EDITOR
NOTE
FROM THE EDITOR June is finally here. I don’t know about you, but for my family, this is the month we detox from the busyness of the school year. Since we don’t have to wake up on the run, life slows down a bit.
happiness in lieu of a bigger goal. Research shows, however, that happiness helps you be more successful. It’s a matter of the mind, rather than an outgrowth of your journey.
This time of year, I notice my family is usually burned out, and needs a little more TLC and one on one attention. I try to take time with each of my kids and focus on cultivating a better attitude since the summer belongs to them. We also spend time determining what they’d like to accomplish with their free time, and how my husband and I can help them reach their goals. We also revisit what chores we expect them to do to help us around the home.
For our reading Dads, we’ve got several great articles just for you. One focuses on your relationship with your teenage sons, and another on you and your health. All of us here at The Grand Season Family wish you a very Happy Father’s Day!
Our theme for this month is happiness. Often in life, we postpone

YOU
BELIEVE
Enjoy your achievements
Imposter syndrome is a secret held by many—even the highest of achievers. Award-winning actress Tina Fey once said, “The beauty of imposter syndrome is you vacillate between extreme egomania to a complete feeling of, ‘I’m a fraud! Oh, God, they’re on to me.’” The late acclaimed author and poet Maya Angelou described the syndrome like this: “I’ve written 11 books but each time I think, ‘Uh oh, they’re going to find out now. I’ve run a game on everybody, and they’re going to find me out.’” While not a diagnosable psychiatric condition, imposter syndrome is a very real feeling. “People believe they are a fraud, that they are not as competent as they appear or as other people believe they are,” says Judith S. Beck, Ph.D. “People with imposter syndrome tend to believe they have achieved due to luck or fooling others. They fear others will discover their incompetence or inadequacy.”
Fire the imposter By facing imposter syndrome for what it is, you can begin to accept your accomplishments as real, adopt more rational ways of thinking and quiet your fear of being exposed as a fraud. Use these tips to shift away from perfectionism and move toward a more realistic view of yourself.

The Grand Season family
June 2017
1. GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT
Look back on your accomplishments and give yourself some credit. Believe those solid realities and not your own bad press.
2. REALIZE YOU’RE LYING TO YOURSELF Imposter syndrome isn’t about the lie we think we are perpetrating on others, it’s about the real, unrealistic belief—the lie—we aim at ourselves. Recognize that you are not a fraud and release your fear of failure.
3. CHANGE YOUR SELF-TALK
Practice rational responses to your negative self-talk. Write out actual rational responses to each negative thought you build around yourself.
4. DON’T FORGET YOU ARE VALUABLE TO OTHERS
Shift the thoughts away from you and on to how you can help others.
5. TAKE RISKS
Don’t compare and despair. Face your fear. Remind yourself, “I don’t know what I am doing, but I’m willing to see what happens.” When you take steps to face your self-doubt and quiet the feeling of imposter syndrome, you can stop letting your fears get in the way of becoming who you want to be.

CELEBRATE
FATHER’S DAY
Things to buy other than a tie
Let’s face it, our Dads are great, but buying the perfect gift can be a challenge. Try some of these ideas for inspiration as you celebrate your love and respect for your Dad.
SRIRACHA FOR YOU PACKAGE If your Dad is known for adding hot sauce to everything from eggs to chocolate ice cream, don’t let him leave the house without one of these mini Sriracha keychains attached to his belt loop. Designed for Srirachalovers who want to enjoy their favorite sauce both at home and on the go, the set includes one 9-ounce bottle, a 1.7ounce keychain, and a one-ounce keychain. To buy: $15; amazon.com
BIRCHBOX MAN SUBSCRIPTION The beauty subscription box you’ve loved for years now offers an option geared towards guys. Send Dad a monthly surprise box filled with pomades, moisturizers, and all of the aftershave he’ll need until his next shipment arrives. Start by filling out a grooming profile of Dad’s style (Is he a classic man? Or maybe artsy?), along with his hair and skin types, so he can receive products handpicked just for him. To buy: $20 per month; birchbox.com
OLYMPIA PROVISIONS SALAMI BOUQUET If flowers aren’t really your Dad’s thing, this salami bouquet may be more his style. Order an arrangement of three or six pork sausages, all wrapped in butcher paper and tied with a red ribbon. A set of three includes one French, one Spanish, and one Italian salami, so the bouquet doubles as a European tour for Dad’s tastebuds. To buy: From $50; food52.com
AVANTREE 10W BLUETOOTH BIKE SPEAKER Outdoorsy dads don’t have to leave their music at home thanks to this bluetoothenabled, water-resistant speaker. The cylindrical design lets it strap onto a bike or tuck into the mesh pocket of a hiking backpack.

