1.         Learn more about the Vegetable Personality Styles™ cards at www.nancyjmiller.com. 

o   Notice how the color makes you feel. Do you like the cool colors of green and purple or the warm hues of orange and red?

o   Read the description on the front of each card.

o   Sort the cards in order so the one that is most like you is on top and least like you at the bottom of the stack. 

 

2.         Ask a friend or relative to sort the Vegetable Personality Style™ cards with the one most like them at the top of the stack.

o   Did they sort the cards they way you expected? 

o   Ask them why they chose the top card.

o   Then ask them which Vegetable Personality Style™ they think you are. 

o   Have fun talking about which characteristics you share and which are different. 

 

Often the reason for making your choice is more important than the choice itself. After practicing this activity on your own, try it with a young person in your life as a discussion tool. If you have children in your life, you can share the Vegetable Kids Cards available at, https://vegetable-kids.com, while you eat vegetables together.

Challenges in Relationships

  Challenges in Relationships Color needs Pull out VPC descriptions Challenges Challenges come in many different forms. You can feel challenged physically, emotionally, spiritually, culturally, or by your environment. You can be on top of the world one day and then find your self-esteem, motivation, or energy whittled away without ever realizing what happened or why.    Things that we recognize as challenges or that are recognized by our culture, family, and community seem to be the easiest to conquer.
