelligence quotient (EQ) may be more important than their IQ, and plays a larger role in the achievement of success, the quality of relationships, and overall happiness. EQ is the ability to understand our own and the emotions and reactions of others. Without this ability, you’re lost before you’ve started.

3. Focus

It’s possible to develop your mental toughness by keeping your attention on your long-term goals and not getting side-tracked by temporary setbacks. An unwavering focus helps you to keep perspective in the face of sudden setbacks.

Don’t let short-term profits, negative feedback, or a hectic schedule prevent you from taking the next step towards your goal.

10

The Grand Season family

October 2018

Mentally tough people are more consistent than others. They don’t miss deadlines, appointments or meetings. Part of mental toughness is a commitment to always show up, to always deliver and to not get side-tracked, to always finish what’s been started.

Knowing how to handle failure is an important aspect of being mentally strong. Michael Jordan said: “In my career I’ve missed over 9,000 shots, lost almost 300 games, 26 times I’ve been trusted to make the gamewinning shot and I missed. I failed over and over again in my life and that’s why I succeed – I can accept failure.”

6. An optimistic mind-set

People who are mentally tough tend to be optimistic because they have confidence in their ability and they believe in their vision. It’s also an optimistic attitude that sees one through tough times and challenges.

It is the hope created by a positive mind-set that keeps many people going long after others have given up.

KIDS

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER Raise mentally strong kids

Developing mental strength is an important skill all kids need to learn in order to thrive in adulthood.

Unfortunately, building mental strength is a skill that can only be learned by living life.

As you spend time with your child, talk about strategies to become mentally stronger and make a conscious effort to turn mistakes and problems into teachable moments.

You may be thinking, “How do I teach my kids how to be mentally strong?” The following tips are a great start.

1. Make it a family priority to take care of your mind.

Most parents talk to kids about the importance of caring for their bodies. But few parents talk about the importance of caring for their minds. Teach your kids about the benefits of meditation or prayer.

2. Talk about feelings.

Studies show 60 percent of college students say they were prepared academically but not emotionally for college. The vast majority of these young adults say they wished their parents had invested more time in teaching them how to deal with uncomfortable feelings.

Incorporate feeling words into your conversations.

Help your children identify how they’re feeling. Talk about how those emotions can affect

their decisions and teach them to manage their emotions in a healthy way.

3. Teach your child to think realistically.

When your child expresses selfdoubt, excessive self-blame, catastrophic predictions, or exaggerated negative thoughts, teach him how to think differently.

Show him how to recognize unhelpful thoughts and reframe them in a more realistic way.

4. Role model how to take positive action.

Kids need to know that they can behave contrary to their feelings. In fact, their behavior can change their feelings.

If your child has had a bad day at school, she can choose to do something when she gets home that will help her feel better.

5. Actively engage in problem-solving.

It can be tempting to swoop in and solve kids’ problems for them. But they need opportunities to practice building problemsolving skills. Resist the urge to bail your child out when he encounters a problem. Instead, encourage him to develop his own solution. Let him make mistakes sometimes. Natural consequences can be some of life’s greatest teachers.

LOVE

RESILENCY Let your love grow stronger

By Harvey Powers, Ph.D. Does what doesn’t kill you; make you stronger?

Now that’s an interesting question in the context of relationships, don’t you think?

Of course, we all have received and given relational insults causing pain, mostly unintentionally. Ernest Hemmingway’s quote from Farewell to Arms that our opening question is based on reads: “The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.” Interestingly, in context, Hemmingway’s point is that if we do not allow ourselves to bend enough to be broken, life will kill us. Here are some thoughts applying this wisdom to relationships.

Rigidity in relationships Choose to become bitter can be deadly. or better?

We all know trying to force change in our partner will not work. Forcing results in an immovable object meeting an irresistible force. Shifting must be voluntary.

Try these tips instead: • Consider developing the art of bending or compromise.

• Choose regularly to spontaneously give a little rather than stand your ground.

• Soften your heart, because hardened hearts shatter.

The choice is always there. When we let hurt metastasize into bitterness it creates relational toxicity.

Someone once said, “Bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die.”

Use these strategies instead: • Don’t deny relational hurts, but don’t wallow in them.

• Keep short accounts and forgive easily.

• Ask yourself: What do “I” need to learn from this?

For Advertising Information Call (623) 594-1630

Attitude matters.

We all create a narrative in our head about relational wounds. It’s the story we tell ourselves.

