CREATE BALANCE

YOU

Tips for keeping more in control

Life is very much a balancing act. We are constantly trying to move forward with purpose and, achieve our goals—all while also trying to maintain a sense of balance with all of the different aspects of our lives.

When one area demands an excessive amount of our time, we can easily find ourselves thrown off.

Returning things back into alignment typically requires a concerted effort. Here are some tips that can help.

1. Assess your life as it is now Looking at yourself as you really are is the first step in restructuring your life. Do you feel physically exhausted, mentally stagnant or find yourself without close relationships? Would you call yourself a workaholic? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, your life is probably out of balance.

2. Make a conscious decision to become balanced Choosing reality as your basis of decision is the second step to becoming balanced. Achieving balance will allow you to reach your goals and your purpose in life, while creating less stress along the way.

3. Set goals in every area of your life Set realistic goals in all areas of your life to assist yourself in remembering that your ultimate goal is balance. Your goals should cover: • Your relationships • Your physical being • Your spiritual alignment • Your mental development • Your job • Your finances 4. Be willing to take the risk Being willing to assess yourself and risk change will not only enhance your life, but make you feel more energy and have an expanded awareness of what life is all about. Acknowledging that balance is essential and recreating your life to encompass your decision is worth all the risk.

5. Make time to reassess yourself on a daily basis Don’t feel that your decisions are made in concrete; if something feels like it isn’t working, be willing to look at a new decision. Make time for yourself every day, in a quiet meditative state, to relax and “check yourself out.”

Disney was determined that “Avengers: Endgame” pass No. 2 “Titanic” ($2.18 billion) and No. 1 “Avatar” ($2.78 billion) to become the top-grossing film of all time. The film was released over the Fourth of July weekend and remained in theaters until it grossed $2.79 billion. Ironically, Disney has a stake in all three films. It produced and released “Endgame,” acquired rights to “Avatar” when it bought 20th-Century Fox, and gained the international rights to “Titanic” in the Fox buy.

Disney also now owns the “Avatar” sequels 2-4, with “Avatar 2” due in December 2021.

What does NBC/ Universal suddenly have against Steve Harvey?

First, they brushed aside his hit daytime show “Steve” in favor of a new talk show with Kelly Clarkson. Then a day later, we learned they again brushed him aside from “Little Big Shots,” the show he and Ellen DeGeneres created, in favor of Melissa McCarthy.

MOMENTS IN TIME

Sept. 16, 1620 The Mayflower sails from Plymouth, England, bound for the New World with 102 passengers.

Although headed for Virginia, stormy weather and navigational errors forced the Mayflower off course. On Nov. 21, the Pilgrims reached Cape Cod at what is now Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Sept. 21, 1780 During the American Revolution, American Gen. Benedict Arnold meets with British Major John Andre to discuss handing over West Point to the British, in return for money and a position in the British army. The plot was foiled and Arnold became synonymous with the word “traitor.”

Sept. 20, 1946 The inaugural Cannes Film Festival opens at the resort city of Cannes on the French Riviera. It was to make its debut in 1939, but the outbreak of World War II forced its cancellation.

Sept. 19, 1957 The United States detonates a 1.7 kiloton nuclear weapon in an underground tunnel at the Nevada Test Site, 65 miles north of Las Vegas. It was the first fully contained

underground detonation and produced no radioactive fallout.

Sept. 22, 1985 The first “Farm Aid” concert is held in Champaign, Illinois, and started with an offhand remark made by Bob Dylan. The Farm Aid organization has since raised more than $33 million to support smallfarm owners.

Sept. 18, 1973 Future president Jimmy Carter files a report with the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, claiming he had seen an UFO in October 1969. Carter and other witnesses described the object as “very bright [with] changing colors.”

LIVE YOUR LIFE

INSPIRE

Wise words for making the most of your time on this planet

Infuse your life with action. Don’t wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future.

Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen...yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.

—Bradley Whitford Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. —Og Mandino Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really

precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored. —Earl Nightingale Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you’re going to live your life.

