As Labour Day approaches and the kids head back to school, we’re all trying to squeeze in those last few precious moments of summer. For about 1.6 million people around here, that means a trip down to the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition), which is now in its 145th season. Regardless of what you’re up to, the way you enjoy the season’s final weeks is tied to your personality dimensions. With endless possibilities in a short period of time, let’s take a look at how each dimension is making the most of these summer days.
For the Authentic Blues, these last summer days are all about strengthening relationships and creating memorable experiences with the people in their lives. You can find them planning quality time with family, organizing group outings with close friends, or volunteering their time to support a cause they care deeply about. Their goal is to create meaningful connections and make memories that will sustain them through the busier months ahead.
If you’ve got an Inquiring Green in your life, chances are they’re spending these final summer weeks embracing new challenges and expanding their worldview. Their interests are endless, and you might just find them researching sustainable gardening techniques to try in their backyard, or tackling a DIY project that allows them to learn valuable new skills. You might even find them planning an end-of-season trip focused on hands-on discovery, like a nature photography workshop or a foraging expedition. For Inquiring Greens, the objective is taking on challenges through exploration and problem-solving.
For the Organized Golds, the end of summer means it’s time to get organized and prepare for the busy months ahead. They’re busy making detailed schedules, meal prepping for the week, and ensuring all their ducks are in a row before the hectic atmosphere of fall sets in. You can bet they’ve already mapped out their fall calendar, colour-coded and cross-referenced. But they’ll still carve out pockets of time to enjoy a few more backyard barbecues or trips to the beach with the important people in their lives – as long as it’s all neatly planned out, of course.
When it comes to savouring the last weeks of summer, Resourceful Oranges are all about maximizing excitement and seizing the moment. They’re the ones hosting last-minute pool parties, organizing spontaneous day trips, and seeking out any opportunity for adventure. You’ll find them on the lake, attending outdoor concerts, or road-tripping to music festivals – anything to make the most of these final carefree days before the grind of autumn sets in. There’s also a good chance you’ll find them tackling those much-needed outdoor projects before time runs out
No matter your personality dimensions, there’s no shortage of ways to take in the end of summer. So, soak up those last rays of sunshine, make some lasting memories, and get ready for the seasons to come!
