YOU

LIVE HAPPY Eliminate second-hand stress

by Shawn Achor & Michelle Gielan

Over the past decade, we have learned how our brains are hardwired for emotional contagion. Emotions spread via a wireless network of mirror neurons, which are tiny parts of the brain that allow us to empathize with others and understand what they’re feeling. Your brain picks up the smiles, yawns and fatigue response of someone sitting on the other side of the room.

But it’s not just smiles and yawns that spread. We can pick up negativity, stress, and uncertainty like secondhand smoke.

Observing someone who is stressed—especially a family member—can have an immediate effect upon our own nervous systems.

Secondhand stress is much more contagious from a romantic partner than a stranger.

In such a highly connected world, we need to find ways to improve our emotional immune system, otherwise we risk the negative effects of second-hand stress. Here’s how:

Be Calm and Carry On

We found that if you create a positive mindset about stress and stop fighting it, you experience a 23% drop in the negative effects of stress.

When we see stress as a threat, our bodies and minds miss out on the enhancing effects of stress.

Be Confident

One of the greatest buffers against picking up others’ stress is stable and strong self-esteem. The higher your self-esteem, the more likely you will feel that you can deal with whatever situation you face. Exercise is one of the best ways to build selfesteem, because your brain records a victory every time you exercise.

And of course, it’s not just other people’s stress that matters — our own mindset affects the happiness of those around us. A positive mindset can improve our own lives, and the lives of everyone around us.

LAUGHTER LIGHTENS THE MOOD Going through a time of prolonged challenge can make us prone to dark moods, negativity, and pessimism. When we make an effort to laugh, we have the power to lighten the mood and help pull one another out of the gloom.

LOVE

FUN & GAMES Laughter can make tough times better.

By Drs. Les & Leslie Parrot Have you and your spouse taken time to laugh together lately? Laughter can be an incredible relief on an ordinary day, but it’s especially important during difficult times. In order to endure tough times and come out stronger on the other side, we must be able to laugh.

Wondering how laughter can help you and your spouse during tough times? Let’s take a look.

LAUGHTER REDUCES STRESS Focus on laughing more–both together and on your own. According to the Mayo Clinic, laughter really is medicine. The ability to find humor despite difficult circumstances can help reduce the physical symptoms of stress. Laughing can increase the flow of oxygen in the body, soothes your body’s stress response, and relieves tension in the body.

Laughter boosts your mood and can have longterm, positive effects on your immune system and overall health.

LAUGHTER HELPS YOU RECONNECT TO FUN AND PLAY Laughing can spark playfulness — an important part of every happy marriage. Letting loose and playing together is healthy for married couples. Fun and play have the power to dramatically change your day, and if you’re taking the time to play together, you’ll be able to create that joy over and over again.

FAMILY

FAMILY FUN

Grandparenting is one of the best perk from being a parent.

As grandparents we all want to make the most of the precious family time we get to spend with our grandchildren. You can create deep, loving relationships with your grandchildren by sharing the things you love and by

learning about what excites them. Whether you’re a full-time grandparent, a stepgrandparent, or a long distance grandparent living thousands of miles away, you can find new ways to strengthen family ties and provide your grandchildren with joyful memories and valuable life lessons.

What’s so grand about being a grandparent?

In no particular order, grandparenting is an opportunity to play, to love someone new, to appreciate the magic of a developing mind, and to be needed by someone again.

Grandparents can:

• Share the things they’re passionate about with a new audience.

• See the world in a new way through younger eyes.

• Experience games, music, nature, reading, and other interests in conjunction with a curious young mind.

• Provide expanded support and encouragement to their grandchildren.

• Use their breadth of experience to avoid the pitfalls they may have encountered as parents the first time around.

• Watch children develop through all stages of growth.

• Learn about their grandkids’ music and passions.

• Provide input that parents cannot.

Usually, grandparents have the benefit of interacting on a level that is once removed from the dayto-day responsibilities of parents.

This can make it easier to develop a close bond with grandchildren.

From near or far, grandparenting can provide continuity in a child’s life. Grandparents are often the family historians, and can add a rich sense of family tradition to a child’s life. Additionally, contact with grandparents can teach children positive attitudes towards aging and help them develop skills to enhance their own lifelong learning.

Of course, not everything about being a grandparent is great all of the time. Becoming a grandparent at a young age can make some people feel prematurely old and, just as parents do—grandparents sometimes have to deal with colicky babies and moody teenagers. For most though, the benefits of being a grandparent far outweigh the drawbacks.

