I’m always in a hurry!

My “to do” list is insane!

That quote reminded me that when I lose inner peace, my life spirals out of control. Sprinkled throughout The Grand Season this month are helpful articles on how to stay calm. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

E

I recently read 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.

Breathe consciously as often as you remember Take three deep breaths when you get up, in the shower, waiting for your coffee, driving in traffic, sitting at your desk…whenever you remember throughout your day.

SUNSHINE AND HURRICANES

Five ways to stay calm in the midst of chaos

Take time for yourself—every day To stay sane, you must take at least a few minutes, (15 - 30 minutes or more is better) to be with yourself. Go outside, take a walk, look at the sky.

Allow the stress of the day to slip off your shoulders and savor some moments of joy.

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 a number of tips to help you stay calm:

Process your emotions If you are upset about something, or with someone, give yourself time to recognize the emotions and allow them. It’s important not to stuff emotions, and also not to start yelling at someone who has hurt you either.

Make a decision to create calm in your life Do it 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. Remember, you’re learning a new habit.

Practice gratitude When life feels like a struggle, it’s easy to get caught up in looking at everything that is wrong. Write down 5 things every day you are grateful for—simple things like breathing, walking down the street, enjoying the fresh morning air and your morning coffee.

Now that Disney has remade “Aladdin,” “The Lion King” and sequels of “Toy Story 4” and “Frozen 2,” it has turned to “Cruella,” a live-action sequel to “101 Dalmatians,” and a sequel to “The Little Mermaid.”

Originally Lindsey Lohan was cast as Ariel, but was replaced by Halle Bailey, and “This Is Us” star Chrissy Metz was replaced by Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.

The role of her father, Triton, was to be played

by Jeff Bridges and Prince Eric by Zac Efron, but they are not in the current plan.

While “The Star Wars” sequels have been big winners for Disney, others have not. Take “Mary Poppins” (1965), which cost only $6 million to make and earned $103 million, five Oscar wins (including Julie Andrews) and a best-picture nomination, while “Mary Poppins Returns” cost $30 million and grossed $345 million. It didn’t win any Oscars and didn’t get a best-picture nomination.

One of the reasons may have been no hit songs.

HERE’S A TIP

TIP 1 To test the seals on your refrigerator and freezer, close a piece of paper in the door. If you can pull it out easily, it’s likely that your seal is loose.

Clean or replace door gaskets for a better seal.

TIP 2 To clean the microwave, try adding the juice of half a lemon to a cup of water and setting to boil (four minutes) in the microwave. Let the steam circulate for an additional four minutes, then remove the cup and wipe down all sides of interior. Use the cut lemon to clean a wooden cutting board.

Sprinkle with salt and scrub, then rinse and dry.

TIP 3 Use a seam ripper, meant for sewing, to remove hair that is wrapped around the beater bar of your vacuum.

TIP 4 Packing small jewelry for a trip? Consider using a pill minder—the plastic storage bins with seven days or more that are used to organize medicine. These work very well.

From pg. 13

1. “Pretty Young Thing,” by Michael Jackson. It was on his “Thriller” album but he never sang it live.

2. Radio DJs would take money to give airtime to certain songs, which is illegal, unless disclosed when the song is played. It’s basically a commercial bribe.

3. “Solsbury Hill.” The song was used in the season finale of AMC’s “Halt and Catch Fire.”

4. James Taylor, in 1971.

5. “Every Little Step,” by Bobby Brown in 1989 on his “Don’t Be Cruel” album. The song netted Brown his first Grammy.

We all worry and get upset from time to time. It’s a normal part of life, right? But what happens when that anxiety or anger takes over, and you can’t calm down?

Being able to calm yourself in the moment is often easier said than done. Here are a few strategies to help.

Breathe “Breathing is the number one and most effective technique for reducing anger and anxiety quickly,” says Scott Dehorty, LCSW-C, of Delphi Behavioral Health.

Admit that you’re anxious or angry Allow yourself to say that you’re anxious or angry.