—Joel Osteen Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain...To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices—today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

—Kevyn Aucoin I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun. —Charles R. Swindoll No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today! —Joyce Meyer

SLEEP TIGHT

HEALTH

Alcohol won’t help make it a good night

You may want to save that nightcap for special occasions only. Research indicates drinking alcohol could be ruining your chances of a decent night’s sleep. Even though it’s tempting to have another glass of something to relax and indulge, the idea that alcohol will help you fall and stay asleep is a big old myth. Here’s why drinking before bed to promote better sleep is actually completely counterproductive.

Alcohol wakes you up at night While a drink or two at night can make you feel drowsy and prompt faster onset of sleep, going to bed with a buzz may lead to a worse night’s sleep overall. In one study, scientists concluded that, while sleep may come more easily after consuming alcohol, you’ll eventually wake up more easily and more often throughout the night or in the early hours of the morning.

It can disrupt your REM sleep REM sleep, the deepest sleep stage, is essential to a good night’s rest. The problem with alcohol is that it has a significant impact on REM sleep, which can hurt long-term memory and make us more irritable.

Moderation is the key to balancing a fun night out and a restful snooze.

It might cause heartburn Alcohol has been known to relax the lower esophageal sphincter, the muscle between your stomach and esophagus that’s supposed to be closed except for when you’re swallowing food. When you throw too many drinks into the mix, however, the muscle can relax and stay open for too long, causing stomach acid to come back up, which results in a burning sensation.

It sends you to the bathroom The fact is that consuming alcohol, a diuretic, can make you go more. Our bodies generally produce less urine at night than throughout the day, allowing us to sleep about six to eight hours without interruption.

Drinking alcohol before bed, however, can cause us to wake up in the middle of the night with the urge to go, disrupting the sleep cycle.

COUCH THEATER

by Sam Struckhoff

Now on DVD/Blu-Ray! Poms (PG-13) “Poms” follows Martha (Diane Keaton), a retired teacher with terminal cancer who moves into an “active” retirement community filled with quirky personalities, a ton of amenities and a shocking lack of freedom. Martha creates a cheerleading squad and recruits five other free thinkers as they set out to prove that a sextet of 60- and 70-somethings still got it.

Tolkien (PG-13) J.R.R. Tolkien was one of the most creative minds of our time, breathing life into fanciful and fearsome creatures that have captured the imaginations of so many since “The Hobbit,” published in 1937. This biopic starring Nicholas Hoult focuses on Tolkien’s early life—in school, his courtship with wife Edith (Lily James) and his experiences in World War I that presumably shaped his later “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

HERE’S A TIP

TIP 3 Use the clips on a pants hanger to keep curtains closed in a hotel room.

This can save you from being woken up too early when your room is facing the morning sun.

TIP 4 If you have stainless steel appliances, you might want to try a simple furniture polish to get those surfaces shiny and smudge free.

You can use most any commercial spray-on polish, applied with a clean, lintfree rag, to get them sparkling again.

Why finding balance is so tough

Have you ever said to yourself, “I wish I had more balance in my life?” Balance is an issue many people struggle with. Often, life is so frantic that it’s easy to forget to prioritize those things that make life balanced. Other times, we have an unrealistic idea of what “balance” looks like.

Check out this list of other reasons balance may be eluding you.

You haven’t defined what balance truly means to you If you’ve been wishing your life felt more balanced without defining what that looks like—it’s going to be difficult to achieve it. After all, balance feels different for all of us, depending on our responsibilities, relationships, hobbies and jobs.

You haven’t been practicing self-discipline Even though discipline sounds like the opposite of

balance, it’s one of the best tools to help you feel on top of things. Without self-discipline, we often waste time, procrastinate and fail to follow through with things.

You aren’t being consistent with your actions Consistency is an important aspect of balance, even though it may not seem like much fun. Lack of consistency in our actions is one of the reasons our lives often feel out of whack. Think about which areas of your life are you lacking consistency?

You don’t plan out your weekly schedule When you forget to plan out the details of your schedule, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by everything you have to do. Planning is a way to ensure that you can take care of business and take care of yourself.