VETERANS POST

There are 250,000 veterans without bank accounts. Without one, they can receive their benefits only through a prepaid debit card or a paper check.

Last year, the Department of Veterans Affairs established the Veterans Benefits Banking Program, and 25,000 veterans so far have signed up, mostly because of the convenience, safety and money-saving aspects.

Having a bank account saves trips to the convenience store to buy money orders.

Signing up for automatic deposit at one of the VBBP financial institutions allows vets to get benefits directly rather than through the mail. It also eliminates check-cashing fees.

Paying a bill by check provides proof that it was paid.

Go online to the VA site veteransbenefitsbanking. org/ and click on Find A Bank/Credit Union. Scroll down and see what fits your needs. Once you have a bank account (be sure to tell them about VBBP when you sign up), you’ll want direct deposit of your benefits. To arrange that, call 1-800827-1000.

GROWTH

STRONG CHOICES 5 Steps to Better Self-Control

If we want to improve our habits, where should we begin? These five habits will protect us from getting so physically taxed or mentally frazzled that we can’t manage ourselves.

Get at least seven hours of sleep.

For many of us, those last hours of the day are time to play or relax, but the fact is, we need sleep. Lack of sleep affects mood, memory, immune function—it even contributes to weight gain. Most adults need at least seven hours of sleep a night. If you struggle with getting to bed on time, try setting an alarm at night to help you get moving toward sleep.

Go for a 20-minute walk.

Physical activity is the magical elixir of practically everything.

Exercise relieves anxiety, boosts energy and mood, improves memory, sharpens executive function and contributes to weight maintenance. It both FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (623) 594-1630

energizes and calms us.

You don’t need to train for a marathon or go to an hour-long spin class. The biggest health boost goes to those who are consistent about being less sedentary.

Don’t let yourself get too hungry.

Because the brain needs energy to manage impulses, paradoxically, one of the best ways to avoid impulsive overeating (or any bad habit) is to eat enough. Also, skipping meals can lead to a whole day of bargaining and bad choices.

Take time to unclutter.

Most of us get a real lift when we put things in their place, tackle nagging tasks, clear surfaces and get rid of junk. This surge of energy makes it easier to ask more of ourselves, to use our self-control and to stick to a challenging habit. One of the most popular habits for boosting happiness and productivity?

Make your bed. Also, if you can do something in less than one minute, do it without delay. This eliminates the scrim of clutter on the surface of life.

Give yourself healthy treats.

Treats are delightful. Unlike a reward, which must be earned or justified, a “treat” is a small pleasure or indulgence that we give to ourselves just because we want it. We don’t have to be “good” to get it, we don’t earn it or justify it. Giving ourselves “treats” may sound self-indulgent or frivolous, but it’s not. When we give ourselves treats, we feel energized, cared for and contented, which boosts our self-command. It’s a secret of Adulthood: If we give more to ourselves, we can ask more from ourselves.

These five areas build on each other. Start with one area, and go from there, as you make your habits better than before.

TIP 1 Candles will burn more evenly if you refrigerate them for a few hours before lighting.

TIP 2 There is a reason that most refrigerators have more than one crisper drawer. Some items need to be stored separately. For example, keep apples and carrots in different compartments. The apples give off a gas that can give the carrots a bitter taste.

TIP 3 To get rid of the smell of garlic or onions from cooking, mix some salt with a little bit of water and rub the mixture over your hands for a few minutes. Then rinse under cold water.

TIP 4 To save yourself time and aggravation, make a backup set of keys that match your current set. You’ll never run late looking for your keys when you are in a hurry.

TIP 5 For squeaky door hinges, pull the hinge pins, wipe them clean with a dry rag, and then apply a thin coating of Vaseline.

DATING

Here’s the dating dilemma: The society we live in tells people of a certain age that their best opportunities for love and romance have come and gone.

Deep down, you know it’s not too late— never too late—to find love. This is the “timeless you,” who experiences a tingle of excitement at the thought of new romantic possibilities.

These four tips will help you navigate common senior single dating pitfalls:

LOOKING FOR LOVE

(Don’t) act your age.

After spending a lifetime learning to be “serious” and “responsible,” it can be hard to remember the cardinal rule of dating: Have fun! While many dating rules have changed, laughter, spontaneity, and a healthy appetite for fun are still highly attractive.

Be here, now.