When you label how you’re feeling and allow yourself to express it, the anxiety and anger you’re experiencing may decrease.

Challenge your thoughts Part of being anxious or angry is having irrational thoughts that don’t necessarily make sense. These thoughts are often the “worst-case scenario.” You might find yourself caught in the “what if” cycle, which can cause you to sabotage a lot of things in your life.

When you experience one of these thoughts, stop and ask yourself the following questions: • Is this likely to happen?

• Is this a rational thought?

• Has this ever happened to me before?

• What’s the worst that can happen? Can I handle that?

Visualize yourself calm After taking a few deep breaths, close your eyes and picture yourself calm. See your body relaxed, and imagine yourself working through a stressful or anxietycausing situation by staying calm and focused. By creating a mental picture of what it looks like to stay calm, you can refer back to that image when you’re anxious.

Think it through Have a mantra to use in critical situations. Just make sure it’s one that you find helpful. Try these: “Will this matter to me this time next week?” or “How important is this?” or “Am I going to allow this person/situation to steal my peace?”

This allows the thinking to shift focus, and you can “reality test” the situation.

HEALTH

Tips for breathing a little easier

More than 26 million Americans are living with asthma, including 6.2 million children. While there is no cure, asthma can be managed and treated so that those with the condition can live normal, healthy lives—indoors as well as outdoors.

Avoid smoke and tobacco Any kind of smoke, including tobacco smoke as well as smoke from e-cigarettes or “vaping,” are known to irritate the airways of the lung. If you have asthma, don’t smoke and avoid being around people who do. Need help quitting? Visit Lung.org/ffs or call 1-800-LUNGUSA.

It is important to learn more about common triggers—which include respiratory infections, allergens, irritants, exercise and emotions—as well as better understand what causes your symptoms. To get started, the American Lung Association is offering the following tips.

Stay weather-aware Climate change increases the risk that air pollution will worsen. Be aware that extreme weather events, such as drought, floods, wildfires and tornados, can create airborne irritants and allergens for individuals with asthma. Use the Air Quality Index found on the American Lung Association site to stay aware of current conditions and help protect yourself from outdoor air pollution.

People with asthma will want to avoid being outside on days when the air quality index value is above 100.

Combat indoor allergens Animal dander, dust mites and mold are common allergens found indoors that can cause asthma symptoms. Keeping a clean home can help keep the presence of such allergens in check.

Know your own triggers Avoiding and controlling your asthma triggers all begins with identifying them. Work with your doctor to find out what allergens or irritants may be causing your asthma symptoms; an allergy test can help.

Seven 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, practice these ideas.

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 Experts agree that talk therapy is incredibly beneficial to sorting through and managing any negative emotions or behavioral health issues.

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.

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.

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.

Arizona’s hot summers and monsoons can cause major damage to your roofs exterior and underlayment. Don’t wait until you have a leak, call Sun City Roofing to inspect your homes roof today! Winter residents should have their roof checked to help prevent costly repairs.

Shazam (PG-13) A self-reliant foster kid (Asher Angel) is searching for his mom, but gets a wizard’s last-ditch effort to find a hero instead.

After saying “Shazam,” Billy Batson’s body transforms into a strapping (and zapping) grown man powerhouse played infectiously on point by Zachari Levi. This is a superhero story we desperately needed about choosing your destiny even when it’s hard. It’s a winner with heart and laughs.

Breakthrough (PG) Chrissy Metz stars as the believer of all believers in this film about a mother’s resolute faith in the potential for her son to recover from a near-fatal slip into the icy waters of a Missouri lake. Taken from the story of Joyce Smith (Metz) and her adopted son John (Marcel Ruiz), this faith-based film is a bit too predictable with its happy ending but still delivers a welcome, uplifting message.

IT’S NOT TOO LATE

MOVE

by Matilda Charles

If we’ve been inactive for many years, it’s easy to just assume that there’s nothing we can do at our age to increase our health and longevity. Not so, according to a new study.