You aren’t taking care of yourself With everything you might be juggling (work, relationships, home life, etc.), the most important thing is to make time for yourself. If you aren’t taking ample time to do what fills your soul away from your responsibilities, balance will always seem out of reach.

START SLOW

FITNESS

Ideas to get your body moving

If you’ve pretty much been planted on the couch this summer, here’s how to start exercising and establish a fitness routine you’ll actually stick with.

Take some selfies To accurately track your progress, it’s helpful to identify a starting point and then define your goal. Throw on a sports bra and shorts or a bathing suit and take a video with your smart phone to capture your body from all angles. Do this every two to four weeks to track progress.

Start small So, you haven’t lifted a weight since Cactus League started, give yourself a break. The first week you’re easing back into exercising, start small. Know that any movement is good movement. Commit to doing 10 minutes of an exercise video or walking for exercise three days this week.

Journal Write down five ways you are going to be healthy today. Your daily success list could include things like not drinking soda, eating more vegetables, doing 30 minutes of walking today, taking the stairs in your office once a day, and drinking more water. Keep your goals small and achievable to celebrate daily victories.

Overcome your fear of the gym The gym can be an intimidating place for many of us.

If you’re overweight, obese or just plain inexperienced, you might be afraid that people are staring or judging you. The reality is, most of the time, everyone at the gym is focusing on themselves.

Expect to fail You’re going to make mistakes and stumble along the way. There will be times when life will get crazy and you’ll temporarily be derailed. The difference between failing on a diet or fitness routine and succeeding is that you pick yourself up from the fall and keep going.

Find something you can stick with The “best exercise” is the one you enjoy and will keep doing. Try new things to discover what works for you.

FOOD 4 THOUGHT

DON’T WANT TO COOK?

Solve the meal dilemma

Now and then you just don’t want to cook as much as you normally do. Maybe it’s the heat of summer that keeps you from wanting to get in the kitchen or trek to the grocery store. If you don’t qualify for Meals on Wheels or any other food program, it’s up to you to identify a healthy meal solution.

One great option is meal delivery programs, such as Silver Cuisine by BistroMD, Diet to Go (which has a focus on weight loss), Top Chef Meals and Magic Kitchen. These providers can be handy if you need a low-sodium or low-calorie diet, or one that’s lactose or gluten-free. A local favorite is Fixin to Eat. They have a new menu each month and offer gluten-free and vegetarian options. To learn more visit fixintoeat.com These pre-made meals can be expensive, but it’s worth it, at least now and then, to have a full frozen meal you only need to heat to eat. If you search online for “meal delivery programs for seniors,” most of them have a full range of meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner, sides and dessert. Many have a weekly special with enticing discounts.

Compare a few different company websites. Some sites are better than others in categorizing the different foods and presenting the nutritional information. Shop around as you’ll certainly find that the prices vary from one to the other.

If you order pre-made meals, be sure to also sign up for the alerts put out by the Food and Drug Administration for foods that have been found to contain Salmonella or Listeria.

AGING PARENTS

SENIOR LIVING

Signs they may need more help

When seniors struggle with basic tasks such as selfcare, transportation or household chores, they don’t always talk about it. They may be embarrassed or afraid of losing their independence.

Still others may not even realize anything is amiss, particularly if they’re in the beginning stages of dementia.

Here are some warning signs that a loved one may be in need of care: • A change in mood, such as depression, anxiety or a loss of interest in socializing and hobbies.

• Bruises, cuts or scrapes are sometimes evidence of falls or kitchen mishaps, and a potential indication of declining physical agility.

• Piles of mail, un-watered plants and overflowing hampers—these are just a few of the many signs that basic tasks are being neglected.

• New dents or dings on your parents’ vehicle. These could be signs that safe driving has become an issue.

• Stains, missing buttons and untrimmed nails, are signs of neglected personal hygiene.

• No food in the house, or moldy, stale or spoiled food, might mean a parent is struggling to grocery shop or cook, or may have even lost interest in eating.

• Significant weight loss, which can happen for a variety of reasons, including serious physical and mental disorders.

• A prescription stockpile could indicate your parent is forgetting to take critical pills.