If you are a dating again for the first time in years, you’ve probably overcome painful obstacles to arrive at this decision. Perhaps you’ve survived the

death of a spouse, or maybe a divorce that tested your sense of self and ability to trust. Don’t let your past dominate the conversation.

Leave your kids at home.

Your children are adults now and have had homes of their own for years. But they can still tag along on your date, if you take their opinions too much to heart. Listen to your kids concerns—but live your own life.

View each date as a fresh start.

Resist the temptation to compare each new person with past partners. Dating is not about filling someone’s empty shoes or avoiding a repeat of past hurts. It is about starting over entirely and finding new things to love about another unique person.

Love is exciting and meaningful at any age. Have fun, be present, be free—and follow your heart where it leads. For more great dating tips, visit eharmony.com.

MUSIC

Something new for the new year

Have you been wanting to learn to play an instrument for a long time? Let the New Year be your motivation to finally take the plunge! Here are some top tips for getting started and for sticking with it: Schedule practice sessions Learning to play an instrument requires a time commitment, so actually schedule a daily practice session—at least 30 minutes—in your planner or calendar. Whether it’s first thing in the morning or just before bed, identify a time of day when you are best able to turn off distractions and focus on the task at hand.

WHAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY

Big events that occurred during the month of January

January 8, 1946 Elvis Presley’s mother takes him to the Tupelo Hardware Store and buys a birthday gift that would change history: a $6.95 guitar. Legend says Presley had really wanted a rifle or a bicycle.

January 11, 1908 U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt declares the massive 800,000-acre area of the Grand Canyon in northwestern Arizona a national monument to ensure that it would remain as it was.

Congress, however,

January 12, 1984 The use of modern construction techniques to restore the Great Pyramids in Egypt is abandoned in favor of methods used by the ancient Egyptians.

Restorers stopped using

BE POSITIVE

A positive attitude can really make dreams come true - it did for me.

David Bailey

If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.

I think that life is difficult. People have challenges. Family members get sick, people get older, you don’t always get the job or the promotion that you want. You have conflicts in your life. And really, life is about your resilience and your ability to go through your life and all of the ups and downs with a positive attitude. Jennifer Hyman A positive attitude is something everyone can work on, and everyone can learn how to employ it.

Joan Lunden

Pat Riley

Virtually nothing is impossible in this world if you just put your mind to it and maintain a positive attitude. Lou Holtz A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.

Wade Boggs

You can do everything you can to try to stop bad things from happening to you, but eventually things will happen, so the best prevention is a positive attitude. Marie Osmond A positive attitude is not going to save you. What it’s going to do is, everyday, between now and the day you die, whether that’s a short time from now or a long time from now, that every day, you’re going to actually live.

Elizabeth Edwards

Adopting a really positive attitude can work wonders to adding years to your life, a spring to your step, a sparkle to your eye, and all of that. Christie Brinkley

A positive attitude is a choice, like walking to the other side of a street to avoid trouble or making a 180-degree turn when you feel you’re heading in the wrong direction. Richard M. DeVos JANUARY 2021 • THE GRAND SEASON

BOOK CLUB

MUST READS

These books will inspire you Nine Things Successful “If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things,” wrote Albert Einstein. Goals give us purpose when our feet hit the floor in the morning. When we set a goal to achieve something— especially something that is tied to our character strengths— we are practicing what some happiness researchers define as authentic happiness: The joy we feel when we are striving toward our full potential.

Use these books to help you set goals, stick with them and finally, accomplish them.

People Do Differently

By Heidi Grant Halvorson

Social psychologist and motivation expert Heidi Grant Halvorson focuses her research on why some people give up when things get challenging while others persevere. She believes anyone can reach their goals using scientifically-tested strategies to succeed. In this book, Heidi presents studies showing that people who anticipate obstacles and use positive thinking and a plan to persevere outperform those who just dream about a desired outcome.

Creating Your Best Life: The Ultimate Life List Guide

By Caroline Miller

Life coach and positive psychology expert Caroline Miller offers a research-based guide to setting and hitting your goals through interactive assessments and quizzes.

Discover how to coach yourself to set goals and create physical and social environments that will foster success. When you hit one goal, Caroline explains, the happiness you feel has a “spillover effect” that will help you achieve additional goals.

The Power of Positive Thinking

By Norman Vincent Peale The Power of Positive Thinking has helped millions of people achieve their goals since it was first published in 1952.

“Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding.

Hold this picture tenaciously.

Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination,” writes Norman, in the original self-help manual. These words still resonate with readers more than half a century later.

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.”