TEENS
SOLID FOUNDATION Tips to connect with your son
Any parent of teenagers knows that the teen years can make the terrible twos look like child’s play. Teenagers are going through a lot and it’s sometimes hard for them—and for us parents—to remember we’re all on the same team. Ideally, teenagers go through a rebellious phase and come out with a strong sense of self. This may look like a battle between fathers and sons—rest assured it is not. There is hope. Try some of these tips to help you both thrive toward achieving independence:
GIVE HIM RESPONSIBILITY
TAKE A TIME-OUT
Standing next to your son and quietly trying to catch a fish gives you the opportunity to just be with one another. Fishing offers a space where there is no battle of who is in charge. In the simple act of fishing, you teach your son the art of patience.
If done in a positive tone, giving your son responsibility around the house shows him that you trust him. Small gestures of responsibility will give him a feeling
14
The Grand Season family
that you view him as a young man. This will instill a sense of pride and gratitude to you for trusting him.
PROVIDE SPACE
In any relationship, sometimes a little space is necessary. If you step away and keep it casual, chances
June 2017
are more than likely that your teenage son will seek you out if you give him the opportunity to.
FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE
Just because your son wants to do things differently does not make his choice wrong. If your son does not want to go to college, see if you can find a compromise. Many young graduates are taking gap years between graduation and attending school to focus on what truly motivates them. Deferring college does not mean he won’t return. Remember, when raising young men, letting go will allow him to grow. www.grandseasonfamily.com

MONEY
LEARNING AND EARNING Chores teach financial readiness
When you pay your child $5 to clean the garage or $6 to mow the lawn, you’re accomplishing far more than just getting the tasks done. A new study reveals a majority of parents use chores to teach their kids money should be earned. When a panel of family bloggers was asked how they use chores to help teach financial lessons to their children, this is what they shared.
Turn “no” into a teachable moment.
“When a child asks for something in a store, instead of just saying no, take the opportunity to teach a financial lesson,” suggests Paula Rollo. “Show your child something you want in the store, and explain why that item, along with the toy he or she wants, is staying at the store. This helps children understand budgeting and smart spending.”
Establish a time for chores.
Just as you have set hours for work, set kids up with a time of day for doing chores. “This will teach them how to plan ahead to get their responsibilities done,” Rollo says. “It will help them start creating their own daily schedules so they have time to do everything they want to get done each day.”
Introduce spending, saving and giving concepts. “Giving
teaches them to be generous first,” says Kristen Chidsey. “And saving teaches money management. If children can master these lifelong skills, they will have a better chance of being financially responsible adults.”
Tap technology to communicate lessons.
There are many chore apps available. Parents and children can discuss household chores, schedule them, and agree on rewards. Chores are a powerful way to help children learn money management skills that will be valuable throughout their lives.

10 books to help achieve your goals
These inspiring, motivational titles will get you through any obstacle. “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. We have hand-picked these 10 inspiring, action-oriented books to help you set goals, stick with them and accomplish them. The bonus? You will feel happier, not only once you achieve your desired goal, but also in the pursuit of it: The journey of mastery and self-discovery is just as important as the destination. Before Happiness: The 5 Hidden Keys to Achieving Success, Spreading Happiness, and Sustaining Positive Change By Shawn Achor Positive change is possible, writes Harvard-trained happiness researcher Shawn Achor, once you recognize that happiness comes before success. When we begin to see our world more positively and realize we can overcome challenges, we summon the drive to achieve personal and professional goals.
Nine Things Successful 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 Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines Into Massive Success & Happiness By Jeff Olson What you do today matters. What you do every day matters more. The key to successfully achieving your goals is to take small, simple actions and compound them over time, writes Jeff Olson. “Successful people just do the things that seem to make no difference in the act of doing them and they do them over and over and over until the compound effect kicks in,” he writes. For example, bringing your lunch from home instead of eating out for one day makes no difference; but do that every day and you’ll save hundreds of dollars per year. 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.

Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny By Tony Robbins Want to achieve self-mastery? Psychology-of-change expert Tony Robbins provides a plan based on the following four steps: 1) Get clear on what you are committed to achieving; 2) Be willing to take massive action; 3) Notice what is or is not working; 4) Continue to change your approach to achieve what you want.
The Achievement Habit: Stop Wishing, Start Doing, and Take Command of Your Life By Bernard Roth In The Achievement Habit, author and Stanford engineering and design professor Bernard Roth shares tools and exercises to overcome obstacles and accomplish goals.

The Magic of Thinking Big: Acquire the Secrets of Success... Achieving Everything You’ve Always Wanted By David J. Schwartz, Ph.D. “You are what you think you are,” writes David J. Schwartz, Ph.D. in The Magic of Thinking Big. Exceeding your goals is possible when you believe in yourself.

KILL THE CLUTTER Manage the mess
Looking to free up some time so you can enjoy your family and friends? Here are several strategies to streamline your chores.
Purge, purge, purge
While getting rid of broken appliances and barely worn clothes initially takes some time, the results are well worth it. After removing barely-used belongings, you’ll have less stuff to store, which prevents clutter from piling up and causing stress in the future!
Toss your junk
When you’re ready to get rid of the junk, start in the area containing the bulk of your possessions, like the bedroom or hallway closet. Tackling the problem head-on by getting the worst part over will help motivate you to complete the project.
Keep clutter at bay
Always put belongings back in their designated spot. It’s easy to finish eating and think, “I’ll put these dishes in the dishwasher later,” or skip putting laundry away when you’re in a rush. Small decisions about clutter can quickly turn into a big mess. Pretty soon, you’ll be overwhelmed by items scattered on the floor and the dishes covering the kitchen counter. Then you’ll be forced to spend a good hour or two putting things away.
Use wall space
If a lack of storage space is constantly causing clutter, take advantage of wall space to install shelves or hang belongings, like coffee cups, bags or hats. This simple trick can enhance your home’s style and maximize storage. Don’t spend more time than you have to on cleaning! A few good new habits are all you need to streamline your routine and open up more time for fun!

3 ways to find the funny in everyday life
Research shows that you can improve your humor and boost happiness! Try these three tips: 1. Be more funny
At the end of each day, write down three funny things you experienced. Describe your feelings with each. This will help you remember and use your humor more the next day.
2. Use humor as a stress release
Name one stressful event you experienced in the last day or two. Journal about how you could have handled the stress in a humorous way.
3. Watch movies that make you laugh
Make a list of your top five funniest movies. Watch them over the course of a week, making a point to laugh and savor the humor in each one. Remember to practice exercising your humor on a regular basis. It will benefit your body, mind and your personal relationships!

FOOD
FRESH START
Supercharge your health!
Don’t blow off breakfast. Really. It’s a daily choice that millions of people shrug off as no big deal, but research proves breakfast is an important element for how you feel throughout the day. Fueling up solely on java may perk you up momentarily (and thank goodness for that kick start), but it doesn’t do the trick long-term. Wonder how breakfast boosts your health? Check these reasons out: AWAKENS YOUR METABOLISM When you eat breakfast, you “break the fast” from sleep and give your metabolism a wake-up call. When you sleep, your metabolism slows and you burn fewer calories. By eating a nutritious breakfast, you spark your internal engine so it burns more calories and gives you more energy throughout the day. HELPS YOU FOCUS Hunger can make people irritable (thus the term “hangry”) and it’s hard to focus on work or school when your stomach is grumbling. By eating a balanced breakfast of fat, protein and fiber, the food is processed into energy over time, and that allows you to feel fuller, longer.

