Summer Family Vacation Delights and Renewals

As I mentioned last week, I’m taking a break from my regular blogging and emails for two weeks to enjoy our Yearly Family Vacation.

At some point in your life, I hope you have relished the fun of roasting marshmallows over an open fire, then taking that golden (or burnt) piece of ooey gooeyness, placing it on top of a graham cracker that’s been topped with a chocolate bar, adding another layer of graham cracker (or first MORE chocolate bar) and letting the heat from the marshmallow melt into that chocolate. Then you take a bite and it smears all over your face.

Recently, we had our first s’mores night with our children and grandchildren. All the wet wipes we brought weren’t going to help the pieces of the s’mores that were stuck in people’s beards, all over children’s fingers, and just out of reach on our faces to be able to lick them off.

In the midst of making and eating s’mores, we’ve told stories, laughed, teased, hiked, enjoyed the view, and played a game that is a mixture of Round Robin Football Pass and Monkey in the Middle. Then there is the ongoing evening Disney Code Names time that is a great way for all generations to team together. For this Nana who is renewed by people time, it is all soul-satisfying.

I hope you have found some ways to build self-renewing time into your summer.

Are you renewed by:

• Physical activity (D-Style)
• Fun, people time (I-Style)
• Rest and naps (S-Style)
• Quiet alone time (C-Style)

If you wonder how your DISC Style needs to be replenished and restored, I’ve written a short e-book, “It’s Time for Self-Renewal: How to Know the Best Steps to Renew Yourself – DISC Style”. Just click on this link to access it.

I’ll be back on August 8^th as we return to discussing DISC Styles and their Communication preferences.

QUESTION: Have you found ways your DISC Style can be renewed and refreshed? I’d love to hear your thoughts and observations. Please share in the comment section below.