A large University of Cambridge study of 14,000 participants over nearly 13 years assessed diet, alcohol consumption, body mass index, occupation—and physical activity levels—and compared those with mortality risk from any condition.

Here’s what was discovered: Those who were sedentary and remained sedentary had a higher risk of mortality. Those who started with low activity levels but increased them had additional longevity benefits.

Specifically, the risk of death decreased 24% for a low increase in activity, 38% for a medium increase, and 42% for a high increase in activity.

FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (623) 594-1630

In other words, even if we’ve been very sedentary, becoming more active now lowers our mortality risk.

Many researchers (and the World Health Organization) still say that 150 minutes per week of moderateintensity exercise is what we all need. They even break it down into minutes of activities like dog walking or gardening, all the way up to running and playing tennis.

But that doesn’t mean we should all do 150 minutes of cycling or jogging per week, especially without medical advice. Yes, we can gain longevity if we become more active, but it shouldn’t be at the risk of our current health.

Get your doctor’s opinion. Ask for a plan to gradually increase your activity level. How many minutes of which activity should you do each week? If you’re going to walk, where will you do that? If you want at-home exercise equipment, what kind? If your doctor’s office has a sports medicine department, ask about being assessed on its equipment.

Consider upping your activity level, but do it safely.

CHECK MATE

LOVE

Don’t let stress sabotage your relationship

“Stress impacts our love relationships more than we are aware of or acknowledge,” according to Judy Ford, a licensed clinical social worker. “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,” she added.

INSPIRE

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON Staying centered can help you thrive

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

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

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. — Saint Francis de Sales

Recognize stress symptoms Couples often become so accustomed to unchecked stress that they barely recognize it. How do you know when your partner (or you) is stressed? Look for these signs: one or both of you are snappy, cranky, withdrawn, moody, pouty, teary, ornery, angry, restless, hyper, agitated, overly excited. Or, one of you is self-medicating with drugs, alcohol, food, etc.

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. —Fedor Emelianenko

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.

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.

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. —Tristan Wilds

You have to be strong and calm to overcome difficult moments. —Dani Alves Life goes by fast. Enjoy it. Calm down. It’s all funny.

Next. Everyone gets so upset about the wrong things. — Joan Rivers 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 Power is so characteristically calm, that calmness in itself has the aspect of strength. —Edward G. BulwerLytton

Ask your partner what you can do An important way of supporting your loved one is to ask them flat-out how you can help. According to Ford, you might say: “Is there anything I can do to make your day go smoother?” If your partner isn’t sure, “notice what might be helpful and do that.” It might be anything from doing a few chores to giving them a relaxing back rub.

TACKLING CLUTTER

HOME

Start small and stay steady on progress

If the clutter in your house is driving you crazy, start with a few intentional steps to get it under control.

By starting small with these tips for tackling the areas that tend to collect the most dirt and clutter, you’ll make progress without feeling overwhelmed at the bigger task.

Purge your refrigerator weekly The day prior to garbage collection, clean out your fridge of all leftovers and expired foods, and wipe down the shelves to prevent stickiness and mold from leaking containers. An efficient fridge can make you feel less stress every time you open the door to get something to eat or drink!

Add order to kitchen cupboards When organizing cabinets, place everyday items such as cups and dishes in easily accessible cupboards, and store things that you use less frequently, like fine china, on the harder-to-reach shelves. Discard plastic cups if you have an overly large collection from ball games and other events.

Categorize your pantry

Store your food by category, such as breakfast or baking, with the items that are most-used placed front and center. If you stock up on food for the grandkids, make a snack zone, so they don’t rifle through other shelves when they’re over and hungry.

Organize the junk drawer Eighty percent of Americans report that they have at least one junk drawer in their home, but the average household actually has three of these catch-all drawers. To wrangle this chaotic space, install bins or trays to keep similar contents together and make it easier to see what’s actually in there.