These stories construct a mindset or vibe we put out. Attitudes also become filters limiting what we see.

Try the following: • Eavesdrop on your internal narrative about your partner. Ask, “What’s an alternate and generous story I can tell myself about my partner?”

• Cultivate the attitude of looking for the best in your partner, not the worst.

• Surround yourself with those who tell stories about the “best” in their spouses.

Remember, a great marriage doesn’t happen when the “perfect couple” gets together. It happens when an imperfect couple gets together and learns to enjoy each other’s differences.

HOME

FALL FIXES Invest now and save later

October is the perfect time to get to those home maintenance items you keep shuffling to the side. The good news is most can be done yourself in a minimal amount of time. Doing the small things on this list will increase the efficiency of your home while keeping your energy costs down!

CHANGE YOUR FILTERS Jump on a ladder and get those fresh air filters in! Don’t forget the one most often missed—the furnace filter (which is usually at the bottom of the unit). Changing it or cleaning it will make the furnace work on a far more efficient level when the weather cools off.

CHECK WEATHER STRIPPING Can you see a lot of light under that door? Chances are you need new weather stripping to seal it up again. You can buy weather stripping at any home improvement store. Just follow the directions for installation.

For Advertising Information Call (623) 594-1630

CHANGE BATTERIES This is the perfect time to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

CLEAN DRYER VENTS This is important because a clogged dryer vent can cause fires. Simply remove the silver venting attached to the dryer and vacuum out the vent.

CLEAN CEILING FAN BLADES When you climb up to reverse the fan’s direction for the winter, clean those fan blades. It’s amazing how much dust they collect!

CLEAN GUTTERS If your house has gutters, pull out your ladder and clean them out.

After the monsoon storms this summer, they are most likely filled with debris. This will keep them clear for the winter storm season.

CALL A PROFESSIONAL While cleaning gutters do a visual check of your roof. If you see missing tiles or vents call a professional roofer to inspect and fix them.

Also, call the pros for maintenance checks on your heating system, as well. Those checks are best executed when the temperatures are between 60-70 degrees.

Performing routine home maintenance will help you avoid expensive fixes, and keep your home in tip top shape. For a complete list of home maintenance items visit: www.phoenix.gov/nsdsite/ Documents/Home%20Maintenance%20Guide.pdf Courtney Cavanaugh Greger is a home improvement expert in Northwest Phoenix.

For Advertising Information Call (623) 594-1630

Instructions 1. Unwrap rice krispie treats and set aside. Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on half power for 2 minutes. Stir and return to microwave for 20 seconds at a time (still on half power) stirring after each until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

2. Dip rice krispie treats in the chocolate being sure to coat the front and sides (the back side can remain uncovered). Place uncovered-sidedown on a foil-lined plate or small baking sheet.

3. Repeat process with remaining rice krispie treats. Transfer plate/baking sheet to fridge or freezer to cool for 2-3 minutes.

4. While treats are cooling, spoon melted white chocolate into a small zip lock bag. Remove treats from fridge/freezer. Use scissors to snip off a tiny bit of one bottom corner of the chocolate-filled bag, then drizzle chocolate in a random pattern over the treats to create the look of mummy wrapping. Return treats to fridge or freezer for 1-2 minutes.

5. Pipe two dots onto each rice krispie treat to create mummy eyes.

(Optional step, dip a Q-tip in red food coloring and dap two dots onto the rice krispie treats before adding the eyes to create a creepy “bloodshot” look.) Serve or store in airtight container up to 1 week.

GIVE

HOPE

Spread hope in your life

With seemingly constant negative news reports telling of school shootings, suicides and more, you may feel like there is little to feel hopeful about these days. Experts say that having hope can be a powerful tool in both good times and bad.

“Whether you’ve lost a job, a loved one, or you’re experiencing general feelings of despair, hope can give you strength and renew your potential and purpose,” says Dr. Rosalind Tompkins, founder of the National Month of Hope. “Finding hope in everyday challenges is the first step to creating a solution.”

Dr. Tompkins, a recognized life coach, offers the following advice.

Take a hope break

Schedule five minute “hope breaks” into your normal routine. Find a quiet place, take five to 10 deep breaths and think about good things happening, instead of the worst-case scenario. Make an affirmation and speak it out loud. Repeat as often as needed.

Take action

Set goals and move forward, focusing on results. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and your progress.

Volunteer

Spread hope to your community by giving time, food and money to those in need.

Whether you clean up a local park, read to children in schools or volunteer in a food pantry, you’ll be spreading hope to those who need it.

