EDITOR
Spring Training is finally here! I honestly love the month of March—the idea of watching a baseball game every day is amazing to me. But as a mom of two active teenagers, that’s about as realistic as catching up on every book on my nightstand. I hope your month is shaping up to be an amazing one—despite the chaos of juggling plans for Spring Break. While working on The Grand Season Family this month, I decided our theme would be happiness. A quote by Jim Rohn caught my attention, “Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.” I know that life can be overwhelming at times, but I to be honest, the moment I decided to be happy, regardless of life’s outcomes, my life changed for the better. I truly believe happiness is a choice! This month’s The Grand Season Family is chalked full of articles on how happiness can impact both
your personal and professional life. Do me a favor and tell me a story about how choosing to be happy has impacted your life. You can reach me at melissa@thegrandseason.com. As a thank you, I will send one lucky reader a special gift. As always, thank you for your support of The Grand Season Family, and all of our local advertisers who are committed to providing you an incredible value on the products you buy, as well as providing excellent customer service.

YOU
BE HAPPY
Despite how down in the dumps you may be, social scientists say happiness makes life more fulfilling and provides a sense of belonging. Bestselling author, speaker and Harvard grad, Shawn Achor says, “Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.” Research continues to support facts that a positive mental attitude will help you overcome any obstacle you may encounter.

The research shows that meditating, fishing, going to church, watching the game and exercising all make people happier than spending time with their children. In fact, an afternoon with the kids ranks only slightly higher than taking the dog for a walk for boosting contentment.
7 things that definitely won’t make you happy (% decreased happiness) 1. Travelling, commuting -1.47% 2. In a meeting, seminar, class -1.50% 3. Admin, finances, organizing -2.45% 4. Waiting in line -3.51% 5. Care or help for adults -4.30% 6. Working, studying -5.43% 7. Sick in bed -20.4%

KIDS
KEEP CALM Help your child develop coping skills
Imagine your mind uncluttered, happy and free, loving whatever you are doing to the point that you lose track of time, limitations and stressors. Psychologists refer to this frame of mind as flow. Many scientists believe children operate in a naturally flowing mindset up to about age 5. You can, however, regain your mental flow at any age and teach your children to nurture (and keep) theirs! This helps them develop coping skills that will empower them for life, increasing the “ups,” decreasing the “downs” and making joy a part of every day. Research indicates coping has to do with how you manage your mental and physical energy. The goal is to find balance. Your mind flows when sparked by high-quality energy and personal motivation. The two go hand-in-hand. There are several things you can do to help your child find their flow:
Encourage Positivity
Positive energy attracts positive action. Helping your child grow a happy mind begins with being open to the positive things in life, and there’s no better way to start than to make yourself a model. Life is full of beauty, love and excitement.
Self-Awareness
As parents, we can help our children become more aware of who they are and to discover their unique qualities. Selfawareness is about being attentive to who you have been in the past, who you are now and who you want to be in the future.
Helpful Habits
Help your child develop these habits, so they can find balance throughout their day (and life): 1. Incorporate a morning activity that launches you into a flowing mindset. Sing, dance or take a walk outside. 2. Balance your energy before and after daily activities. Pick two songs from your favorite collection, one that motivates you and another that calms you. Put them on your phone. Decide what kind of energy you need to feel (motivating or calming) for balance in the morning before you leave home, at lunchtime and again when you get home. 3. Get organized at night. Remind your child how important preparation is in preventing chaos. They’ll wake up happier knowing they have all of the items needed for a successful day. 4. Prioritize sleep. Make it a habit to turn lights off at the same time each night. Kids need sleep for higher-level thinking and to maintain balance. 5. Each day, do something nice for someone. Think about who you will help, compliment or surprise. Then do it!