“We had two... air conditioners installed by... Proskill. Every step of the way was exactly as described with no issues what so ever. It was impressive to watch the skilled installation team. The process was excellently choreographed... No mess no fuss. The new systems operate differently... both compressors and fans run at variable rates. Makes for a much more comfortable house... A business owner myself, I can say with conviction that Proskill is a professionally run company.” - Kevin & Angela S “ProSkill has a great team of professinals from start to finish. I replaced both AC units and was amazed at the quality of service, top notch. They don’t cut corners and provide a thorough understanding of all services included. A week following installation, they send another technician who does a thorough review of the work done as an added measure of top quality workmanship.” - Carol H “Jake and Heath know what they are doing. I would hire them in a heartbeat. They are pleasant, clean & professional. They communicate everything that is relevant to what is being done. Do not think twice, hire them to install your new a/c. You will not be sorry.” - Bev N.

FRIENDSHIP

BREAKING THE CYCLE OF LONELINESS Change your habits and make new friends!

According to an AARP study, one-third of seniors are lonely. Another study revealed that loneliness and social isolation can cause increased mortality. Yet another study talks about cognitive decline and depression.

It can be a vicious cycle: If you’re depressed, you don’t want to go out, which makes you more socially isolated, which worsens your depression. You might not feel valued, especially if you’ve recently retired, or you’ve lost a spouse and therefore your previous social group, or you don’t know if you’d be welcome in new places.

There are a number of ways to fight loneliness, but you have to take the steps to break the cycle. The biggest (and sometimes hardest) step is to get out of the house. Just go. Talk to people while you’re out. You never know what doors might open just

by saying hello to someone. They might be just as lonely as you!

Start a new hobby, ideally one that involves others.

Get off the computer. Many turn to technology and social media, but it’s really not a cure for loneliness, and may make one more vulnerable to scams.

Join a group, whether at the senior center or library, ideally a group where people have to talk anyway, such as a reading group. Take a class. Have you tried tai chi? If you knit or crochet, find a group that meets once a week to socialize and make hats and mittens for kids.

Do you dance or sing? Square dancing is energizing, and choirs are uplifting. Volunteering to walk dogs at the humane society accomplishes two things: you interact with others and you train a dog to become a better pet for a potential adopter.

No, you won’t become close pals with everyone you meet, but you are likely to develop a few quality relationships. You just need to take the first steps.

RECLAIM YOUR FRONTIER 365 days a year!

Get the shade solution you need to maximize your outdoor living space with top quality brands and a Lifetime Warranty on products.

PAYING OFF DEBT

MONEY

Strategies that can make a difference

From car loans to student loans, credit card balances and other revolving debt, U.S. consumer debt is higher today than ever before.

Indeed, that figure now exceeds $4 trillion for the first time, according to CNBC.com 2019 estimates. To reduce and eliminate your own debt, consider the following tips: • Review where your money is being spent. Create a budget for monthly expenses and stick to it.

• Get inspired by expert-touted financial strategies and pick one to follow. One popular example is the debt snowball plan, whereby you pay off bills smallest to largest, no matter the interest rates. Or, use the debt avalanche method, paying off highest interest rate debts first, or balance transfers to credit cards with the lowest interest rate.

FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (623) 594-1630

• Fifty-eight percent of Americans report less than $1,000 in total savings, according to a 2018 GOBankingRates survey. Without an emergency fund, unexpected expenses can quickly become a crisis, throwing you off track. Work toward growing a savings fund, even if it’s just a few thousand dollars.

• If a retirement savings program is offered by your employer, participate. Of Americans 55 and older, 48 percent have nothing put away in a 401K-style contribution plan or individual retirement account, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. Many employers offer matching programs, which is essentially free money. Don’t leave it on the table!

• Leverage any other financial wellness benefits offered by your employer, like budgeting tools, financial counseling and automated savings and billpaying services.

U.S. Consumer debt may be at an all-time high, but it doesn’t need to be for you personally. Get inspired to gain a solid financial footing!

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.”

