Leadership in Action - English - 202107

Just like it’s hard to imagine life without a wheel, can you picture life without nature? Even if it’s simply seeing a bird soaring above the treetops or feeling a fresh breeze as you crest the final hill on your favorite trail, nature and our environment are supremely important. Our lives are forever bound to the world around us, so it makes sense that we should protect what we have. It is impossible to feel completely well as long as we live in an environment that is compromised. Melaleuca is mindful of nature and the environment, and we work hard to care for it. From pioneering ultra-concentrated products that use less plastic to eliminating harmful ingredients (such as phosphates, chlorine bleach, and ammonia) to using energy-efficient production facilities, we strive to care for Mother Nature. You are an integral part of this care plan. Did you know that by choosing Melaleuca products, you have already helped save over 117 000 tons of plastic, 174 million liters of fuel, and more than 635 000 tons of greenhouse emissions?¹ Caring for our world allows everyone to experience the peace, comfort, and joy that only nature can provide. And those feelings are important parts of experiencing a well-rounded life. Learning is essential to our existence. Where would you be if you had never learned to read and write? If you had never learned how to drive? Or if you had never learned the skills required to provide for your family? Just like healthy foods provide the nourishment our bodies need, continuous learning provides the nourishment our minds and lives need. One of Melaleuca’s primary missions has to do with continually feeding your mind. Recall our Mission Statement: To enhance the lives of those we touch by helping people reach their goals. Gaining education and skills is an important part of helping you reach your goals SM . That’s one of the reasons you have so many opportunities to receive coaching and provide coaching to others. Those opportunities help you to learn social and business skills that will benefit every facet of your life. Add to that the knowledge you can gain as you learn about how Melaleuca products help your body, your home, and the environment and you have a wealth of education at your fingertips. There is so much available learning material, you could probably receive a Melaleuca degree!

Humans are meant to be social—so much so that famed psychologist Abraham Maslow included love and belonging as the third most important aspect in his hierarchy of needs. Recently, studies have been conducted that show the harmful effects of isolation and perceived isolation. Dr. Louise Hawkley, a senior research scientist at the University of Chicago, has found that loneliness can affect more than just a person’s mental health. Evidence shows that social isolation can lead to depression, poor sleep quality, impairment to thought processes and the ability to make informed choices, cognitive decline, reduced cardiovascular functions, and reduced immunity at every stage of life.² These effects will certainly reduce an overall feeling of wellness. Melaleuca can help here as well. That’s because a Melaleuca business is a social business. From the first day you switch stores to shop with Melaleuca or the first day you choose to start your own Melaleuca business, you are surrounded by people who care. As part of the Melaleuca family, you are among those who believe in an abundance mindset. That is, we believe that helping others is the best way to help ourselves and that there is no limit to how many of us can succeed. As you participate in your team’s ongoing education, the many coaching and celebratory events Melaleuca hosts, and the opportunity to share Melaleuca’s amazing products with the world, you can enjoy a richer social life. You will make friends to last a lifetime as you teach the abundance mindset to others and help them reach their goals as well. Stress is something we all experience. When we do, there is no denying that it reduces our ability to live our best life. In fact, a study conducted by the American Psychological Association shows that living with regular stress can cause problems in all of your body’s major systems.³ For years, studies have shown that one of the biggest and most persistent sources of stress is money. And while money by itself may not present a path to happiness and wellness, reducing the stress from a lack of money certainly can. Financial wellness is an important area of overall wellness, and Melaleuca can help in that aspect of your life as well. Whether it’s a balanced budget, a healthy savings account, a plan to reduce debt, or simply access to a plan B if needed, Melaleuca’s revenue-sharing plan allows you and your family the opportunity to earn reliable supplemental income that can help reduce stress. And reduced stress helps balance your life so you can focus on the things that matter most.