LIFE HACKS
SIMPLIFY LIFE SIMPLE CHANGES CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE HAPPIER
Life as a parent is complicated. There is no one quick fix that can completely solve the jigsaw puzzle of your responsibilities. But sometimes a small, simple solution to a tiny-but-nagging problem—a hack, a workaround—is exactly what we need. Eliminating the lost-keys-what’sfor-dinner-tonightlevel annoyances opens up time and mental space for the important stuff: rest, exercise, productive work, and joyful time spent with family and friends. 14
1. Come up with three dinners that use pantry ingredients. You already have a few simple go-to dishes that are satisfying, nourishing and easy to prepare. Alter the recipes so you can make three family favorites using only ingredients that you already have in the pantry and freezer. Swap fresh vegetables for frozen, even if that’s not your usual practice. Store shredded cheese in the freezer so it’s always ready to go. Once you know what your favorite pantry meals are, keep these ingredients stocked in your home. 2. Use over-the-door clear pocket shoe holders everywhere. Shoe organizers can organize so much more than shoes! In the bathroom, store styling products, hair clips, sunscreen, and bandages. In kids’ rooms, organize small toys and stuffed animal collections. In the laundry room, hold clothespins, stain sticks, and orphan socks. In the office, store small electronics with their associated chargers and cables. 3. Hang a whiteboard in the kitchen so everyone can add to the grocery list. Whoever is going shopping, take a phone picture of the board! This way you have shared responsibility for the list. No data entry in spreadsheets or fussy grocery list apps; no lost or forgotten slip of paper. 4. Flatten toilet paper rolls to slow down the spin. Your kids will use less toilet paper, and the roll is less likely to unravel onto the floor. 5. Take digital pictures of your kid’s favorite art projects, then repurpose the originals. Save the best of your kid’s art, share its beauty and declutter at the same time. Take digital photos of your kids’ best and/or favorite art projects. Then transform the originals into wrapping paper, gift labels, birthday cards and gifts.

TIPS
NEED TO KNOW
Ideas to make life easier
Make a box cake taste like it was made from scratch. Add an extra egg, use melted butter instead of oil and use milk (whole) in place of water. Mix for an extra minute or two, to really aerate the batter. Hide the cords coming from your wall-mounted television by running them through a length of PVC pipe. It can be painted to match your wall, too! Measure the length you need, and your hardware store may be able to cut a piece for you if you can’t find one the right size. It looks so much cleaner, and you can even use double-stick tape to attach the pipe to the wall.
Corral kids’ books in a traveling library by repurposing an old wagon. All you need to do is store the books spine side up for easy selection. This also makes it a snap to move it to just the right place to encourage reading, whether it’s the garden path or a blanket fort. If you don’t have a wagon to repurpose, installing some caster wheels on the bottom of a crate works, too. Replace mascara frequently. But if you need to freshen a tube of dry mascara, just add a few drops of contact solution to the brush and bottle. Make doctor’s appointments on or near a major holiday every year. That way you don’t end up forgetting when your last annual exam or dental cleaning was. If you seriously need to remove a color polish from your nails, but ran out of remover, try this trick: Paint the nail generously with clear polish, then use a dry cotton ball to swipe it off. Repeat as needed.

An apple a day really does keep the doctor away. Eating fruits and vegetables, like apples, produces a calming effect, creates more energy, and increases overall happiness.
Spinach
There’s a reason why Popeye ate it. Spinach contains folic acid, which alleviates depression and reduces fatigue.
Coffee
Don’t switch to decaf just yet. Coffee consumption has been linked to lower levels of depression.
Walnuts
Eating walnuts can improve brain function. Contributing factors include walnuts’ high antioxidant content, vitamins and minerals, and that they contain a large amount of alphalinolenic acid, a plant-based omega-3. The Grand Season family