MOMENTS IN TIME

Big events that occurred during the month of August

August 12, 1964 British author and journalist Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, the world’s most famous fictional spy, dies in England. His novels about the debonair Agent 007 were based in part on Fleming’s reallife experiences. The first Bond book, “Casino Royale,” was published in 1953.

Japan’s unconditional surrender to the Allies is made public to the Japanese people. Even though Japan’s War Council had submitted a formal declaration of surrender on Aug. 10, fighting continued. In fact, two days later, a Japanese submarine sank two American ships.

August 15, 1979 “Apocalypse Now,” the acclaimed Vietnam War film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, opens in theaters. It told the story of an Army captain who is sent into the Cambodian jungle to kill a U.S. Special Forces colonel who has gone AWOL and is thought to be crazy.

Yankees. He died 12 hours later. It was the only death as the result of a pitched ball in major league history.

August 17, 1877 Though only a teenager, Billy the Kid kills his first victim, an Arizona blacksmith. Just how many men the outlaw killed is uncertain. Billy himself reportedly once claimed he had killed 21 men.

SUNPRINT ART

GRANDKIDS

A fun sunny day activity

Here’s the fun: 1. Choose an item or items to fit the paper. You might want to play with an arrangement on a practice sheet of plain paper the size of your sunprint paper.

First, enjoy searching for and collecting flat items in nature or familiar small objects around you. Arrange them on a readily available sunpaper product and place them under the power of the direct sun. Within minutes, interesting shapes will appear like magic. Art! Here’s what you need: • A sunny day • Gathered flat nature finds such as leaves, ferns and feathers, or objects in your home like a key, toy or lace—anything you want to print in silhouette • Sunprint treated paper available at art stores and online • Cardboard and clips or a clipboard • Plastic wrap • Flat container such as a 12-inch-by-12-inch baking pan, filled with water • Clothesline and clips (optional)

2. In the shade, clip the sunprint paper on a piece of cardboard or a clipboard. Arrange items on the paper.

3. Set plastic wrap over the items and put in direct sunlight for about two minutes, until the paper turns light blue. Or, follow directions on your sunprint paper product.

4. Remove objects and soak paper in water for about a minute. Dry flat or hang with clips from a clothesline. When dry, enjoy your masterpiece.

Processing Tip A teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide in the rinsing water intensifies the blue of the paper and makes for even more interesting results.

BREAKFAST

EAT RIGHT

Still considered the most important meal of the day

You’ve probably heard the claim that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” While there is some conflicting research that questions the impact of eating breakfast for weight loss, many other researchers conclude there are many other benefits for starting your day with a morning meal. Briana Rodriquez, a registered dietitian with Jenny Craig, offers the inside scoop on breakfast and why there’s still truth in that old saying, especially for those trying to improve their health.

Breakfast basics “Breakfast literally means ‘breaking the fast,” Rodriquez explains. “Blood sugar, also known as glucose, powers your muscles and brain. After 7-9 hours of sleep, blood sugar is naturally low and you need to replenish your energy stores.” But what if there’s no time to spare in the morning? Rest assured, there are quick, easy breakfasts you can grab on-the-go.

ACRYLIC DECKING of

Why breakfast matters Although skipping meals or eating very little in the morning may seem like a sure-fire way to lose weight, Rodriquez explains, it’s not so simple. “When you skip breakfast, you’ll likely overcompensate later, eating your largest meal at night because you’re extremely hungry.

And that’s not good if your intention is weight loss.”

Making breakfast your largest meal of the day, also known as “front-loading,” can lead to a healthier weight.

The quality of food you eat also matters.

Here’s an example of what a typical meal strategy should look like: • Breakfast and lunch should be satisfying, protein-rich and include a small amount of healthy fats and carbohydrates.

• Dinner should be light and include a lean protein and lots of non-starchy vegetables. Rodriquez suggests decreasing carbs in the evening.

• Snacks are an important part of the equation too.

Rodriquez recommends snacks under 200 calories, spaced between meals. Choose something with protein and fiber to help keep you feeling full.
