Every one of us faces the fall in a totally different way because we are all extraordinarily different people. If you don't know your personality style yet, take our quiz to find out. And remember, personality descriptions are not intended to stuff you in a box, but rather to dust off your wings so you can really begin to fly!

Rx for MasterMinds
Yes, it’s summer! Time to live large and enjoy life. The Self segment in this magazine was all about pleasure, and perhaps it’s time to invite a bit of that into your life. You tend to think on the practical side. If it doesn’t have a functional use, then why the heck do you need it? Well, darling, maybe it’s time to discover one of the biggest needs in your life – pleasure. Try to spend just a bit of time and energy this month incorporating things that give you pleasure – perhaps you should schedule a moonlight stroll or a spa day. It may not be the most practical thing in your life, but we all need to feel alive.

Rx for Starry-Eyed Dreamers
You enjoy the summer so much. The schedules are lighter and the pressure eases up. But keep in mind that it takes little efforts every day to stay ahead of the game. Don’t use summer as an excuse to let your hard work blow away in the soft, summer breezes. Get up before the kids and spend a few minutes preparing for the day. And don’t forget about your PM routine before you go to bed. Picking up and straightening the house before you go to bed will leave you more refreshed and energized than a chilled mocha in a café on the beach (okay, maybe not, but it’s worth a shot).

Rx for Mother Hens
Ah, sweet, sweet summer. Time to lighten up and leave our routines by the wayside. But, wait a minute! You love routines! Just try to keep in the back of your mind the notion that everyone needs a little down time now and then (kids included). It’s not necessary to keep their days full and organized. And it’s not necessary for you either. Maybe it’s time to learn the gentle art of letting go. Leave blocks of time open to explore, create, and dream. And don’t feel pressured to fill it up with chores, errands, or anything involving a screen (television, computer, whatever). Quiet down a bit so that you can listen to that creative voice within.

Rx for Creative Spirits
Summer holds so much energy for you. You tend to shoot for the moon every time summer rolls around (this summer, I’m running a marathon, trekking across the Gobi desert, and redecorating the house). Big dreams are a must; and by all means, hold on to them. But also allow yourself room to grow and evolve. Just because your plans take a different turn doesn’t mean you haven’t succeeded. Your path to success has just taken a new direction. Joy doesn’t come at the end of the road. The joy is in the process of getting there. Try not to get caught up in the end game, but relish every pleasure that comes your way.
