GROWTH

A LASTING GIFT Give the gift of encouragement

Viktor Frankl may have put it best when he said: “If we take man as he is, we make him worse. If we take man as he should be, we make him capable of what he can be.”

In her book called Balcony People, Joyce Landorf Heatherley differentiates between two types of people: balcony and basement.

T he holidays are the most demanding time of the year! Because

of those demands, we often are overwhelmed and are short with those we love the most. This season, make it a point to choose your words with care— especially when you’re emotionally and

physically exhausted. The greatest gift you can give to those you love this season is words of affirmation.

Basement people evaluate others.

With their critical judgments of people’s words and actions, they tear away at others’ souls.

Balcony people, on the other hand, affirm others. They cheer others on and energize them with their affirmations.

Here’s a tough question: Are you a balcony or basement person?

Never forget, you have the power to encourage someone to achieve greatness. There are people in your life that need you to believe in them—your children, spouse, employees and even your boss. Below are a few suggestions you can do to help them build self-confidence and summon the courage to overcome challenges: 1. Develop a genuine rapport with them by showing them that you are totally invested in their success.

2. Challenge their abilities, while giving them the tools and support they need to succeed.

3. Offer sincere encouragement about their capabilities when you see them struggling or getting down on themselves.

Never underestimate the impact of encouraging others.

Mark Twain said, “I can live for two months on a good compliment.”

KIDS

THE GREATEST GIFT

Believe in your child!

What was the greatest moment in college basketball?

Even if you aren’t old enough to remember 1983, you have probably seen the clip. Derek Whittenburg’s shot from 30 feet falls short enabling teammate Lorenzo Charles to grab the ball and put it in as time expires. The NC State Wolfpack beat Houston’s Phi Slama Jama, it was the greatest upset in NCAA history.

S

NC State’s vibrant coach Jim Valvano always believed in his team. His confidence was infectious to his players. Even as he battled cancer that would take his life, he never lost hope or courage. Coach V knew the power of believing as stated in these words, “My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.”

A confident sense of self

Your belief in your child gives them a strong identity.

It gives them permission to be themselves. Insecurity is diminished when they know their value and what they bring to the table. A confident sense of self enables your kids to have healthy relationships and stay cool under pressure.

S

Believing in your children and communicating that belief to them is an important gift. It nurtures each of their needs and prepares them for success.

10

The Grand Season family

Belonging

Your belief in them reminds them where they came from and that they have a home base. It communicates that they are a good and legitimate part of your family’s story. A strong sense of belonging is like having an army by their side.

December 2018

S S

Motivation

A father’s belief in his kids is like putting gasoline in their tank. All of their passion and enthusiasm is released. Your stamp of approval allows it. They will want to prove you right.

Perseverance

Setbacks and difficulties are held in proper perspective. The enduring sentiment is that you have faith in them. Failure will be looked at as a temporary growing pain on the road to success. They are less likely to quit and more apt to see victory.

S

Visualization

Your kids will follow your lead. If you can envision their success, then they will be able to see it.

There will be no other reality in their mind than what they will achieve.

LOVE

SPEAK CLEARLY Give the gift of communication It’s that time of the season when the pressure is on to buy the perfect gift for your better half. If you’re like many couples, you probably have bought yourself a gift, and handed it to your spouse to wrap for Christmas. This year, rather than wrapping up something to collect dust, consider learning to speak a new language—your partner’s love language.

Dr. Gary Chapman, bestselling author, counselor and speaker, realized his clients were trying all the “right” ways to show their partner love—but they were speaking the wrong language. The 5 Love Languages theorizes people tend to give love in the way they prefer to receive love. Since we don’t all have the same preferences as our partners when it comes to giving and receiving love, this is how relationships can start to get sticky. But by understanding our partners’ inherent love language, we can express our love to our partners more effectively—visit 5lovelangueages.com to learn more.

12

The Grand Season family

1 Words of affirmation

This language uses words to affirm other people. For those who prefer the words of affirmation language, hearing “I love you” and other compliments are what they value the most. Words hold real value within this language.

2 Quality time

This language is about giving the other person your undivided attention. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful to these individuals. Being there for them is crucial.

3 Receiving gifts

Dr. Chapman says for some people, what makes them feel most loved is to receive a tangible gift. This doesn’t necessarily mean the person is materialistic, but a meaningful or thoughtful present makes them feel appreciated.

4 Acts of service

For these people, actions speak louder than words—lending a helping hand shows you really care. People who thrive on this language have very little tolerance for people who make more work for them.

5 Physical touch

To this person, nothing speaks more deeply than appropriate touch. That doesn’t mean only in the bedroom—everyday physical connections, like handholding, kissing, or any type of re-affirming physical contact is greatly appreciated.

According to Chapman, even though we tend to favor one language more than the others, we still enjoy traits of the others as well.

HOLIDAY

HANUKKAH TRADITIONS

The Hanukkah celebration revolves around the kindling of a nine-branched menorah, known in Hebrew as the hanukiah. On each of the holiday’s eight nights, another candle is added to the menorah after sundown; the ninth candle, called the shamash (“helper”), is used to light the others. Jews typically recite blessings during this ritual and display the menorah prominently in a window as a reminder to others of the miracle that inspired the holiday.

In another allusion to the Hanukkah miracle, traditional Hanukkah foods are fried in oil. Potato pancakes (known as latkes) and jam-filled donuts (sufganiyot) are particularly popular in many Jewish households. Other Hanukkah customs include playing with four-sided spinning tops called dreidels and exchanging gifts. In recent decades, particularly in North America, Hanukkah has exploded into a major commercial phenomenon, largely because it falls near or overlaps with Christmas.

