PREPPING YOUR FAMILY FOR FALL
Tips from Royal Crown Diamond Christa Smith
FOUNDER’S MESSAGE
WHAT AN AMAZING 2015 International Grand Convention we had in Dallas! Your passion for Young Living and your desire to help others discover and live our rewarding lifestyle is inspiring. I hope you feel encouraged, elevated, and charged as we continue to work together to Light the Fire! Perhaps my favorite thing about the convention, besides rekindling friendships, is how much we learn. Every year personal development and business leaders share their insights into how we can improve ourselves so that we can improve the world. It is through learning and applying that we ignite personal growth and develop the motivation to lift others.
“It is through learning and applying that we ignite personal growth and develop the motivation to lift others.” If you want to ambitiously chase your dreams and one day achieve them, your personal growth is the key. We have to build ourselves before we can build those around us. We have to become leaders before we can lead, and learning is the driving force to becoming. The Young Living lifestyle gives people the potential to become what they want to become. It gives every member who is willing to work, learn, and grow the opportunity to live their dreams. World-renowned author and motivational speaker Jim Rohn once said, “Formal education will make you a living; selfeducation will make you a fortune.” The full Young Living experience, with our world-class products and lifestyle, is a tremendous classroom for self-education. The journey will take time, and it probably won’t be easy—there’s no quantum leap to real achievement—but when you take what you learn and apply simple, positive steps to your activities and relationships, you will succeed. So, love the journey! Love where you are and where you are going. Keep learning and growing, and we’ll see you at the top!
Stay ahead of the curve by making sure your kids are ready for the back-to-school season. FROM ENJOYING THE rich colors to spending precious moments with your family and friends, autumn offers an abundance of opportunities to make lasting memories. It’s also a season that puts everyday life into overtime. School starts, extracurricular activities begin, and the holidays are around the corner. As summer vacation ends and one of the year’s most hectic seasons begins, now is a great time to re-establish healthy habits for the whole family. When it comes to family know-how, Christa Smith, Royal Crown Diamond and mother of 15, knows her stuff. Christa was excited to share with us the ways she preps her family for fall. “There are a few simple things that I do as a mother,” Christa said, “to keep my kids at their optimal levels of wellness.” Check out her go-to products and tips to keep the entire family supported through the cooler, busier months.
Christa’s tips:
• Incorporate consistent essential oil diffusing. Make a daily chore for your kids to change out the diffusers around the house. • Make NingXia Red part of breakfast every day
• The classroom can be a dirty place. When kids come home from school, send them to the bathroom to wash their hands with Thieves Soap to encourage positive hygiene habits inside and outside of the house. • Incorporate optimal nutrition and healthy eating for your family. Start by reading labels on food thoroughly! The next step is having your kids help pick the menu and prepare the food, so they are engaged in the entire process. Lastly, dig in and enjoy a healthy meal at home! • Hold weekly or monthly family meetings to establish a sense of mutual respect, understanding, and support by incorporating the feedback of individual family members into your family routine. These meetings are also a great opportunity for kids and parents to begin defining, focusing on, and asking for support with individual goals. With Christa’s family of 17, we are grateful she was able to take the time to share her tips with us. You can get more tips, stories, and advice by visiting our blog at YoungLiving.com/blog.