• Issues with mobility and balance. These can be signs of joint, muscle or neurological problems, and increase the likelihood of falls.

• Stacks of unopened bills, late payment notices, unbalanced checkbooks and wads of cash stashed in odd places, are all signs of mismanaged money.

A DELICATE BALANCE

LOVE

Great rules for marriage

There are plenty of theories on what creates happy relationships. Below are some bits of advice to help you live your happiest life together.

Find Your Happy Do something daily that makes you happy and your relationships will benefit. You can’t be happy in a relationship if you aren’t happy with yourself.

Express Your Love Daily Be open with your expressions of love.

Savor the Good Appreciating and enjoying the good in your relationship attracts more good and your relationship becomes stronger and better.

Learn Something New Every Day Learn to love learning. Learning is the key to growth and evolution. And growth is the key to strong relationships.

Live in the Now Stay focused on what really matters and don’t let lifes’ distractions keep you from living in the moment.

Forgive the Imperfections Forgiving is such an important ingredient in relationships. Holding on to things that make you angry keeps you in a negative space and prevents you from being your best self.

Be Kind and Generous Do something special every day. A little note, a surprise cup of coffee or simple phone call just to say, “hi,” will go a long way to showing your partner how much you value them.

Make Your Marriage a Priority Stop looking at marriage as a thing and start thinking of it as part of you. Take care of it, nurture it and let it grow.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words Make sure your actions show your love. Often times what you do and how you do it says more than expressing your love with words.

SURPRISE DENTAL CARE Our Mission Statement: Your Smile Is Our Top Priority

Next time you stub your toe or bash your shin on the coffee table, don’t be afraid to swear.

Research shows that cursing actually helps reduce pain.

If you go to sleep after a big meal, be sure to lie on your left side.

Sleeping on your right places your stomach higher, which enables food and stomach acid to go to your throat.

Writing down your worries before taking an exam has been proven to actually boost your test scores.

Tie a small knot around your left ear bud so you can easily tell them apart.

Sick of all that static cling while brushing your hair? Poke the bristles of you hairbrush through a dryer sheet. No more static.

When out with friends, place your phones facedown in the middle of the table. First one to check their phone pays the bill.

For residents of Surprise, Sun City Grand, Sun City Festival or Waddell, Surprise Dental Care is a friendly, professional dental office, that offers quick and easy dental treatment.

GOOD VIBES

MONEY

Let go of your negative beliefs

PAWS CORNER

The reality is plenty of good can come from spending money in positive ways. Most of us aren’t aware of the negative subconscious beliefs that we’ve held about money. Many negative beliefs about money have been encoded in our brains and passed down from generation to generation. Check out these beliefs and examine which ones you may hold.

Negatives beliefs: Money is bad. A lot of people have a negative view of money. At the very least, they feel they have to be cautious when they deal with money.

Money disappears fast. When you need money most, you cannot find it. It quickly disappears. Right after it comes into your life, it will go fast!

Money hurts people. Money, in the literal sense, cannot hurt people. However, we may feel hurt because money triggers some pain in us.

Positive beliefs: Money supports people. Money can support people by enabling them to make a living, helping them learn new things, and providing them with security and all the necessities required to live.

Money makes people happy. Money does elicit positive emotions. You can in fact feel happy about money even if you have only a little of it.

Money helps realize dreams. People have all kinds of dreams, and sometimes money helps to fund them.

THE GRAND SEASON • SEPTEMBER 2019

Q: Recently, I was walking to the drugstore when I heard a small dog frantically barking from a nearby car. I looked in the window and saw a toy poodle in the back seat, putting her paws on the windows and barking at everyone passing by. The car was not running though it was parked in a shady spot. I rushed inside and called for the manager, who contacted the police.

They immediately opened the car and rescued the little dog, who was panting heavily. How do you feel about taking pets on errands?

A: Even on a pleasant day with temperatures in the mid70s, the interior of a car can heat up to life-threatening levels of more than 100°F. That’s even on a cloudy day, or when parked in a shady spot. If you want to take your pet with you, go places that welcome pets.

Otherwise, leave them at home. It’s not worth the risk.

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.”