HEALTH
GET HAPPY
5 WAYS HAPPINESS IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH
Happiness and good health go hand-in-hand. Indeed, scientific studies have found that happiness can make our hearts healthier, our immune systems stronger, and our lives longer. If you need some extra motivation to get happier, check out the ways happiness has been linked to good health. 1. Happiness protects your heart Love and happiness may not actually originate in the heart, but they are good for it. Researchers have found that happiness predicts lower heart rate and blood pressure. In the study, participants rated their happiness over 30 times in one day and then again three years later. The initially happiest participants had a lower heart rate on follow-up (about six beats slower per minute), and the happiest participants during the followup had better blood pressure.
2. Happiness strengthens your immune system Do you know a grumpy person who always seems to be getting sick? That may be no coincidence: Research is now finding a link between happiness and a stronger immune system. In an experiment, 350 adults volunteered to get exposed to the common cold. Before exposure, researchers called them six times in two weeks and asked how much they had experienced nine positive emotions—such as feeling energetic, pleased, and calm—that day. After five days in quarantine, the participants with the most positive emotions were less likely to have developed a cold.
3. Happiness combats stress Stress is not only upsetting on a psychological level, but also triggers biological changes in our hormones and blood pressure. Happiness seems to temper these effects, or at least help us recover more quickly.
4. Happy people have fewer aches and pains. A recent study asked participants to rate their recent experience of positive emotions, then (five weeks later) how much they had experienced negative symptoms like muscle strain, dizziness, and heartburn since the study began. People who reported the highest levels of positive emotion at the beginning actually became healthier over the course of the study, and ended up healthier than their unhappy counterparts
5. Happiness combats disease and disability Happiness is associated with improvements in more severe, long-term conditions as well, not just shorter-term aches and pains.

LOVE
PILLOW TALK
5 questions for a happier relationship Create the most fulfilling relationship of your life by asking these 5 questions of yourself and your partner every week. Keeping your relationship happy, exciting and fulfilled can feel like an overwhelming task. How do you ensure that you’re meeting your partner’s needs and they’re meeting yours? Grab a piece of paper, and a few minutes alone with your partner, and ask each other the following questions. Individually rank each question on a scale of 1-10. Then share your answers with each other.
1. How connected did I feel we were this week? It’s okay if you don’t feel a
super connected “10.” It’s also okay if your partner feels your connection was a 10, and you’re ranking it a 7. The point is to open up a discussion. If someone wasn’t a 10, ask why. What would have made it a 10 for you?
2. How supportive was I of my partner this week? This is a question where you
each rank yourselves. Be honest and try to give yourself an accurate reading.
3. How supported did I feel this week?
20
Now it’s your turn to rank your partner. Remember, when sharing these numbers with each other, the goal is to discuss and not to use the numbers as weapons. If you didn’t feel a 10 supported, share with your partner what would have made it a 10. And vice versa. The Grand Season family
March 2019
4. How was our physical intimacy this week? Off the charts amazing? Or needs a
little work? Here is your chance to share openly about this area, as well.
5. What is my own current level of inner peace? While it may not seem like
this question has anything to do with your relationship, the opposite is actually true. Take a moment to rank your current level of inner peace and share with your partner any other factors that may be impacting your life and stress level.
Create the time and space to consistently ask these questions each week, and watch your relationship strengthen right before your eyes. The 5 Questions were created by connection experts, international speakers, coaches and life partners Natalie Ehmka and Gordie Bufton.

HAPPY SPACES Make your home a happy place
be left to a licensed professional. Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of the creative effort. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt What better way to achieve happiness than to try a DIY project. Roll your sleeves up and try something new. Whether it’s a big task or small, here are some great ideas on how to execute a DIY project.
Learn
There are many ways to learn how to execute a DIY project. You Tube is a great place to start. You can watch a video on anything, and see the time and effort it really takes to execute a task. Also, complete a google search and check out the ways multiple people have tackled a task. You can also call an expert and get their opinion on whether the project you want to try should be attempted by and executed by a person with your skill set. There are certain tasks like electrical work that should
Know your limits
Start small and keep your first projects manageable. Taking on a kitchen remodel alone, is not a good idea. Installing a new faucet in the kitchen can be a challenging task and can easily be executed in a small amount of time. And it will make a big impact in your kitchen.
The plan
The plan should include the following: • Budget • List of materials needed • List of tools needed • Timeline of “How To” steps
Make a list
Take the checklist to the store to get all of the materials. Plan the project out on paper, before you ever start the work. It will save multiple trips to the home improvement or craft store which can become timely and frustrating.
Get it done
For small projects like painting a picture frame or wall, pick a day to make it happen. For bigger more ambitious projects, dedicate a weekend (or a month) to the task, and ask friends and family to help. As long as there is a plan and a timeline for executing multi-stepped projects, it can be challenging and fun. Now step back and take pride in what you have accomplished for your home. For a list of great DIY home decor projects visit Pinterest and search “Easy DIY Projects.” There are plenty of great projects that are inexpensive and easy to execute!