FUN

MAKE MEMORIES Try something old or try something new!

Traditions are a family’s way to pass down important events and memories associated with a specific holiday.

The greatest thing about traditions is they can be started at any given point, and can be used to help your family cultivate a deep bond, or can signal to a new friends, that they are indeed a part of your family traditions.

Consider using the following ideas to cultivate your family’s Christmas traditions: 1. Instead of a snow ball fight have a flour fight.

Turn some Christmas music on, go outside, and get messy!

2. Get a few bottles of shaving cream and have each member of the family make a Santa beard on their face.

3. Wrap 25 books. Kids can open one book each night leading up to Christmas.

4. Hide the last presents on Christmas day and make clues as to where your kids can find them.

5. Give matching Christmas pajamas for the whole family on Christmas Eve. 6. Make reindeer food out of dried oats and glitter and have the kids sprinkle it in the backyard on Christmas Eve.

7. Watch Polar Express and drink hot chocolate every Christmas Eve. 8. Take your kids shopping for a toy to donate during the Christmas season.

9. Write a letter to your kids and put it in a clear plastic, fillable ornament ball .

10. Have a camp out one night under the Christmas tree.

11. Booby trap the children’s bedroom doors by creating a web of green and red streamers the kids have to break through on Christmas morning.

12. Photocopy your children’s letters to Santa each year and make a book out of them when they are older.

13. Make a red and green paper gratitude chain.

Each night leading up to Christmas, each person writes what they are grateful for and adds it to the chain.

14. Have your children make gift coupons for people in the family (e.g. this coupon is good for one complimentary room cleaning).

HEALTH

One hundred years ago, if you had a cough, you might be given a prescription for a cough medicine made with heroin, cannabis and chloroform. Can you imagine living in a time like that when you might have been given a potentially deadly medicine that did nothing to treat the cause of your cough?

You don’t have to imagine it. This year over 250 million prescriptions for antibiotics will be given out, and if you are getting an antibiotic for a cough the CDC says that more than half of those prescriptions are unnecessary. In other words, we live in a time when you are likely to receive a potentially dangerous medicine that does nothing to treat the cause of your cough.

Why does this happen?

1. People have come to expect a prescription when they go to the doctor. Doctors have to choose between doing what the patient asks for and what is best for the patient’s health.

2. Doctors are expected to see up to 50 patients in a day and it can take up to 20 minutes to explain why an antibiotic isn’t needed and only one minute to give the patient what they want.

Do you need an antibiotic for your cough?

Though most coughs, colds, runny noses and sore throats are caused by viruses and shouldn’t be treated with an antibiotic.

Check with your doctor to help you figure out what infection you have. If it is a virus, an antibiotic won’t help you, and it could hurt you.

Live healthy, Kendrick Johnson, D.O. If you’d like to learn more about Dr. Johnson, visit www.grandseasonfamily.com ArkFamilyHealth.com.

LIFE HACKS

Simple tips to improve life

Drinking five cups of green tea a day can help you lose weight around your belly.

If you ever get gum stuck in your hair, rub some melted chocolate on the area; it will come right out.

Struggling to remember a word?

Clench your fist. This has been proven to increase brain activity and improve memory.

Wrap your sandwiches in paper towels before putting them in a plastic bag or container.

You’ll never eat another soggy sandwich.

Swipe left or right on the iPhone calculator to delete the last digit, so you don’t have to start all over.

Never make the wrong turn on the freeway again: the alignment of the tabs on top of exit signs tells you whether the exit will be on the left or right.

Acne Scar Remedy: Mix a teaspoon of nutmeg and a tablespoon of honey into a paste.

Apply and leave on for 30 minutes, then rinse. Repeat daily, if needed.

To keep potatoes from budding, toss an apple into the bag.

Put a magnet at the bottom of your hammer so you can stick nails to it.

Trying to quit smoking? Drink a lot of water and chew fennel seeds. The water will flush toxins out of your system. The fennel seeds will keep your mouth active when cravings arise.

To lose one pound of fat, you must run for over three hours. Run for 27 minutes a day, lose a pound a week.

Tired of your bananas ripening too fast? Wrap some plastic wrap around the top of the bananas. This will drastically slow down the aging process.

Want to soften your butter quickly?

Heat a glass of water in the microwave, pour out the water, and place the glass over your butter. The butter will start softening after a couple of minutes.

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.”

This time of year it can be hard to be joyful if something is getting in the way? Conflict.

Disappointment. Fear. Anger.

These are emotions you have felt at one point or another in your relationships. In healthy relationships, issues that cause these emotions are merely stepping-stones to a more fulfilling relationship.

relationship. While learning to forgive may not be easy, it is necessary.

If you feel the Grinch has stolen your joy this holiday season, it might be time to look at how you can use forgiveness to move forward.

Forgiveness requires an apology

Sure, we’d all like a heartfelt apology from the person who hurt us. Your job is to ask for an apology, if you are comfortable doing so—just understand that your ability to forgive is not dependent on anyone else’s words or actions.

Forgiveness is not a one-time event

Particularly for deep-rooted injuries, meaningful forgiveness can take years to achieve. But we can always begin the process of forgiveness and deal with the resurgences of anger as they arise.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean you have to like the person

Often, it is best to confront the person who hurt you. This allows you to articulate how the person’s words or actions hurt you, which may provide a psychological release. However, if you do not feel safe approaching the person, do not put yourself in a dangerous situation.

Forgiveness demonstrates your character, it is not proof of another person’s. You don’t have to trust the person you forgive, or even like them.