STEADIES THE BURN When you skip breakfast, the body panics for nutrition. For steady energy and efficient calorieburning, eat a nutritious breakfast and other meals on schedule. Adults and children do best when they have a meal or a snack every two hours. ENCOURAGES HEALTHY CHOICES People who eat breakfast tend to make healthier choices throughout the day. Perhaps because they have the energy to think. According to MayoClinic.org, “People who eat breakfast tend to eat a healthier overall diet, one that is more nutritious and lower in fat.”
And let’s face it—being “hangry” isn’t a great way to start anyone’s day.

LOVE
HOW ROMANTIC ARE YOU? Are you a dreamer with a heart of mush or a cold, hard realist?
Romance is a wonderful thing—it infuses spontaneous warmth and passion into a relationship. Most romantic people are in love with love; they get extra enjoyment out of fantasy, idealism and little gestures of endearment. When a couple is on the same page about romance and romantic gestures, it can create a greater bond and be a wonderful route to experiencing more joy together. The question is: How romantic are you?
1. Do you ever create a romantic scene like you’d see in the movies? (Rose petals on the bed or walkway, candles around the room, etc.?) A. As often as possible, I should have stock in a candle company! B. I’ve done my share of romantic scenes. C. Rarely or never. Those are just clichés. 2. Do you believe in love at first sight? A. Yes, I am all about instant love! B. It could be possible for some people some of the time. C. Not in real life; only in movies. 3. Do you daydream about romantic places or ideas? A. One of my favorite things to do! B. I have had my daydreaming moments. C. I am not a daydreamer; I live in the real world. 4. Are you into chick flicks? Romance novels? Still watching shows like “The Bachelor” in hopes of people finding love? A. Most of my movie, television and book choices involve romance. B. I sometimes seek out romantic stories and shows. C. I prefer action, adventure, crime…pretty much anything but romance. 5. Do you use pet names for your partner? A. So often that I rarely call him/her by his/her real name. B. I have moments of using pet names or terms of endearment. C. Not my style.

6. Do you enjoy spooning and cuddling? A. I will take all of the physical affection I can get. B. At convenient and appropriate moments in time. C. I am not much of a cuddler or spooner. 7. Have you brought your partner breakfast in bed? A. It is something I love doing. B. I have before and would again. C. Maybe a granola bar as he/she is headed out the door, but not in bed. 8. Do you plan romantic activities? A. Those are some of the best kinds of activities, so yes! B. I mix in romantic activities with other types of activities. C. Rarely if ever. 9. Do you take initiative in your relationship to be romantic, even if your partner does not? A. Yes, it is a priority for me. B. I will do it if it’s been a while. C. No, it is not all that important or necessary. 10. Do you know what it is to feel mushy inside? A. Yes, I am a mush ball, and I love that mushy feeling. B. I have my mushy moments. C. Not a pleasant feeling or one I have often. 11. Would you call yourself a person who is a romantic? A. I am a romantic, and I am proud of it. B. I would say I can be romantic, but I am not sure that I am one. C. I would not describe myself that way. www.grandseasonfamily.com

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.

GET FIRED UP
5 ways guys can enhance their lives
Summer is here and it’s a time to celebrate and get together with friends and family. Travel, job pressures and entertaining family and friends can take their toll. With so much happening, you may feel uninspired and run down. Follow these five tips to stay fired up and feeling good.
Mind your muscles If you’re trying to lose weight, try a longer, slower jog, which can burn more calories than a quick sprint. Go the opposite route with a shorter, faster run if you want a metabolism booster instead. To build muscle endurance, try lifting lighter weights for higher reps. Not only can you get stronger in the long run, but your technique might also improve.
Work smarter Instead of working harder to conquer your workload, work smarter. It is usually more efficient to work one task all the way to the end instead of trying to multitask. And don’t be afraid to take back your calendar. If that useless meeting is wasting an hour of your time each week, it’s time to cut it from your schedule.
Go the distance Make time in your busy schedule for your partner—yes, in the bedroom. Good sex can help improve both your mood and your relationship. In addition to helping you stay connected during a busy season, it’s a fantastic stress reliever for both of you.

Nerd out You’ve heard the saying knowledge is power, so make the most out of learning opportunities. Whether you read an article about the latest tech gadget, take a history class or learn a skill, education is an easy and rewarding way to stay invigorated about the world around you. Reprioritize your to-do list Make time for those who are most important to you, even if that means turning off your phone and signing off email for a few hours. The moments you spend with friends and family will be those you’ll remember forever, so don’t miss them. Everything else can wait.