WISDOM
THE MEANING OF HAPPINESS
“Being with my family and playing with my friends and nice and sunny days. And when my dad comes home from work and I like to cuddle him.” –Annika, 6
FROM THE MOUTHS OF BABES
“Ummmm….playing happy. And playing in the playground. And playing with your friends outside happy.” –Desmond, 3
Sometimes kids feel so wise. Or at least incredibly clear-minded and perceptive. So, when asked, “What does happiness mean to them?” Read on to find out their sweet answers and try to take away their simplicity of happiness in your own life.
“Happiness is what you feel when you, um, make a new friend, get a new pet or see family you haven’t seen in awhile. Or getting a toy you really, really, really want.” –Sabrina, 8 “A carnival. A roller coaster because you feel like you’re driving the Batmobile.” –David, 6 “Happiness to me means getting video game time, TV time, the books I want…It’s when you feel good about something, joyful, when you want to dance sometimes…Fridays make me happy, especially long weekends. And that’s about it.” –Phoenix, 10
“Happiness pretty much means peace. Like the whole world is peaceful and you are so excited.” –Keegan, 8 “I know what it means. It means you hug everybody and squeeze everybody. And that’s all.” –Ty, 5 “It’s like friendship and teamwork, and just enjoying yourself!” –Aidan, 10 “ It means if you’re happy you can let a friend come over. Happiness feels happy!” –Annabelle, 6 “Having and being with my family and friends. Happiness is about being nice and spreading love all around the world.” –Rachel, 7 “Going home for dinner makes me happy. So does getting snacks before bedtime. Happiness means joy.” –Cooper, 6

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.” Sue Royer Director

GROWTH
THRIVE Be happy at work!
by Michelle McQuaid When it comes to work, most of us long to be a little happier. But changing jobs, changing bosses, or simply finding more joy amid all the tasks on our to-do list often feels beyond our grasp. Many of us are so busy that we are just trying to keep our heads above water. We don’t have the time, let alone energy, to improve our current situation. But what if there were a busy-proof way to start doing more of what you do best each day, regardless of what your job description or your boss might say? A growing body of research suggests that developing your strengths—the things you’re good at and enjoy doing—can leave you feeling more confident, energized and happy at work. The key is to create an 11-minute daily strength development habit by harnessing your brain’s neurological habit loop of cue, routine and reward. Here are the five habits that have helped the most people create significant changes in both their performance and wellbeing at work: Creativity: When I wake up (cue), I will spend 10 minutes writing out any problems I’m facing as concisely as possible and then list as many possible creative solutions as I can before identifying one to try that day (routine). I will then place a sticker on my reward chart and when full, treat myself to a massage (reward). Hope: Each morning when I go to get my morning coffee (cue), I’ll take 10 minutes to check in with one of my more hopeful colleagues and see what they’re excited about at the moment (routine). Then I’ll finish my coffee (reward). Diligence: When I get to work (cue), I’ll review my to-do list to ensure that I can still deliver on each of the tasks and if changes need to be made, I’ll update all concerned, so people know they can trust my word and plan accordingly (routine). My reward will be my morning green tea (reward). Love of Learning: When I sit down in front of my computer in the morning (cue), I’ll watch a 10-minute video that teaches me something new (routine), and then post what I’ve learned on social media (reward). Social Intelligence: When it’s lunch time (cue), I will sit in the staff room and take the time to have a meaningful conversation with a colleague, by asking genuine questions about how it’s going/what’s going well (routine). I’ll celebrate by eating my lunch (reward). Could a small daily strengths habit help improve your work? Find out more at strengthschallenge.com, where you’ll be guided step-by-step through creating your own 11-minute habit and be given free resources and access to online strengths coaches to help you put your strengths to work.
