The Cost of Waiting -- Self‑Love That Shows Up
How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
Annie Dillard
February is traditionally framed as the month of love — flowers, cards, grand gestures offered outward.
But there is a quieter, braver kind of love that often gets overlooked: the kind that chooses timely care over postponement.
Many women have been taught, implicitly and explicitly, that their needs can wait.
That there will be a calmer season.
A lighter workload.
A future version of life where attention to health, energy, and stability finally fits neatly into the schedule.
But biology does not pause while we wait, and neither does the cost.
This month’s theme, “The Cost of Waiting,” is not meant to alarm — it is meant to clarify.
Because love is not passive. Love is protective. Love notices patterns early and responds with intention.
Choosing to begin — even gently — is one of the most profound acts of self‑respect a woman can make. And February, of all months, is a perfect time to start.
With you on the journey,
Christina

Purslane is also a uniquely rich source of 184 phytochemical compounds, including phenolic acids, alkaloids, and flavonoids, which act as antioxidants.
Secale cereale flower pollen extract: A non-allergenic and sustainably sourced extract that contains full- spectrum nutrients such as amino acids, phytosterols, fatty acids, carotenoids, flavonoids, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, this extract is clinically shown to display antioxidant and detoxifying capacity and maintain cellular oxidative stress through significant decrease of GSSG (oxidized glutathione).

Stir 1 scoop into a protein shake made with Pure Protein Complete to support muscle recovery.

February's Daily Diffuser Recipe Calendar
The Emotional Cost of Waiting – Confidence, Trust, and Self‑Relationship
Perhaps the most overlooked cost of waiting is emotional.
Each time a woman notices her body asking for support and responds with postponement, a small fracture forms in trust. Over time, this erodes confidence — not just in the body, but in the self.
There is a quiet grief that accompanies feeling less capable than you once were. And when that grief goes unacknowledged, it often turns inward as self‑criticism.
Women are taught to override signals — hunger, fatigue, stress — in service of others. By midlife, this pattern has consequences. The nervous system remains on high alert. Cortisol stays elevated. Recovery becomes elusive.
Responding earlier — with nourishment, rest, and regulation — is not indulgence. It is repair.
When women choose to act before crisis, they rebuild self‑trust. They experience agency again. And agency is deeply stabilizing.
This is why starting small matters. A single supportive habit, honoured consistently, sends a message: I am paying attention now.
That message changes everything.
The Financial Cost of Waiting – Health, Capacity, and Economic Freedom
Health and income are more deeply intertwined than most women are taught to acknowledge.
Chronic health challenges limit earning capacity, reduce adaptability, and increase dependency — often at the very stage of life when women outlive partners, face caregiving responsibilities, or require greater financial resilience.
Waiting to address health can quietly narrow income options. Fatigue reduces creativity. Brain fog impacts decision‑making. Pain limits consistency. Over time, this translates into fewer opportunities and greater vulnerability.
Conversely, businesses built with flexibility, community, and wellness at their core offer something profoundly different: income that adapts to life rather than punishes it.
In a Young Living business, health and income are not separate pursuits. The same consistency that supports metabolism — small, daily actions compounded over time — is what builds sustainable business growth.
Waiting to start a business often carries the same logic as waiting to support health: I’ll do it when things are calmer.
But momentum is created by beginning, not by waiting for perfect conditions.
Income, like health, responds to early and steady care.
Choosing both is not risky. Waiting is.

Our revolutionary new Balance & Burn™ System is officially launched on Saturday, January 10.
Meet the Balance & Burn™ System
- A plant-powered GLP-1 support and weight-management system that helps your body find balance.

Because white-knuckling your metabolism is exhausting
If you’ve been thinking “I’m doing all the right things… so why does my body feel stuck?”You’re not imagining it.For so many of us—especially in midlife—weight gain, stubborn belly fat, blood sugar swings, low energy, and constant cravings aren’t about willpower. They’re about balance. Hormones. Gut health. How your body actually uses fuel.
That’s why I’m paying attention to something new coming from Young Living.Balance & Burn™ is a plant-powered system designed to support your body’s own metabolic signals, including natural GLP-1 activity in the gut—the same pathway everyone is suddenly talking about, but supported gently and naturally.
This system is designed to help:
• Support GLP-1 production in the gut (which plays a role in blood sugar balance)*
• Help your body use fat more efficiently for energy*
• Support healthy triglyceride and lipid levels already in the normal range* • Support gut health and microbiome diversity*
• Bring your metabolism back into a more cooperative relationship with you
This isn’t about forcing your body to shrink.
It’s about helping your body feel safe enough to let go.
No extremes.
No punishment.
No “start over Monday” energy.