HEALTH
NOW TRENDING
New ideas for your health routine
Step aside, green tea. Paleo is so 15 minutes ago. There are some new health and wellness trends taking center stage this year. If you know what “athleisure” means (or you are wearing fractalpatterned leggings as you read this), you probably already know some of these new trends.
PRIORITIZE RECOVERY More people are taking muscle recovery seriously after hard workouts, according to national fitness trainer Chris Freytag. “People still love to workout, but more people are incorporating things like foam rolling, yoga, acupuncture and cupping. People are choosing these more natural ways to take care of their muscles after a hard workout rather than taking an anti-inflammatory.” REFRESH HAPPY HOUR Going sans-alcohol is the new cool. Look for more bars and restaurants featuring fun, healthy “mocktails”—cocktail-like beverages made with fresh seasonal ingredients minus alcohol. More people are touting the health benefits of living permanently on the wagon, and this is leading to social gatherings with a focus on connections over cocktails. Abstaining from alcohol can mean improved mental clarity, less body fat, a better mood, enhanced quality of sleep and improved relationships. If that doesn’t make you want to put down your glass of red wine, this might: For Advertising Information Call (623) 594-1630
Some experts say, Your life’s purpose can sometimes be masked by even moderate alcohol consumption. Going dry may be the new non-smoking. GET FIT ANY TIME “In today’s world, where everyone is time-starved, health-conscious, individuals sometimes struggle to be as active as they’d like to be,” says Chuck Runyon, CEO of Anytime Fitness. “Our job as fitness facilitators is to help others lead healthier, more active lives whenever they can find the time—be it in the gym, at work, at home or while running errands.” UNPLUG WITH TECHNOLOGY Yes, tech can help you chill out. Start by downloading some of the great meditation apps available, such as Calm, Buddhify and Headspace. There are apps that remind you to breathe and gadgets made just to monitor your vitals for stress, such as the WellBe. Yes, your amazing, addictive devices may have caused you stress and anxiety, so why not let them solve those same problems? June 2017

TRAVEL
PACK LIKE A PRO Conquer the packing chaos
Whether it’s business travel, a family road trip or a romantic getaway, travel is an opportunity for new experiences. While you may be counting down the days to your next trip—you may also dread the idea of packing. There’s no need to dread packing Take a look at some tips experienced travelers share here to make packing easier: Make packing lists This helps eliminate the last minute panic of throwing things in the suitcase because you have forgotten what you packed. Print it out a week ahead so you have time

The Grand Season family
to adjust the list and consider what you’ll really need for your trip. If you’re traveling with the family, every family member should have his or her own list. Multipurpose clothing Check the weather for your destination so you pack appropriately for the forecast. Choose items that can serve more than one purpose. Also, pack one extra outfit, just in case the weather goes awry. Pack toiletries strategically Only bring travel sizes of toiletries. Then leave them behind to free up luggage space for mementos. To avoid luggage spills and explosions, place toiletries in plastic bags.
June 2017
Prevent wrinkling To prevent wrinkles on delicate items, try wrapping them around soft, bulky items. For example, wrap a blouse or cotton pants around a sweatshirt. Use a rolling method for packing clothes to save space and prevent wrinkles. Utilize odd-shaped items Shoes take up a ton of luggage space, so strive to select the fewest pairs you’ll need and wear the bulkiest ones while traveling. Place shoes along the sides or bottom to strengthen the bag and then stash items inside to maximize space (like socks, nylons and deodorant). Don’t forget plastic bags They’re the most versatile things you can pack. Whether you need a bag for bringing toys down to the pool, a place for dirty clothes, or a spot to store that soggy swimsuit before you check out of your room, plastic bags are your secret weapon.

GARAGE STORAGE CABINETS
You are more likely to remember something you’ve written in blue ink than something you’ve written in black ink. Put a straw through the middle of a strawberry to easily remove the stem. Taking a quick nap after learning something new can solidify that memory in your brain. Make friends with three people: a law student, a police officer and a bartender. Have trouble sleeping? Blink fast for a minute. Tired eyes help you to fall asleep. Boiling water before freezing it will give you crystal-clear ice.