Have a chat

Is there someone in your life who needs hope?

Prepare yourself for a conversation with that person by turning on your own belief that things can get better. Start the conversation with something like, “I care about you and wanted to check in with you to see how things are going.” Ask them to share what they are going through and be prepared to listen. Let them know that you are there for them and reinforce feelings of hope.

Get involved

In the spirit of spreading positivity, Dr. Tompkins has a goal of seeing 10,000 “Hope Connections” take place throughout 2018. After talking about hope with a loved one, you can share your story by joining the conversation online using #HopeChallenge.

MONEY

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER What do your kids know about money?

With consumer debt on the rise and many failing to adequately save for the future, experts say that financial illiteracy is a major problem for Americans—and one that communities and parents have a joint responsibility to address, starting in childhood.

Over 62 percent of the 15- to 18-year-olds tested received either a “D” or “F” on the 2017 National Financial Literacy Test. Without intervention, these young people could grow up without the skills needed to manage credit cards, loan debt or savings goals.

As a parent, you’ve likely already instilled in your children the importance of good grades and healthy decisions, but if you aren’t also discussing concepts like overall saving, budgeting and the importance of having an emergency fund, now is the time to start. Children are never too young to learn skills needed for a secure financial future. To get started, consider these tips:

• Teach young children money basics by playing “store” at home. Take turns being the customer and the cashier. Play board games involving money exchanges to practice addition and subtraction.

• Give children an allowance and help them create a budget. Stress the difference between needs vs. wants to help them make smart decisions when it comes time to shop for clothes, school supplies, toys and more.

• Encourage teenagers to get part-time jobs, then help them make smart decisions about how to allocate their income, whether that’s saving for big-ticket items, putting money away for college or donating to charity.

• Review free, online financial education materials together that are geared for school-age children, such as those found at PurchasingPower.com and JuniorAchievement.org.

Children are never too young to learn how to spend responsibly and save for the future. Get started now in your household.

DATE NIGHT

FLIP A COIN

Take date night to a new level

The Penny Date

Whether it’s your first date or your 400th, here’s a fun, new, unique way of figuring out where to go!

1. Grab a penny.

2. Get dressed up to go out.

3. Let your date choose a number between 10 and 20. (This will be the number of times you flip the coin.)

4. Head out on your road and begin. If the penny lands on heads turn right. If the penny lands on tails turn left.

5. Every time you come to a junction (intersection), flip the penny and turn in that direction.

6. Once you get to that number…. STOP. Look around and make a date where you are at.

If you want to plan some other great nights, check out these ideas: • Go to a flea market and choose the most meaningful, but least expensive gift you can find for each other.

• Get dressed up and go to a fast food restaurant!

• Take dance lessons.

• Hire a photographer and do a romantic photo shoot.

• Create your own private blackout by forbidding the use of all electricity.

• Go to Target and fill your cart with something beginning with every letter of the alphabet. Then put it all away.

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.”

Tips to build your mental strength

Pursue your passion Inner strength comes from knowing that you are living an authentic life. By giving yourself permission to pursue whatever it is that you are passionate about, you are supporting yourself emotionally and mentally.

Become your own best friend It is often said that you cannot love another until you love yourself. A positive self-image is a key ingredient to increasing your mental strength. When you learn to accept and love who you are, you will feel more confident in handling anything that life throws at you.

Disconnect from technology We are inundated with technology everywhere we go. With the prevalence of social media in our lives, it is easy to begin comparing yourself to others. Remember that what you see on the screen is only a snapshot of another’s experience. By disconnecting from the drain of technology, you will reconnect with your own unique spirit.

Spend time with a good book

Reading has numerous benefits for the mind, and studies have shown that bookworms tend to lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Reading a good book calms the nerves and engages your mind, increasing your ability to face your own life challenges.

Learn to let go

We rely on our mental strength to carry us through the twists and turns of life. Those who are mentally strong tend to face adversity with far more ease than those who are struggling to believe in themselves.

The following simple suggestions can provide you with a starting point of building up your mental and emotional strength.

Like Frozen’s Elsa constantly reminds us, sometimes you just need to “Let it go!”

Holding grudges does more than impact your mood, it lowers your ability to handle emotions and move forward in life. Forgive the past, and use your own mental strength to move on to bigger and better things.

Mental strength is a trait that is within us all, no matter your current circumstances. When you focus on supporting your mind, body and spirit, you will find that you discover the strength within you to face any challenge.
